San Diego Comic Con 2012 is just in one more week and we are excited! Each year we have looked forward to attending, but this year is a little more special for us with the return of Middle Earth to the big screen. The Hobbit premieres in the U.S., December 14th. Along with the huge Warner Brothers panel on Saturday, July 14th, which features The Hobbit, we will once again be privileged in seeing one of the companies, Weta Workshop, who has helped in designs, creatures, weapons, and so much more in The Lord of the Rings.
Weta can be found at booth #3513B with even a larger booth! Weta will be bringing Middle Earth to San Diego Comic Con and unveiling an initial range of collectibles and prop replicas from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.
The Weta crew will bring a few great surprises along with the unveiling of a few incredible pieces, including
Barad-dur - Fortress of Sauron.
For the first time, The Lord of the Rings diorama, Fellowship of the Ring sets will be unveiled as well. There are 3 sets that feature all nine walkers and one faithful pony sculpted in intricate detail, making their journey across Middle-earth.
The first Fellowship of the Ring set is now available for pre-order, which includes Gandalf the Grey, Frodo Baggins, and Legolas.
Along with unveiling incredible Lord of the Rings pieces, we will get the opportunity to meet some of the award winning Weta crew:
