Radiant, regal, and utterly exhausting. Draped in thunder and self-assurance, Zeus fills every room like a storm about to break. His lightning may command the skies, but it’s his ego that truly crackles, always in need of worship, applause, or at least a knowing laugh at his latest joke. Yet for all his swagger and scandal, deep within lies a paranoid awareness that his crown rests on shaky ground. Like father, like son.
The King of Olympus commands attention in this striking collectible. Sculpted with precision and presence, Zeus radiates a confidence and bravado achievable only by someone who unironically believes their own hype. Every element, from the tousled hair alive with energy to the blatant arrogance of his stance, translates his storm-born charisma into tangible form.
Pulling inspiration straight form the page, our artists highlight the contradictions that make him so magnetic. His tailored power and restless energy are rendered in extraordinary detail, reflecting both his might and his flaws.
FEATURES:
- Features Zeus, clad in here classic casual 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.
