About the Weta Collectibles Hellgate: London statues
The official collectibles from the highly anticipated game
For the first time, Weta Limited have created a line of collectibles based on a PC game. They have partnered with games developer Flagship Studios to create statues of the characters and demons featured in the upcoming game, Hellgate: London.
Weta Limited has designed and created four statues based on the characters from Hellgate: London, The Cabalist, The Female Templar, The Male Templar and The Hunter. Each piece will be a limited edition run of 1,000 pieces. Ordering is currently available through www.wetanz.com/collectibles.
Weta Limited officially launched in 2005. In the two years since then, the company has successfully produced over thirty pieces from four different movies, under the brand of Weta Collectibles: King Kong, Superman Returns, The Legend of Zorro and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, including DVD exclusives.
Weta Collectibles are known for their attention to detail and realistic depictions of characters, most notably from films. The move into the gaming market was a natural progression, says Weta Limited Manager, Jamie Wilson. “Our discerning collectors tend to enjoy a wide range of multi media experiences, so the progression towards making high end gaming products was always in our plans. When we were approached by Flagship Studios to create the official collectibles, we jumped at the chance.”
Flagship Studios is a creator of innovative entertainment software, designing games that focus on ease of play, replay ability, and fun. The studio was formed in 2003 by former executives and developers from Blizzard North® and represents the creators of the worldwide, best-selling Diablo® franchise.

“The chance to work with such creative geniuses is simply unbelievable,” said Bill Roper, CEO of Flagship Studios. “We’ve all been admirers of their Weta craftsmanship for years, and the amazing quality and detail in their pieces is just another display of their incredible abilities. We’re looking forward to a fantastic collaboration visualising the characters of Hellgate: London as collectibles.”
