InArt: The Lord of the Rings - Gandalf 1:6

[BANE.]

Not impressed with the likeness. I prefer the Asmus one.

Go get your eyes checked.... ASAP.

Looks really really good but I have a feeling that it may be too rich for me buying from the UK retailers, once all the VAT etc has been added on. Will wait and see what the price is first...might just pass on GTG and wait and see what their Aragorn looks like and get that instead as I’m quite happy with my Asmus Gandalf.

Don’t buy from UK retailers then

Looks great. But I’d rather put $500 towards a statue than a sixth scale figure. Just too expensive for me, for what it is.

22 hours from now

No more 3 days window, preorder will be opened for one month

Awesome! Thanks. Good to know it’s not a mad rush to order. Still I will probably place mine the first day. I typically get my stuff from you unless I get it straight from the manufacturer.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Insane! I need to devour the pictures more.

One thing, does Gandalf's bag have a braided strap like his belt? No, right?

 

[Wor-Gar]

Not sure if he changes bags along the way but the braided strap is wrong...


Anyway, here's a comparison...

Imagining Gandalf and Indiana Jones comparing notes/preferences on their shoulder bags.

 

[Wor-Gar]

It's a small thing, but at this level...

Figure looks great though overall. The face is incredible.

It looks like the bag was braided but it’s not in the pic you posted.

 

[Wor-Gar]

OK, I thought maybe he had two bags... no which was in the movie?

Maybe that's his "visit with Frodo" bag... and the other is his simple travel bag?

Looking at a few references seems to show that the shoulder bag strap is also braided but a bit thinner. It’s hard to make out in a lot of cases but it does look to lean towards it in some cases. Might a case of there being two bags or straps.

Just looking at a few pics and looks like the braided one was in the movie.
Maybe the other is costume design phase?

And not to sound like a broken record on here but hope they change his hat colour to be more accurate

Still not totally sold on the likeness, but I'm really tempted to order anyway just for the insane level of detail throughout this figure. And also for the chance to actually display Gandalf with his iconic hat on.

I also like how Inart has the pleats going straight down in front like it should be. Asmus has theirs more at an angle for some reason, which annoys the hell out of me every time I look at that figure.

You forgot to include Jack Bauer in that conversation…

May 18, 20:00 Asia Time, exactly 1230 minutes later, you can start to count now

I have been staring at these pictures for a while now.


I’m excited and scared at the same time. PLEAAAAAASE don’t screw it up IA.

It'll be interesting to see how the final product compares to Viper's Gandalf the White limited run custom, keeping in mind it will be a mass produced piece this time, I really wonder how many people will pay $500 for Gandalf given he's not as popular as Heath's Joker, a low production run could be beneficial in this case.

Asmus’ GTG sold really well. I’m positive this will too. LOTR is pretty popular in China.

Pretty sure Asmus still haven't been able to fulfill all the orders for theirs yet too.

Jeez...I just don’t understand that. I’m sure the pandemic didn’t help matters.
