Asmus - 1/6 Gollum/Smeagol

[cbulas1]

Maybe it's been like this for a few days, but I just noticed that Sideshow is listed this as expecting to ship from "Feb 2023 - Apr 2023." That's quite a delay from November 2022!

It hasn't been discussed in some time so I have forgotten, but is this one of the figures Asmus confirmed will include the improved Gandalf the Grey hats?

From what I understood, yes this would be included in the set of orders that would include the hat.

@Asmus Is Gollum/Smeagol going to be the last figure of 2022 or the first figure of 2023?

My wallet sure hopes it’s 2023.

 

[Asmus]

Will be 2023, hopefully January.

Will be 2023, hopefully January.

Good. Could you give us some info on why the figure is being delayed? Was there some Head Sculpt or Body issue?

My wallet thanks you! Definitely need the time for the hobby budget recover.

You jinxed it!

Production Gollum?

Frodo’s reaction seems appropriate…

 

[superdoug]

Can’t wait to see what Asmus does for 2023. Really looking forward to the 2.0 (or is it now 3.0) hobbits.

Not too bad, but need more close-up pics. Especially of the eyes.

He seems awfully tanned for someone that has shunned sunlight for 500 years...

You forgot he was walking for quite some time topless with hobbitses.

Yeah, the first thing I noticed was the very healthy skin tone.

I don’t recall seeing these pics posted.

Oh, I like the stylized graphics on the box.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Classy.

What about the 2-pack?

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

I would bet the two-pack will just be a bown shipper containing those two boxed figures plus the rock accessory in it's own plain (non-art) box. They might surprise me though.
