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

[RyanGabriel]

How come Legolas is being release first than Gandalf. Legolas is on June and Gandalf on July?

 

[The Josh]

Don't know. First I've seen them have actual months listed with them.

So we're positively certain of the 7.5 scoring?

 

[The Josh]

Yes, you douche.

 

[Eli26]

Yes, you douche.

Sound a sleep, because mother told me to.

I just checked out the GTG MQ Ex page and it's moved from 20 available (as of last night) to approx. 12. It appears that the Gimli reveal has knocked a few off of the fence!

Back up to 30 now, talk about a yo-yo. Gimli may have worked in reverse, forcing some people to decide which side of the fence to sit on and they went for Gimli, given that Gandalf doesn't have a NRD, making it much easier to cancel.

I agree. I'm sure it will bounce back and forth until this ships.

From the masthead:

The wind blown cape looks really good now ...doesn't it?

I just realized there's actually a balrog in the fiery background.

Totally disagree about Gandalf, that's one of the few likenesses I think Weta actually did pretty well.

In regards to Legolas, I think you owe Orlando Bloom's stand in an apology, the likeness is uncanny.

Maybe I should kill two birds with one stone and apologize to Ian Mckellan's stand-in while I'm at it.

Or maybe people have figured out they can get the SSW version for under $27..... It's back up to 20 available this morning.

That's super blown up, from normal viewing it looks ok.

Although I love the new Gimli and Aragorn, I'm not overly fond of Legolas and Gandalf based on the poses.

I can't disagree with you....the further back you view it, the better it looks......

I can't say I'm a huge fan of the reg. edition Gandalf pose [though I really like the excl. pose], but the excellent likeness and great looking base more than offset that.

Personally though, I think the Legolas pose looks great, very natural looking and a pose more than fitting considering it's based on the battle of Helm's Deep.

This is not really surprising. The Legolas and Gandalf maquettes were completed around the same time. Gandalf went up for pre-order in July of 2010 and Legolas was supposed to go up one month later. SS, for some reason, held Legolas back until Jan. 2011 but prod. in China started well before Legolas went up for pre-order.

 

[DinoDB1975]

Wow, first I heard of this. Gives me an extra month to decide whether to keep Gandalf.

That's strange, i love Aragorn and Legolas, but not so much the other 2.

The SSW GTG is great, don't knock it! Even if it's not 100% Ian McKellen, he posed for the actual sculptor and it has more of a GTG 'essence'.
The maquette looks like the actor but i don't like the too clean robes, the superman cape, and the hat doesn't look right either. On the PF, it's perfect

Maybe something wasn't coming out right in production and they had to tweek it. Maybe QC is on the ball?

Only 5 left of the EX!

Nice! I really think GTG is gonna surprise some folks with how nice it will look in person. I loved it at Comic-Con.
