Vinyl Figures Lore Olympus Persephone

We’ve been crafting something truly divine in collaboration with artist and writer Rachel Smythe.An unprecedented fusion of creativity from the world of Lore Olympus that promises to be an enchanting addition to your collection and a momentous occasion for fans of Wētā Workshop and the webtoon alike.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.For a young goddess of spring, venturing into the vast, chaotic sprawl of modern Olympus is nothing short of a nerve-rattling ordeal.As she teeters through the tangled web of emotional turbulence and the labyrinthine politics that barely keep the capricious pantheon from unravelling, Persephone unexpectedly finds solace in the most improbable of places—within the enigmatic presence of Hades, the brooding King of the Underworld.But is this fleeting comfort merely a passing breath of calm, or could it be the dawn of something far more profound?We’ve poured our passion for artistry into bringing Persephone to life, transforming her from her 2D origins into a striking 3D collectible.This figure captures the goddess of spring at a pivotal moment—navigating the vast and overwhelming cityscape of Olympus, out of her element but filled with a spark of curiosity for the enigmatic Hades, whose mix of brooding intensity and unexpected dorkiness catches her off guard.Every detail, from the soft yet uncertain expression on her face to the flowing lines of her iconic design, has been meticulously sculpted to stay true to Smythe’s original vision. The figure beautifully embodies the contrast between Persephone’s innocence and the complexities of the world she’s just begun to explore.Features:Features Persephone, the morning after her serendipitous reunion with HadesExpert techniques in both sculpting and paint application bring the iconic style of Lore Olympus to lifeMade in collaboration with Lore Olympus creator, Rachel SmytheDigitally 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.”- Rachel Smythe - Writer and Illustrator, Lore OlympusAges: 14-99Country of origin: China*Please note: Images are of a pre-production prototype.
