To be loved is to be vulnerable—so Minthe chooses fear instead. Sharp-tongued, fiercely independent, and always on the defensive, this river nymph has fought to claim her place in the Underworld, though she belongs to the world above. She has learned the hard way that affection is fleeting, but power endures. Yet beneath the thorny exterior lies something raw, something aching, something almost… human.
The firecracker of the Underworld, captured in exquisite detail! We're bringing Minthe to life in three dimensions, her sharp-edged confidence and simmering resentment sculpted into every line. From her slick outfit to the haughty tilt of her chin, this vinyl figure embodies the nymph we love to loathe—and can’t help but understand.
Collectors and Lore Olympus fans alike will revel in the depth of Minthe’s character, translated flawlessly from Rachel Smythe’s 2D world into a figure that commands attention. Will she storm into your collection… or will you have to earn her favour first?
FEATURES:
- Features Minthe, clad in her classic attire;
- Expert techniques in both sculpting and paint application bring the iconic style of Lore Olympus to life;
- Made in collaboration with Lore Olympus creator, Rachel Smythe;
- Digitally sculpted by Wētā Workshop 3D artist Daniel Holland.
It’s so fun to see how other people see the characters, it’s a really fascinating thing to witness, and then to provide feedback, and seeing how those two viewpoints meet.

WĒTĀ WORKSHOP AND LORE OLYMPUS
For over 30 years, Wētā Workshop has been bringing imaginary worlds to life, from film and television to art exhibits and collectibles, all from a little place in the corner of the world called New Zealand.
So, when we heard about a fellow New Zealand artist making a splash on the international stage by crafting her own imaginary world, we couldn’t wait to reach out and join forces. Rachel Smythe’s webtoon Lore Olympus has captivated viewers from all over the globe, resonating deeply with its explorations of relationships, ideals, and social hierarchies.
That’s why we are supremely honoured to be part of the journey, helping to bring these memorable characters and moments off the page and onto your shelves.
