Eyes don't look nearly as bad in these new pictures. Slightly recessed but it's not nearly as bad as people were making it out to be on the promo photos that were out last week.
My only concern is the hair. It looks great, but it shouldn't all blend together as one like that. In the films, the beard is distinctly separate from the rest of his hair. Has anyone figured if that's something that can be addressed with futzing yet?

I have a custom Moria Base I've been using for my Frodo, but I think Ill be giving it to Gandalf here. Gandalfs base will go to Bilbo.
Really can't wait to get this. And speaking of which my Tracking for mine has not updated since its initial scan on the 8th....

Arguably his legs might be a little longer perhaps to give an illusion of greater height. He seems tallest in the movie but he?s actually same height as Vigo Mortensen and Orlando Bloom. The hat of course helps create that perception, but even in scenes not wearing the wizard hat he looks tallest among them. At any rate, Ian McKellan is 5? 11??. And honestly the figure matches what I see here irl for the actor:

It?s always strange that book Gandalf is 5?6? yet he?s one of the taller members of Fellowship in the film.
It doesn't seem to affect the other figures there.
I too was thinking of giving the Gandalf base to Bilbo.
The figure looks great in these new pics. I pre-ordered back in the morning of June 26, 2019, the third age. Still no word from Asmus...
I just bought Asmus Bilbo just for that express purpose. :
I will admit that I hope Asmus provides us with an Ian Holm rendition, as he will match up perfectly with the sign on the gate.
Does the mustache look this patchy in-hand?
Nah, you have to remember that is a brightly lit closeup. The mustache is actually tiny on the figure. Your brain is taking in an overall impression and other details leap out as more prominent.
I hate it when my brain does that.
That's good, because the pic looks like glued on straw.
