Weta Workshop

To be fair to Weta, a lot of their collectibles really are quite beautiful works of art. It's just that this one is, well, a rather bland-looking scarf.

Wouldnt go with my doc martins.

Of course not. It should really be worn barefoot, for maximum authenticity.

Or with a hat with the word MUG on it.

What was i thinking

I have a feeling that the scarf will look a lot more beautiful in person, its got an intricate looking leaf motif from what I can see, and its also silvery grey like elven cloaks, it probably changes colour slightly in different light, I have noticed that Tolkiens favorite colour was grey, also quite fresh, because you dont think of grey as a particularly beautiful colour, I must admit I have developed a liking for all tones of grey since reading Tolkien.

Ahh Mrs Figg you are obviously less of a cynic than me (in fairness most folks are) where you see a lovely scarf I see only the commercial exploitation of Tolkiens name.

So it's a scarf we can meet! Like a talking purse! Coool! Mind, typical of PJ to replace a talking purse with a talking scarf.

of COURSE it can talk, I would have thought it was obvious? and like Elven rope, it has a mind of its own, and if you are cheeky it strangles you, I may buy it for you for Christmas.

I'll happily chip in to that pressie if it'll keep the cheek down!

We will have to buy two, one for Petty as well.

I didn't know that Richard Taylor had been knighted. Good for him! He's a master of his craft and under him Weta has become a true pioneer of digital effects.

I didnt no that either, how did that slip through our fingers precious

They can be very secretive Queens!

Damn censors! Glad to Richard for though, you can see his passion for his projects in all those documentaries for LOTR. Deserves it.

Is that a uruk-hai helmet or an elaborate chess piece?

That was funny, made me laugh
