Asmus Toys : Gandalf the Grey

Guess these haven't been posted yet. From the Asmus FB page.

happy to see these posted again

This isn't so much a complaint as it is an observation.

The height of Gandalf on the moria bridge stand will make him too tall to fit in a detolf. Is that correct? I assume detolfs are the most popular way of displaying 1/6 figures, it's what I use and I see most others using.

The great thing is because it's not a statue you can just use the other base, but damn the moria base looks amazing! Not sure what to do...

HT Spiderman 3's base was similar. Free some of your figures from the detolf

Man, I want this now!

 

[cmiller99]

Yes, sir.
All sideshow orders will be considered as Pre-order

George, do you think that there is any chance at all that the original sculpt may also be offered? Either way, this is definitely shaping up to be a must-buy.

Man, that was, like, so two pages ago.

Ordered! Had some initial reservations but Gandalf is just too essential and all-in-all this figure looks amazing.

That said, add me to the ranks interested in the prototype head sculpt. Also, now plotting how to customize that staff so it lights up. Also, a wee Gollum would look pretty sick perched on that rock base...

I cannot answer you for sure,

we really need to focus on this head's production, make sure it is in top quality,
I would say trying to think about another head may not be a good idea.

That actually looks like me when I was very little.

Yeah, the current head is top priority.

Well, I can hope for something after the fact I suppose. Thanks.

wow... thx Sierra122 ,
can't believe you beat me by it...

Amazing George! instant PO after seeing this. Cant wait to get my gandalf

Despite they changed the head sculpt (unfortunately), this looks like a real masterpiece. For the first time, Asmus seems to pay great attention to details: the tailoring is great, the fabric is excellent, the hat is gorgeous, the bonus are numerous... I have not seen Saruman in hand, but I still found him a bit weak, especially on the clothes department. This Gandalf looks awesome, and I clearly see a piece of collection and not a toy, for the first time with asmus. Huge congratulations for the work you made, and I hope the production model will look just as fine.
Of course I pre ordered.

Exactly my thoughts.

I have been following these releases since the start, and been mostly disappointed with them if im honest. But I saw Asmus say they are going all out on Gandalf and it certainly shows. Makes me excited to see future releases!

Now then, is it too early to ask about that horse n cart?

 

[hoodonit00]

Hmmm, interesting post on FB. Someone asked what makes the base interactive? Asmus responded, "yes, keep an eye on how it works". I wonder what that means?

I wonder what that means also.

 

[SithThundercracker]

A fly you fools pose is hinted so maybe the base lifts?

 

[hoodonit00]

Deleted, probably wrong.

Yea I caught that to. Hmm, the plot thickens.

 

[superdoug]

Maybe sound like the ToyBiz one? "You shall not pass!"

 

[Wor-Gar]

Most likely.

Would love if the made the staff light-up in some way.

 

[Cammo]

What are the dimensions of the Moria base?

 

[hoodonit00]

Most likely.

That was my comment that I deleted. I thought maybe his staff would set in the base somehow making the staff light up. Looking at the base though I don't see any holes or anything.

 

[Sierra122]

Batteries in the base used to power the staff, a hole for the staff which has a super bright LED....
