Asmus Toys 1:6 - Saruman the White

[user 15061]

Picked up a Sarumon today... love it!!! Pulled a little too hard on the staff and broke it but gorilla glue saved it!!!

Nice pics! Looks like a miniature Christopher Lee in your Detolf.

Thanks bub! Even the lady is impressed by the figure. She may consider allowing me to get the Mouth Of Sauron lol.

My saruman Slim ver. Just arrived today. I am happy to say that it is just as impeccable quality as the full version, just no palantir or pedestal (which I don't have room to display anyways). So for 130 bucks I think it is a heck of a deal!

I recently redisplayed some of the shelves looking for more dynamic action...here's Saruman's (sorry Gandalf!):

Still looking to buy a previously displayed FULL version of Saruman (not Slim version), complete with Palantir from a US Seller. Haven't had any luck and it's been almost a year.

Finally bought the slim version directly from Asmus and he is missing his outer robes?!? I have sent two emails to Asmus and haven't heard anything back yet. How is their customer service?

 

[Stark Resilient]

Top Notch, actually.. Surprised you haven't heard back yet.

I just opened up my Slim Version and am a little concerned about the colours. None of the soft components (robes or hair) are properly white - the hair is a sort of off-white, and the robes are tinted brown, with brown markings around some of the edges.

Is it intended to be like this (perhaps to show battle wear or similar), or have I got a faulty item?







The pictures, frustratingly, show the colour much closer to white than they actually are.

 

[pixletwin]

It's intentional.

None of these were white in the movie...actually he should be more Saruman the Cream, see reference:

Many of us bathed the cloth with coffee and did other amenities trying to achieve that look (here's mine):

Thank you for the quick replies. I had hoped that was the case. I checked a few pictures online before posting (including in this thread) and a lot of them, including the official pictures of the toy, look like pure white whilst others look cream / beige, so I really wasn't sure.

I kinda wish he came with sculpted hair tbh. I just don't think we've reached the point where rooted hair is good enough yet. Great likeness though!

 

[eczamurai]

Maybe it's cause of the sculpted beard I dunno.

I had the same issue at first but in-hand, it won me over. This one is a work of art

 

[eczamurai]

Oh I agree, it's very well made. It's got a great sculpt, robes and accessories. If I were to get this I'd probably mod it to have either sculpted hair too or a rooted beard.

Does the Palantir actually have a light function on the regular release, or did you modify that?

 

[Manannin]

It's a standard feature. It's pretty cool!

Yep, add a couple LR44'S and you're set. To echo Manannin, It's pretty cool !

 

[TheWordWizard]

Wow, that's pretty sweet I don't know how I missed that! I think I know who my next figure purchase is going to be now. (I'm a big sucker for light features.)
