Regal, radiant, and razor-sharp, Hera commands every room she enters, whether with a smirk or a storm. To those she loves, she is a sanctuary; to those who cross her, a reckoning. Beneath the pearls and poise lies a heart weathered by betrayal, still beating fiercely for justice, loyalty, and the dream of what could have been. She is queen, confidante, and cautionary tale, all at once (and heaven help the fool who forgets it).
Few command attention like Hera, and our artists have ensured she does exactly that, even in collectible form. This figure captures the full force of Olympus’ most formidable queen.
Hera has been lovingly sculpted in three dimensions; an elegant fusion of regality and vulnerability, just as she appears in Rachel Smythe’s Lore Olympus. A portrait of strength, sorrow, and the smouldering fire of a goddess who refuses to be forgotten.
Whether you adore her for her sharp tongue, her softer side, or the drama she carries like fine perfume, Hera is a must-have: a divine addition worthy of centre stage.
FEATURES:
- Features Hera, 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.

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.
