A humble ferryman and father to three children, Bard’s grim demeanour and modest lifestyle hide a noble heritage, for Bard is descended in direct line from Girion Lord of Dale that was in the time before the Dragon’s coming, generations past.

When Thorin and his Company come to Lake-town, sodden and needy, Bard is persuaded to take in the Dwarves and assist them until the true object of their quest is revealed. Speaking against Thorin, Bard councils the people of Lake-town not to permit the Dwarves to return to the Mountain and risk unleashing the wrath of the Dragon Smaug.

The ferryman’s words are trampled beneath promises of flowing gold, for Lake-town is wretchedly poor, and hope, once kindled, quickly takes hold and sweeps the crowd like wildfire.

Arrested, he is imprisoned as a trouble-maker by the Master of the town, but when his warnings prove prophetic and the Dragon falls from the sky to blanket Lake-town in a vengeful firestorm, Bard breaks free and mounts a desperate, one man defence. Leaping across the faltering rooftops and dancing between the flames he sends arrow after arrow at the beast as his family and the people of Lake-town are consumed or flee.

Our authentic prop replicas and collectibles are designed by the very same artists who have worked on the three films, so effectively they come straight from Middle-earth.

  5. The Dragon Slayer
    Its not just ok...Its just perfect. The pose is great and its amazing how he is standing only on one foot. Love all the detail on the roof, The Base is one of the best i own personally. Face is spot on :) It had some tiny issues with the paint job but nothing noticeable and nothing Weta did not fix . Weta is the greatest at aftersales

  7. Incredible
    As Thranduil was sold out, he was replaced by Bard. Although no one can replace the fabolous Thranduil, I wasn't disappointed whatsoever. Great details (especially in the clothes and face), good flexible accessories (which it good for me, otherwise it wouldn't have fitted in my book shelve), and the pose is brilliant. I was worried it would tip over, but it's surprisingly stable. It was my first huge statue and I was not let down.

  8. It's Just OK
    I collect Sideshow statues and I can't help but compare this from the statues I bought from Sideshow. For the price I think it needs a little improvement, when I set it side by side to my Sideshow collections it sort of come as second place. I'd love to give it 5 stars but it just isn't there for me. Oh I'm not disappointed at all, I'm just not impressed that's all.

  9. Requires painting after receiving
    If you do not mind small no paint flaws or chips at the base of the statue then this is. 5 star because design is great. If these flaws bug you then the companies recommendation is to paint it, since it is acceptable variance in their quality control. Thus 2 stars for great design but -3 for home paint project.

  10. The first
    I just received my Bard, it is my first weta collectable BUT CERTAINLY NOT MY LAST! It was carefully packaged and the detail is better than I expected. It is a MUST HAVE collector item. The pose is just amazing.

    Wish they had one for Legolas.

  12. Unique
    I really enjoy this piece. There's something that's so different about the pose that makes it both dynamic and beautiful. It took a little bit to put his foot in the base, but it is very secure (which was a worry but not now). Once I figured out how I want to pose it on the shelf, it looks absolutely stunning. Another masterpiece!

  15. FANTASTIC!
    The pose and all the details are mind-blowing when you receive this piece! I have purchased several and luckily won a Tauriel on Ebay, but Bard is by far the most challenging and specular in it's shape and form! It feels like Bard is right in the room. Way to go WETA! The only thing to note is that you have to put foot/post into the support hole and move it around a bit until Bard is perched securely, but once it is done he is secure!

  16. Amazing details
    As with all Weta products I immediately in love with it from the moment I unpacked it.
    There's something about it that keeps me totally enthralled. If it's the details or Bard's pose I really cannot say.
    If there's one tiny thing I do regret, it's that (as with all numbered orders) there's no real certificate. So if you want to keep the personal number of your own statue, you have to keep the outer card box which has nothing else interesting on it.

  17. Very impressed!
    I received my Bard the Bowman statue in the mail today. It comes in 4 parts, the base with the rooftop, bard himself, a hand attached to his bow and an arrow.
    The statue seems to defy gravity with its dynamic pose, it is very striking sitting on the shelf.
    The detailing in the fabrics and Bards face are incredible, everything feels very organic with the textures and folds.
    The pose is the most striking thing about this figure, it really feels as though he is going to leap off at any moment and fire that arrow.
    Very pleased with this figure.
