I want to see:

• The secondary base
• The new casting technique/material

Then I will be

I saw the second base today. It's not an alternate display mode, but somewhere esthetically pleasing to put your unused upper body and interchangable nameplate. Looked great to me. Makes me wish the Gandalf PF had something like it to hold the Exclusive head.

So what you're trying to say is... it's really small....

For its purpose, it's quite substantial actually.

Have SS given any indication when the second base will be previewed?

Figured it wouldn't be an alternate display per se, but that it would turn the unused torso into a bust of sorts.

Close?

Exactly!

I don't know what the plan is to show the second base. Heck, I didn't even know about until I saw it there.

Why all the secrecy about the second base? I don't get this sideshow strategy.

They gotta keep us talking about something...

I don't think it's a strategy as much as something they may have thought of after the main piece was already done. They probably looked at it, and somebody said, "you know, it's a shame there isn't some way to display both alternate parts so that people can get the most out of their exclusives." The later piece may not have been done in time for the original photos. And they've got a zillion things going at one time, so it may not be high priority to put up all new pics.

And, it does give us something to keep talking about...

Trust me though, it adds a lot to this piece. I'm really stoked they added it.

I wonder when my waitlist is going to convert?

Depends how early you got on, but at a guess processing time!

Pretty much right when the waitlist option went up so I'm pretty confident it will convert.

Would this be in scale with the 1/6 figures?

Re: Gollum PF available NOW!, Link to buy in 1st post...

No. 1/4 scale.

with the new NRD i'm curious as well to see if my WL will convert for this and if so i wonder if it's because someone actually cancelled or if ssc just happened to keep a handful back.

i would like to know, but of course we'll never find out.

Re: Gollum PF available NOW!, Link to buy in 1st post...

Someone is BOUND to cancel. Stuff happens where completing payment just won't and can't happen. It's life.

I purposely waited until the item sold out to order. No immediate NRD and I was pretty confident it would eventually convert. When it sold out it went to checking inventory and I got on the waitlist within minutes of it becoming available, before they even posted on the spook page that the waitlist was up. I have to be one of the first to be on the waitlist so it will be interesting to see what happens. I will be more shocked if it doesn't covert than if it does.

It's ok, if it doesn't convert, no problem, I just won't get it.
