Asmus Toys Lord of the Ring Gandalf Gray

[Asmus]

Yes, if it is bentor twisted, just dip it in hot water for 1 mint will do,
it will be so soft and you can bent it back in the right shape,
leave it cool down in the right shape and it will stay in it.

Anticipating the flood of complaints from people who “don’t want to modify their hat” by dunking it in 3 … 2 … 1 …

To be followed by complaints from people who, after a couple of orders: "I have too many hats!"

 

[BACON!]

I thought there was a dedicated thread to Gandalf Crown line, but I could not find the thread. Anyway, I received the replacement hat and here are some pics. Original on the left and new on the right. My original hat had had a misaligned magnet and never was able to sit properly, so even if this is a plastic hat, I like it more. It also has a magnet. I believe I said earlier that I will probably never display him with the hat as his hair is so amazing, but one never knows

Looks way better. I am still waiting on my invoice so I can pay and get it shipped to me. Seeing how few of us already got it, I wonder if I am not forgotten

Me too!! I believe they received them in their bilbo PO ?
On a side note: the hat looks like it has a blue tint in pictures.

 

[BACON!]

no, I was being lazy and didn't color correct the photo. In reality, the hat is dark grey

 

[agonistes86]

The hat turned out great!
I'm also waiting for my invoice from Asmus to have it shipped directly to me.

 

[WolfBoy]

Hat looks much better.

 

[davejames]

Yeah new hat looks really good. Hope I'll be able to get one someday.

 

[optical20]

I can't wait to get that hat. I just got this Gandalf and I am really impressed

 

[Sixth Scale Man]

Looks great!^ Did you mod the eyes or is that some image tweaking? They look lighter.
Anyway, nice work. Definitely feels like he’s in Moria

 

[BagginsOfBagEnd]

^ ^ Great pic!

I think some people just take really crappy pictures. I look at that and think InArt who? Really great photos.

That happens a lot. That's also why I don't really post pics I know any pics I post will immediately make almost any figure look bad.

In terms of InArt vs Asmus: I don't think anyone can go wrong with either.

To be fair I guess we will have to wait to see the InArt one in hand. I’m just amazed that the Asmus one is 150 bucks cheaper and looks that good.

Thank you , no modding or tweaking, I noticed the eyes is so shinny when the light is in front of him so I have to reposition the light where it would not reflect on his eyes.

Ok, people are just contacting Asmus for a new hat and buying one, yes? Just wondering because I've emailed them twice and messaged them here and FB with no response.

Seems hit and miss with Asmus. I gave up emailing them over that bonus sword from the Nazgûl Rider set years back.

 

[optical20]

Who needs Inart lol. Kidding aside this is a really good figure.

Thanks for the great review @optical20. Always enjoyed your LotR review videos.

Yes, Inart has yet to prove their mass production piece to be better than this.
