Anyone find any good techniques for getting the bend in the hat without stitching or sewing?

 

[greedo737]

Great question. I've tried match sticks and tin foil but haven't had any luck.

Foil worked good for me

A few nits to pick, but overall the new Gandalf is a great addition to the Asmus LOTR collection.

Took me ages to futz that damn outer cloak and try to get it to drape nicely over the arms etc. I just dont have the skill of futzers like SithThundercracker above! Overall, it looks decent enough, but I'll try again with more water spray on the cloak to soften it up.

I'll give it another shot. Thanks!

 

[Thainitty]

No problem greedo...hope it works for you

Here's my look at the Gandalf figure. Overall another nice addition to the LOTR line by Asmus.

This is my biggest fear about ordering...I keep seeing people need to futz with these figures and I am not someone who knows how to futz. I enjoy collecting...not working on collectables, I'd be afraid of screwing up a $200 figure.

^Great pictures! October can't be here soon enough.

Outstanding pics SithThundercracker!!

Those pictures are amazing. Nice work!

Thanks guys!

I thought the same. Unfortunately snow is not super common down here (at least recently) and moreover I highly doubt I will be able to display a full fellowship in the next 6 months.

Except for the hat (and that was just a single stitching) this figure needs no mod to look neat. You don't need extreme efforts to obtain some decent folds on the cape (I did with no water treatment): just extend the arms outwards fully deploing the cape over them, fold the cape over itself 2-3 times until you have the hands fully exposed, bend the arms to your favourite pose, pull the sides of the cape down as much as you can to slender the figure.

I'm not even gonna pose him with the hat or the outer garment , or his pipe . He's getting his sword and magic staff in hand ready for battle against the Balrog.

Can't wait to get this !

Got my Asmus Gandalf on Friday. Overall I'm really happy with him but I do have a few issues that disappointed me a bit. After getting their Aragorn with the solid weighty base, this plastic base was a bit of a let down. The sheath straps I had to pull apart and reglue tighter to hold the sheath. I would also love a more angry/gritting teeth sculpt. I know that may be a bit scene specific, but I feel it would be great for battle poses and of course the iconic scene where he battles the Balrog!
