Hmmm... OK... So definitely from the first batch.
Maybe they are taking their time checking the hat and eyes issues?
I hope so. If so, then I'm no longer in a rush to get in on the first batch but would rather wait to get the best one possible...

My order is June 22 2019. Their email to me before Chinese New Year was that they will invoice after Feb 17 and ship out by end of Feb. I didn't get any invoice but saw their FB response. Hopefully they are taking their time to see if they can fix the hat and eyes issue. I've been waiting for a while so I don't mind waiting another month or two if they can fix the issues.
I could potentially see them maaaybe doing something about replacing the hat with the remaining pre-orders, but the eyes seem like they would take a lot more technical engineering. That's probably a stretch. Also, nobody thinks the hat looks good and people seem pretty split on the eyes.
Who?d?a thunk that stitching a piece of fabric directly across the opening of a hat would prevent it from sliding naturally onto a head... Come on Asmus.
I guess it?s actually a good idea in principle- in order to protect the hair when removing the hat- but the execution was just poor. GTG has to be displayed wearing a hat for me so it?s be great if Asmus jump on this issue immediately to remedy it. This first Crown figure really needs to be superlative and without error if they intend to continue a range of $300+ figures. They don?t want the legacy of Gandalf to be beady, sunken eyes and an unusable hat.
I?d personally like to see someone slick his hair down a bit. It?s all way to dry and fluffy looking out of the box for my taste. GtG is a weathered, greasy, unwashed hobo of a man- not quite as bad as Radagast but still in need of some added grime.
Weird, I thought I was going to get my Gandalf today. When I didn't, I checked tracking and saw that it was available for pickup at my post office. They received it in plenty of time early this morning to give to the carrier and they didn't even attempt delivery. I know this because my carrier comes at 1pm and it was available for pickup at 9am. I understand I might have to sign for it and it would have ended up being the same result anyway, but it is their job to DELIVER stuff.
after tracking just stopped, showing no progress for 10 days, mine was left on my front porch today!!!
I think it looks brilliant- thank you Asmus
I am getting jealous. Anybody else order in June 2019 still waiting for those invoices? I figured I would have mine by now. The new year celebration is over, correct?
