the only weta shop item i've ever really wanted

i don't even go online much anymore. in fact i just logged in to ask if anyone can by any chance lend me USD5,000 so i can buy this:

click on the link and behold the detail on this magnificent thing. it's nearly 6 feet tall. in all likelihood, you could put it anywhere in your house and convince people you've really got ian mckellen over for second breakfast.



so.

USD 5K.

please?

i'll pay you back.

someday.

i can pay you back in stories, if that's on the table.

i'll work really hard.
