Pictures like that make me want to throw my camera in the trash can.

The original sculpt was actually used as a background element in the film.

Re: Weta Orthanc Pre-Ruin Environment
Wow! Another great environment by Weta. I owned several of the original Orthanc's at one time, but eventually sold them all off...it was just too small for my liking. Kudos to Weta for making this one much larger.  And I agree, had this one been the same size as the original, I think the value of the original would have gone even higher, but as it stands I can see it's value dropping like a rock.

Re: Weta Orthanc Pre-Ruin Environment
If you fell on it, would you die?

A relevant question.  Whereas falling on the original might have resulted in a flesh wound, fall on this one....and it's game over.

Re: Weta Orthanc Pre-Ruin Environment
Looks Great! I don't regret missing out on the original any more. I agree that there is no way the original's value will not plummet. This new version blows the original out of the water IMO. It's definitely a great time to be a LOTR collector!
