New LicenseThe latest edition of the Sideshow newsletter announced a new format of LOTR collectibles: “Next week, you’ll get your first glimpse at the newest LOTR collectible series; The Lord of the Rings Diorama line.

Legolas and Gimli on ArodSeems like there is a lot of news coming out of Sideshow Collectibles these days! This time, collectors have a second chance to purchase the Legolas and Gimli on Arod Sideshow/Weta Polystone statue! There are only 20 being offered to collectors, which means they will probably go quickly. (In fact, this was only offered to Sideshow newsletter subscribers just a few hours ago). We’ve also linked a review of this piece if you were sitting on the fence about the purchase. [Order] [Review with Additional Imagery]
