Statue Gandalf the Grey Maquette - Order NOW, Link in 1st post!.

[Till Foxburr]

I had the SS/W GTG at one time, and I liked it. I prefer the pose on the SS/W version, but the likeness on this new one is better, IMO.

Of the two, I prefer the new one.

I 100% agree!

 

[FrodoEyes]

No, i still prefer the SSW one. More detail and more of a 'GTG' pose and overall feel to it.
I do like the likeness on the maquette more, but i'm still fighting with myself over whether that's a good enough reason to pay near PF prices for the whole of the statue, what with everything else Middle-Earth related that's coming soon.

I think both have their positives and negatives. I like the pose and sculpting detail [costuming] of the Weta statue and I prefer the likeness, base, and alternate display options of the SS maquette. But since my #1 criteria when purchasing movie-related collectibles is likeness, if forced to choose between the two it would be the maquette.

I guess I'm the only one who hasn't been lured by the siren song. I really wanted to like this maquette. I really tried. Went to SDCC with an open mind (actually, leaning toward getting it) to giving it a look-see. It broke my heart that I couldn't like it enough to pull the trigger. But I have no regrets. I have enough Gandy/Grey representations in my collection so I won't miss this version.

I sure hope you don't regret that decision in the future Wetanut.

Just look at this picture and think long and hard my friend.

Thanks for the nudge. But nope. No regrets. (never regretted not pulling the trigger on the Daddy Rog in its day either).

That picture has caused all sorts of financial dilemmas!

Man!...I would kill for a Daddy Rog Wetanut.

Each to their own I guess.

Unfortunaetly alot of people missed out on that one. An eventual SS Balrog maquette may, or may not, be on par with the Weta version, but it will be alot cheaper to acquire and should be a worthy substitute.

Oh man, how true is this statement...!

Sideshow has yet to reveal its deadliest statue, one that will lead Sideshow's attack on our finances, the one they say no living collector can resist: THE RINGWRAITH ON STEED PF!

Congrats DH, there no better time to get onboard the maquette line than from the very beginning.
