Thanks for this as it made me check my paypal account and there it was - the invoice. Paid and now waiting on mine to arrive as well. Thumbs up, @Asmus !

Just imagine Asmus being that quick to deliver:

@Asmus I’ve been trying to contact you via email. How do I order the new hat for my Crown Series Gandalf? Thank you.

@Asmus I’ve been trying to contact you via email. How do I order the new hat for my Crown Series Gandalf? Thank you.

I just emailed them at [email protected] stating I would like to buy the hat along with my address information and that I agree on the shipping costs involved. Note, that it took like a month to get this arranged - from the start of the communication to getting the invoice and the tracking number.
But I am getting it this Friday

My hat already showed up today - paid on Sunday, shipped on Tuesday, and arrived in the Netherlands on Thursday!
I might still do some slight mods to make it fit better, but it already looks great on him. I did immediately take out the magnet as it's quite unnecessary IMO.
Some quick (crappy cellphone) pics on display, and comparing the hat to my modded V1.

Love that pic of Gandalf with his new hat on. If I may ask are those model rocks, possibly from an aquarium. They look great!

The new hat just arrived today and took about two days to arrive! It's great. Thank you Asmus!

Here's a quick cellphone picture - i played with the contrast a bit but i didn't futz with the figure much (as you can tell!) I used the G1 hobbit staff for the crown Gandalf.

Nice. I'm glad you guys got your hat. I've emailed and messaged them here three times. No answer.

Well, I am still waiting on mine, but not due to Asmus' fault. Darn FedEx had to bork my weekend sniffing the enjoyment out of it. Some "operational delay" and there have been no tracking updates since Friday 09:08AM (CEST). So that makes it over 48h with no updates on their end. Maybe I will get it next week. My bet is FedEx went El Cheapo during Covid and now lack personnel (yes, they have lame excuse on their site which I dont believe is the actual truth)

I have 2 packages from FedEx that I picked up July 7 and it still shows them as not being delivered or picked up. They are definitely having issues.

Got it at last today. For comparison ....

And new one

@Asmus thank you for providing this to all of us who got the Crown GtG. Hats off to you (lil pun, intended, yes)

 

[Sixth Scale Man]

Speaking of hats....

 

[spaceghost2000]

Anyone have any luck contacting Asmus? I asked if the invoice for Gandalf was coming soon, they said they sent it a long time ago but would send it again, nothing’s arrived for a couple of weeks.
Is it worth just losing the deposit and ordering elsewhere?

 

[satanatos]

Just had to post two more pics (one with filters) to showcase how amazing I find the figure and the new hat.

 

[deathsaurus]

This figure is incredible, you just need to lose your fear and dare to manipulate the hair, the new hat helps a lot by the way

Head sale when?

 

[MrASDF]

Head sale when?

Sorry for being out of the loop. Is this a new head altogether or an updated one?
