The Lord of the Rings' dwarf warrior is joining Weta Workshop's ongoing Classic Series lineup. Confirmed via Weta Workshop's official product listing and reported by TheOneRing.net, the 1:6 Scale Gimli: Hunter of the Plains statue is available for pre-order at $399, with expected shipping in Q1 of the following year.
This is a confirmed release with locked pricing, so here's what's included.
Weta Workshop's official product listing, as reported by TheOneRing.net, confirms the following:
As part of Weta's established Classic Series line, this Gimli statue joins previously released companion pieces from the same trilogy sequence, giving collectors who already own related Classic Series figures a matching addition rather than a standalone, unrelated release.
At $399, this statue sits well below Weta Workshop's higher-end limited polystone releases, giving Lord of the Rings collectors a more accessible entry into premium Weta statuary without the four-figure price tags seen on some of the studio's larger pieces. That pricing tier makes this Gimli a more realistic starting point for collectors newer to Weta's Lord of the Rings output, who might otherwise be priced out of the studio's flagship large-scale statues but still want authentic, officially licensed detail work rather than a mass-market alternative.
Gimli's dwarven stature, heavy armor, and axe-forward combat style give sculptors a naturally dense, texture-rich subject for detailed 1:6 scale work, since the character's design leans on visible craftsmanship in his armor and weaponry rather than simpler cloth-and-skin surfaces.
Since Weta Workshop's Classic Series has covered multiple members of the Fellowship across separate releases, this Gimli statue gives collectors already building out that lineup a natural next addition, while the shared "Hunter of the Plains" naming with the companion Legolas release suggests Weta is specifically continuing the tracking-party sequence from the trilogy's Two Towers section rather than jumping between unrelated scenes.
For a 1:6 scale statue with fine costume detail, EVORETRO's acrylic modular case keeps the piece dust-free while awaiting its Q1 shipping window.
For displaying Gimli alongside companion Classic Series figures, EVORETRO's acrylic display risers add tiered shelf presence.
Given the "Hunter of the Plains" naming shared with Weta's companion Legolas Greenleaf statue, collectors interested in displaying the full tracking-party scene should watch for whether Aragorn receives a matching release to complete the trio.
Weta Workshop's long-standing production ties to Peter Jackson's original trilogy give its Classic Series statues a level of costume and prop accuracy that licensed third-party manufacturers often can't match, since Weta itself built much of the original film's physical armor and weaponry, making its statues effectively based on the source props rather than reference photography alone.
With Gimli and Legolas both released under the "Hunter of the Plains" naming, collectors aiming for a complete display of the trilogy's Rohan tracking sequence should watch specifically for whether Weta completes the set with a matching Aragorn statue, since a partial trio would leave the scene visually incomplete.
$399.
Q1 of the following year.
1:6 scale, part of the Classic Series.
Yes, a matching Legolas Greenleaf: Hunter of the Plains statue in the same series.
Gimli tracking through Rohan alongside Aragorn and Legolas during the trilogy's Two Towers section.
No, $399 sits well below the studio's higher-end limited polystone releases.
The studio's original ties to producing physical props and armor for Peter Jackson's trilogy give its statues a level of source accuracy that later licensed manufacturers often can't replicate.
Not yet confirmed, though completing the tracking-party trio would require one alongside the existing Gimli and Legolas releases.
Not directly, but it's part of why Weta Workshop statues carry a reputation for accuracy that helps justify their premium positioning relative to less established manufacturers.
Weta Workshop's Classic Series releases aren't guaranteed to see a second production run, so ordering during the current pre-order window is the safer approach.
This Gimli statue gives Lord of the Rings collectors an accessible entry into Weta Workshop's premium Classic Series lineup, with pre-orders already open. Securing one now ahead of the Q1 shipping window is the clearest next step.
Having a case and risers ready means the statue will be properly displayed once it arrives.
