A unique, hand-painted vinyl collectible, created in the Workshop. Given away to a lucky winner randomly drawn among all the Weta newsletter subscribers.
Ben and his colleagues were tossing around whimsical ideas when inspiration struck like a bolt of lightning. The result? A brilliant reimagining of Gandalf the Grey as a Road Worker, complete with a stop/go sign that reads "pass" and "not pass" – a playful nod to that iconic scene from The Lord of the Rings with a certain grumpy Balrog.
But that's not all! Ben's passion for 3D modelling came into play as he meticulously crafted a construction hat, sign, and radio to complete the transformation. It was truly a team effort, with our talented crew helping Ben out from design to manufacture working tirelessly to bring this imaginative idea to life.
