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

[Antarion]

I might PO Gandalf. He looks good. I'm not a huge LOTR fan, but Gandalf is so iconic.

I did so a few days ago. Especially if Aragorn turns out nice, it will make a great iconic display

I did as well! I need a Gandalf in my collection. After eyeing the Asmus version for so long and then letting the InArt preorder slip away, I had to jump on this chance with Kit.

So where is going to be the best (most reliable) place to order these from, in the States?

I think SpecFiction is the only place in the US that currently puts them up for PO. But they are also one of the last places to get stock based on when they get Queen Studios pieces in. So, as long as you don't mind being months behind receiving yours, they will more than likely be you're only place unless other retailers start carrying their products. Word is Timewalker Toys was at the Vegas event so maybe they will try to get a deal with QS/InArt to stock their products.

Is OnesixthOufitters reliable? They have it.

Looks like the Gandalf preorder at specfiction has gone to waitlist.

Someone posted a video on Instagram from the Vegas event with amazing close ups of all the InArt figures with a brief glimpse of Gandalf. Can see the face details much better, looks amazing! Definitely goes to show what bad lighting can do.

Actually looks like what was promised. I can’t believe they’re planning to ship him out Q1 next year. Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly!

Their communication with the customers seems pretty good, unlike HT. They must truly be afraid of the Viper.

Hot Toys (and Sideshow) were also good when they first started.

No wonder, their prices are totally insane for what they offer. How does they still earn money from collectors right now?

True but at least Hot Toys does not directly lie to us. For instance, Aragorn was not broken during the shipping but they decided the prototype is not ready so they created a lie for the Las Vegas event and I find that shameful to the customers. I would be perfectly OK if they told the prototype is not ready.

So was Asmus until they felt the wrath of this place

From ppl who will ONLY buy officially licensed products instead of going from something like the SooSoo versions (or any third party figure) that might look better.

Is that a confirmed fact or some internet rumor?
