One of the reasons that Weta - they listen to the collectors/fans requests up front (Bag End, anyone?).

Re: Your requests for the D9 line

Would like to see all of them made, but what I'd be most likely to purchase would be mini 1/4 scale weapons.

Though an Art book is also very much at the top of my list.

Re: Your requests for the D9 line

It a shame you can only vote for one, there are pieces from different formats I'd seriously consider. 1:6 statues and art prints would be incredible, as would design maquettes of the suits/ships. Even Prawn busts would be uber-wicked
I went with 1:6 statues.

Re: Your requests for the D9 line

An Art book for me - the really attractive part was the word comprehensive

My second click would have been for an exosuit

Then 1/4 scale weapons

Hey, to be true to the spirit of the question, "what would you like to see next"-- I thought it best to see what you really wanted, and not 8 different things

Re: Your requests for the D9 line

So what category would the exo-suit be; vehicle/ships or 1/6-1/4 statue?

Re: Your requests for the D9 line

Probably one of the statue ones?

Scale would just be to your preference, 1/4 are a lot larger (and more expensive-- especially speaking of the exo suit)

Weta doesn't have a huge precedence here but I thought I'd include it anyway; the only ones that I think were 1/4 were a few of the Superman Returns statues.

I prefer sixth scale.

Re: Your requests for the D9 line

Thanks CS, I also prefer 1/6 scale and this scale exo-suit would be superb!
My next vote would be for an art book.

Yeah i voted 1/6 as obviously is less in both space and cost although if any statue from D9 were to be 1/4 for me the Exo Suit would be it but i would be just as happy if it were in 1/6.

Re: Your requests for the D9 line

I wonder, if Tim had something more specific in mind for what to make/release next.

So instead of general product types, it's what more specific items do ppl want next:

- more 1:1 scale weapons
- 1:4 scale 'mini' weapons
- exosuit
- mothership
- 'prawn' statues
- art book
- other

and then after that get down to most want type/scale, for say the exosuit or the mothership.

Re: Your requests for the D9 line

If they made the exosuit, I would like it to be 1/4 scale. There is alot of detail when it comes to that thing, and I don't know if 1/6 could capture it all. I know it would be out of most peoples price range, but it would look so great at that scale.

Btw, I voted for more 1:1 weapons.

Re: Your requests for the D9 line

I voted art book, but the format of the poll isn't really serving us here; it forces a very very difficult choice when really almost all of us would be happy paying customers for a range of products. I think it's sort of making each choice look less popular than it really is.

Anyway, for me, art book, more 1:1 weapons, a 1:1 Prawn space helmet, scale exosuit, mothership and dropship would be the main things. Model kits of some of this would be nice, but I realize that's unlikely and the license may not allow it.

How tall is the suit - about ten or twelve feet? A 1/4 would be epically BIG! Suits me...

(Why so little love for the dropship? That thing is gorgeous.)
