Asmus - Gandalf the White - Crown Line

[Xman1990]

 

[Sixth Scale Man]

Its not moaning to call a spade a spade - the hair is messy in ALL the pics shared so far and in all the pics Asmus has shared specifically the white cloak covers up the entire figure to the point you cant see any details.
In fact the entire second half of my post was pointing out an instance where the figure looks much nicer and addresses the over-tanned complaints many people had about Asmus' image as well.

So should I NOT point out how Asmus can better show off a figure that I have repeatedly called very nice from what we can see?
Or should we all merely imitate clapping seals and praise all we see without critique or comment?

Yep. The SDCC display was pretty shabby - most of the display podiums seemed rushed actually.
I agree that some better pics from Asmus would do wonders and we are starting to see those come through.
I didn’t think you were slamming the actual figure but the lack of care in its presentation.
I reckon most of us know that some TLC out of the box makes these figures shine.

Most of the Hot Toys at SDCC had bad poses too so it's not just GtW.

Definitely what I noticed. Those Stranger Things figs looked so sad

If Guy Klender was the one doing the posing then he could have had all the time in world and they'd have still looked like that. I know Terry Smith was there but the way the figures were posed didn't feel very Terry.

Weren’t the figures posed by Sideshow staff? So it’s no wonder they fully covered Gandalf with his robe; they’re used to having to hide their own shabby figures from accurate judgement.

The green does kind of make it look like it’s glowing.

just thought I'd put it up cause the threads in here have gone quiet of late from Asmus.
I miss their interactions.

What's with all these random off topic posts? I see this topic got bumped and I thought it would be news of preorder but instead it's discussion about bugs

Not a “ bug” per se….

 

[RandomHero]

I love these threads when people just run with the nonsense lol

 

[Sixth Scale Man]

It’s up to Asmus to put a stop to these shenanigans! Appease your collectors! Updates please!
