But now, things have changed. Get this: If you order one of the last remaining figures (remember, these were each limited to only 1000 pieces), you'll automatically be entered in a contest to have your own head sculpted on a custom Templar statue by one of Weta's master sculptors. Once again, YOUR OWN HEAD ON A WETA FIGURE!

This could be you... literally.

My real face doesn't even look this good.

Not only that, but the winner will also have his name put into the game on a character in a future update. That makes two ways to be immortalized forever!

Before you ask, yes, everyone who already ordered a figure is automatically put into the contest. Seeing as how there can only be 4000 entries total in the world (actually less since people bought multiple statues), chances of winning are really, really good. You can't find a better contest than this.

Check the full press release below.

To celebrate the release of PC game Hellgate: London, Weta Limited and Flagship Studios are offering fans a very special opportunity to become a part of the game’s legacy: to win a custom made statue of their head on a Templar Knight from the Weta Collectibles range!

And, as well as receiving the unique collectible, the winner will also have their name rendered on an in-game character in a future version of the actual game, Hellgate: London, courtesy of Flagship Studios.

When anyone orders a piece from the Hellgate: London line of Weta Collectibles from www.wetanz.com, they automatically enter the draw.

The Weta Collectible range features four statues, featuring The Hunter, The Cabalist and both the Male and Female Templar knights. Each piece is hand crafted by the multi- Academy Award® winning team at Weta Workshop, and is part of a limited edition range of 1,000 pieces of each statue, worldwide.

The collectible is not only hand crafted by the technicians at the world-class visual effects company itself, but is also signed by Richard Taylor, head of Weta Limited.

Pre-orders are now open, so with only limited numbers available (1,000 of each of the four figures) the odds are winning are really good. Customers who have already ordered from the Hellgate: London range via www.wetanz.com will automatically be entered into the draw.

Entries will be drawn in March 2008 and winners will be notified by email. Fans can also enter by emailing info@wetanz.co.nz with their name, country and age.
