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.)

I forgot to mention the dropship. I would be down for that aswell. It would be easier and cheaper to do on a larger scale...I think.

Re: Your requests for the D9 line

I went with the 1/6 scale statue line. Would be interested in what Weta can do with this.

Re: Your requests for the D9 line

Space...the final frontier!!


And I've more or less reached the end of mine for displaying.

So, voted 1/6 scale as I don't think there are too many character options on this and would also like to see a prop replica of an eviction order (complete with a 'fookin prawn') hand print.

Re: Your requests for the D9 line

Item specific ...

I'd like to see next. Christopher and son

Exosuit

Wikus transforming. Maybe with part of his shirt off.



And anytime later down the track the Mothership ... I imagine the $$ on that will be exquisite Need time to recoup.

In about that order

Re: Your requests for the D9 line

1/6 scale statues are the way to go with District 9 imo.

Christopher and son. Definitely.

Wikus statue is a must have to.

And the exosuit.

Vehicle and ships. I'm assuming the prawn mech falls into that category.

Your referring to the Exo Suit right thats in my Sig? If so i think there's some confusion as some have picked Veh and Ships and others 1/6 in relation to this piece?

Guess as long as it makes an appearance it doesn't matter as we'll all be happy campers.

Re: Your requests for the D9 line

as a lover of all things tech I had to vote for more 1:1 weapons, but if it came to pass I would trample old ladies into the dust for a chance to see a 1:4 Exo Suit.

what we really need is a 1:1 bronze suit to go somewhere in wellington, (near the tripod would be great).....I'm serious! who's with me......?
