Asmus Toys : Gandalf the Grey

[cmiller99]

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

Speculation, but it hasn't been substantiated by anyone who would know.

He's on their site for pre-order....

Yep. He's been up for pre-order since early spring.

I'm still on the originals bandwagon too. Doesn't make any since they swapped it.

New picture on Facebook! Looks like we can attach the base to a wall for a hanging or "shelf-ish" type display.

 

[Lejuan]

Looks like Gandalf was dragged face-down through the mud by his hair.

 

[CanadianBrandon]

I take it that's the "interactive" part of the display they were teasing. Personally I think it looks weird but I simply won't use it so problem solved. I guess someone else might think it's cool.

That beard looks so odd, there's just this long solid brick hanging off his face. Not sure how one would do it better though.

Everything else looks good.
I'd love to see a shot with him wearing his hat.

I hope it actually does come with a wall mount,that would be really cool for display. I think this guy definitely need to have his hat on.

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

Yeah, that's looking like what they mean by "interactive." It's fine. It wouldn't work for my display, but I hope there are folks who can enjoy it. (I was personally hoping for a sound chip like the ToyBiz figure, but I suppose I can always dig the base for that figure out of storage and push the button anytime I want!)

Hopefully they address the beard/hair color issue before he starts shipping. I'm also hoping they weather the hell out of his outfit.

Thranduil is looking pretty nice there ...

 

[Stark Resilient]

Nice looking Thranduil down there.

 

[Wor-Gar]

No light-up.... oh well. I guess the "surprise" was that it can hang on the wall. Not sure I'm surprised by that. I expected that.

I am surprised by the Thranduil.

Wonder what the figure is behind Gandalf? Wonder if it is a statue or a hint of another figure?

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

I believe that's the Sideshow 1/6 scale Gimli statue behind Gandalf.

I believe that's the Sideshow 1/6 scale Gimli statue behind Gandalf.

Bummer, thanks.

What are we looking a here? A prototype?

New to the this thread as I am considering getting this figure. I collect mostly Star Wars and Marvel when it comes to 1/6 figures, but a Gandalf figure would be great to go with my shelf with my Tolkien books and movies. Because I have other high quality figures in my office I would like a Gandalf figure to be able to hold its own with the others. The pictures of the pro-type on the Sideshow page (like the one below) look awesome. But I would love to know what it actually will look like. The real hair makes me nervous, not that I am against the idea in principle, but it needs to be done well and I do worry about it looking disconnected and to different from the beard. But it does look good on the pics where you can order it from Sideshow.

 

[hoodonit00]

Guess you better not get it then.

 

[PG1973]

The paint on the beard should improve.
