Asmus Toys : Gandalf the Grey

[Wor-Gar]

Throw the Saruman figure across the room.

Or do that weird spin thing on the floor.

...I hope Patrick Boivin does a stop-motion number when he gets this figure

What the heck happened to this??? Where is the ultra detailed older looking sculpt? That looked better than the new sculpt.

I don't know. A sound feature where Gandalf is saying "You shall not pass!!!"? Unless Asmus says it has light up features it is still anybody's guess.

Not gonna lie...that would tickle my fancy greatly despite it being ultimately useless. When I was younger and collected the ToyBiz Lord of the Rings line, they put out a Balrog Battle Gandalf that had a stone base which did exactly that; he was one of my favorites all around. An addition like that would definitely be a kick to a few folks.

Man, I LOVED that Toybiz figure!

And the battery lasted forever in mine. Had that on my desk for about a decade!

Sure it did.

So, seriously, why the change? People didn't like the older version? Can one still buy the older version sculpt?

 

[cmiller99]

I assume the older version you're referring to is the original sculpt posted on page 1, right?

No, it is not being offered, it seems. It is a shame as I loved that sculpt and sort of dislike this new one.

 

[The Ween]

I loved the original sculpt too, but, I guess it is what it is.

Spot on, buddy! That thing is so loud too! It's really impressive how much it projects for such a small speaker.

 

[WWEJedi]

What happens to these things? Is it too many cooks in the kitchen? I'm sorry but this Gandalf looks a little wasted...

This just in.

Is the cart going to be made?

 

[cmiller99]

[Gruff Old Bear]

Sure it did.

Nobody knows. It just changed. There's been speculation that the first sculpt may re-appear as a replacement head for Gandalf the White.

I was going to say the same thing. Really loud!
