Asmus Toys Lord of the Ring Gandalf Gray

It is also why we hold back the sell of the head for now, but once it starts (selling the head), we will make sure a hat and a pair of eyeball are included in the package.

That sounds cool. I just hope it will be in the next few weeks/month and not next year...But it does sound awesome. I so wanna upgrade my old Gandalf...

I bought a Crown Gandalf but I also held onto my Gandalf 1.0 with the hopes to upgrade him so I am definitely in for buying the head (and whatever comes with it).

 

[Galacticat]

Oh awesome! So, sorry if I am being thick- but my Bilbo who is already coming (even if ordered through Sideshow) - will automatically come with the new Gandalf hat?

My Gandalf would love to see

In the meantime, I might just cut this middle part out of the hat and remove the magnet. I actually think the magnet was a good idea- since if placed perfectly, it could hold on the hat at a good angle. But I think the factory might have misplaced it, because as is, it basically forces the hat to be held in an awkward position.

I've mentioned before- but I do love his hair/beard. I wish they all had rooted hair.

That’s exciting news.
I preorder bilbo first week.

 

[Sixth Scale Man]

Wonderful news and a good initial solve for the hat issue. Good to see Asmus stepping up. I really appreciate it.

 

[Chopper Face]

Well, look at that. I don’t even have to worry about if I want to pick up an improved hat; it’ll just be there when Bilbo shows up.

All Bilbo’s initially come from Asmus and the GTG hat is now part of the package so, yes, regardless of where you purchased, a hat will be included.

Great move by Asmus with the hat!

 

[PersonOfTheYear]

But I don't really want to get Bilbo...he's just too angry

 

[hoodonit00]

I’ll put my two cents in. I sure hope there is another way to get hat and eyes because I’m not planning on getting Bilbo

[Asmus]

More plan will come later,

we will be giving out 1500 pc for just Bilbo's order/

So forgive us if we cannot offer more at this time.

 

[Godfather1408]

This is some serious BS, I'd buy another head if price was good but regarding hat.

Why can't they charge shipping and let us have the hat given it was their error, I don't see why we should spend mo ey to fix their QC. Shipping I'd be OK with but their saying it's to expensive.

Can I please just pay you like $30 plus shipping for the hat and eyeballs?

[RandomHero]

That’s brutal.

 

[Tolkien Nerd]

Thanks Asmus for doing this. As I have ordered Bilbo I am very happy and I think this is a good solution. However I do understand the concerns of some other collectors voiced here.

Why not just give the option for buyers to pay for shipping to get the hat?

So people who order Bilbo but don’t even own Gandalf himself will have the better hat still? Weird..

 

[Mike86]

Bilbo will be my first Lord of the Rings character. Guess Asmus is giving me the extra push to buy Gandalf.
