[Pre Order] Weta Superman Black Suit 1:4 Scale Statue A$136.75 (Was $1374) + ~$253 Shipping & Tax @ Weta Workshop

580

Snyder fans rejoice! Anyone that knows or has visited the Weta workshop in NZ knows of the high quality of their work. Their figurines are no exception to this. This one of Henry Cavill in Justice League originally sold for $1374 AUD. It does say pre-order but once you do all the payments they will send it. Speaking to them last week they had over 10 boxes remaining. Yes the shipping fees are higher than the actual figure. No way around it considering it weighs 11kg, is 65cm tall and comes in a box the size of a small refrigerator.

The signature superhero of the DC Universe, Superman returns wearing the iconic black version of his costume in Zack Snyder’s Justice League.

FEATURES

  • 1:4 scale statue in high quality polystone
  • Portrays the most well-known superhero of them all – Superman, in an iconic black suit with the “S” emblazoned on his chest.
  • 2 x interchangeable heads with different facial expressions and LED light-up eyes (2 x LR41 - Batteries not included)
  • Concepted and created under Zack Snyder's vision and direction.
  • Digitally sculpted from original 3D film files, by Weta Workshop artist Mauro Santini.
  • Unique base design featuring additional “Zack Snyder’s Justice League” plaque for display at collector’s preference.

KNOWN DEFECTS & QUALITY ISSUES

  • The quality of the final product may not match the quality of the prototype.
  • The paint application on the face of both interchangable heads may lack texture and facial features, such as freckles, veins, or blemishes.
  • The Cape may not perfectly assemble to its complete position when attached to the body (a 3mm gap may be visible).

      Make sure you complete all the instalment payments

      • Thanks, just went to their website and did it manually.

      • I went to pay the remaining AU$102.56 instalment and got this message (I had ticked the box that said to use the Weta dollars):

        8 Wētā Dollars has been successfuly deducted from your account. A minimum of AUD90.27 has been charged to your card.

        I think the Superman statue itself gave me 5 Weta dollars and the other 3 Weta dollars must have been from my previous purchase (Galadriel 1:6 scale statue that was on sale last year).

      • I paid the deposit but can’t find where to pay the remaining $102.56.
        Anyone know how to pay the balance? There’s no “Pay Now” button in my account.
        Cheers!

          When you login there and go to your account. There is a section called 'Pre-Orders & Payment Plans' it's in there.

  • Next time you speak to them, ask if G.K.R is ever coming back

          …. something about delivering to a hotel and hopping on a plane - spend the weekend in NZ and return for not much more that the delivery charge.

    Great place to visit in Auckland if you are ever there. The tour they do was awesome.

    • Going there in Dec. Already added to my list :-0

    • Wellington as well I believe

    I honestly don't have a place to put a massive superman model, resisting the buy now think later

  • It looks so nice!

  • It says crew sale, not sure if meant for normal customers? XD

    Man ofsl steal?

  • Total shows as USD $228.66 on US site. Australian site shows it as Sold Out

  • Thanks OP

    Bought! lets hope they actually send it… its a huge discount on RRP.

    • I got mine on Monday. Hope you get it, you won't get a better figurine for that money.

      • How did you find the link?

        • +3

          I'd wanted this for long time, but didn't want to pay over $1000. Was doing a random google search for it and it came up as a result. Was thinking is this an employee link that they had let public, would they even honor it. But they are legit company, would always get a refund. Turned out to be real.

    Dang, nice find OP. Bought one and paid fully. Finger crossed it will be honoured

    do we order through US or AU site
    thanks for the great deal

    all good mentioned above

  • KNOWN DEFECTS & QUALITY ISSUES

    • So it's a seconds item

      • It's just poor production run. The final product was no where near as good as the prototype.

  • Any way to avoid shipping and tax

    There is one for darkseid too

    https://www.wetanz.com/au/darkseid-crew-sale

    • Nice, how did you find another crew sale one?

      • +2

        I was looking at other 1:4 scale models and just used the darkseid actual URL and made it a bit more the like the crew sale one you found for superman :)

          Good work! i would try every now and then to see if the Batman and Wonder woman ones become bargains

  • Now the main question is where can we find that big size Acrylic display box?
    (W x H x L) 47 cm x 64.7 cm x 38 cm
    That means we need 50 x 65 x 40 box. 65cm height!
    I checked on Aliexpress as I just purchased some for my 1/18 car models, and could only found height up to 45cm.
    And then the cost would be extreme as well. A box of 45x45x45 costs north of $200… More than the figurine!

  • Bargain, Snyder bruhs will save a heap on viagra with this.

  • US$228 delivered to my place which is $350 aud

    thanks fully paid superman. not sure about the other statue though. got some 1/4 from eb sale from previous years and they were around $500.

  • Bought superman for AUD $351.32
    lets see if they just wanted my personal info or legit

  • ordered, if there were only 10 left. not sure if i am too late.

  • Thanks OP. Got one.

  • Thanks, ordered.
    Think I am late though, order is processing…

  • +2

    3800 clicks and they had "over 10" in stock - it appears that the site's stock checker isn't working 😂
    You can still place an order even now !

    I saw some comments saying that the head sculpt’s paintwork was really poor. But it seems this was fixed in later batches. Could OP please confirm whether the head sculpt’s quality is great?

  • +1

    When you click on Ops link it shows available to pre order but then if you select Justice League from the product list it shows Out of Stock so might get lots of cancellation emails soon.

    Doesnt looks so good as per those website pictures:

      The sculpt isn’t bad, but it doesn’t look like Henry Cavill, and the painting looks like amateur work.

  • Online order manager : Ahhh~ nice sleep!… wait..wait.. What????

  • Ordered and confirmed. I'm not a collector but I really liked Henry Cavill's Superman so this will be my first.

    It doesn't look too bad imo from this video:

    For this price, it's ok. A lot of collectors cancelled their preorder at the time it was released two years ago due to the poor paint on the headsculpts. I would say watch those youtube videos and decide for yourself.

  • +1

    For $350 its pretty decent price for this scale, if you are not obsessed with Henry its acceptable, for like to like facial features, you are looking at $1000+ price tag cos it takes an extreme artist to copy the contour

    • +2

      Not really, InArt and Hot Toys make pretty good Superman with near exact face sculpt for about $500 ish in 1/6th scale though. Not 1/4th

  • The man child in me would have hopped on this if it were harley quinn

  • Page not found

  • Now, it’s time to process the refund, lolzzzz
