So his head is about twice the height of a Hobbit. Doesn't seem so hard to make a model of to me. I think the only thing epic sized is the exaggerations of how big the model should be. I think that this is very easily within GW's ability to produce (those 8" tall knights for example and mumakil). With plastic sprues and insert changes and breaking up the sculpt into head parts, tail, neck, body halves, legs, and wings... way easy.
There is absolutely NO excuse for this to not be made. Delayed because PJ couldn't make up his mind on 90% of the film until editing, yes. Delayed because of rights, maybe. Delayed or not made because The Hobbit is not selling, perhaps if they can sell that tale. I am sure that they were not allowed to show anything about smaug as it is a spoiler for the films, so that is big reason 1 for not having him in the books. He would make a fine summer/fall release to have it out for xmas sales.
I expect Smaug to be coming for sure.
Couldn't agree more!! I think it will come once the DVD is released worldwide so it isn't a spoilers for anyone who didn't go to the cinema, so I would expect it at around May June sort of time imo
