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

[Kalkylen]

I’m waiting for Hot Toys to announce that they have the LOTR license and tease a figure . . .

I’m serious.

This wishful thinking or insider information...?

Neither. A personal prediction.

It’s the kind of stuff they used to do with Enterbay. If production Gandalf is a triumph after all the prototype praise for Aragorn, it’s going to give InArt a huge goodwill boost.

Hot Toys can’t have that.

 

[Raleig.h]

Hot Toys is too busy with The Marvels

All Hot Toys are either Marks or Mandalorians. They all look the same.......boring.

Talks to Howard he told me........"COMING SOON"

That is absolutely something H.Chan will do.

I really hope IA can find a loophole where they can have an American distributor. I know western collectors have places like Kit, giantoy and a select few others…but having an American distributor can do a lot in terms of exposure for IA.

Also, thank goodness WB/DC are open and free with their IPs…otherwise IA wouldn’t have anything to work with.

I have a local store that I purchase 1/6 figures from. It would be so much easier to call him and say “Put my name down for Gandalf” as I have done with Hot Toys and Damtoys in the past. He is aware of Innarts, but has no way to bring it in.



I am rolling the dice with Aragorn ordering from KIT (never purchased from over seas). Missed the boat on Gandalf maybe there will be extra’s when they’re all shipped that I may pick the scrap meat from the bones. It would be nice to have but I won’t be crying if I miss it.

No offence or anything, but what’s with the dogma some collectors have of not ordering directly from overseas? I really can’t imagine thinking Kit counts as rolling the dice

You dont have to worry about ordering from kit, hes absolutely great and I've never had anything go wrong with him. I live near abouts you as well.

Pretty sure everyone else here would vouch for him too!

 

[Godfather1408]

Kit is a huge credit to the community you're in great hands with incredible service.

 

[Bgnyc007]

Yeah I’ve used kit for going on 10 years now and even with the 1k inart rooted joker 2 pack was a amazing experience end to end.

New experience for me! Never had to stretch my arm so far to purchase a 1/6 figure. I have reassurance by many already that I am in good hands! So I am cool!

Pretty sure H. C will use whatever power/costs to avoid IA touching license in America

This is what they do best, hold all licenses but just release ironmans

I hate H.Chan so much.

Gandalf with tongue action.

Since I derailed this thread yesterday, I think it’s only appropriate to repost these screen grabs from @skullboy
Definitely an overall spectacular looking piece

I'm just not a fan of the GTW sculpt being reused for GTG on Asmus. His expression is too fierce and the hair is still too white + neat. It's a good sculpt but not one I would spend $120 on and be happy calling it a day. Great option to those who are happy enough with it to just plop it on their GTG figure.

Gives me the vibe of seeing GTW cosplay as GTG if that makes sense. Bit too mismatched.

I mainly agree but to play devil’s advocate the facial expression seems fairly well matched for a pose facing the Balrog.

 

[satanatos]

I still see the White in that face. That stern look is not how I remember GtG
