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

What is this 'floating lamp' of which they speak?

Maybe it's like those balloon led lights u stuff into balloons that light up.

Personally don't care for any light up/UV light gimmick unless if it's USB fed. One of those things you turn on for 5 seconds before never using again. An LED staff with the wire feeding through his sleeve and robe would have been neat. Feel like I saw someone do that to the Asmus GTG.

I was imagining an led inside the head of the staff and under the crystal, connecting to a small wire inside the staff that comes out the bottom to a battery under the robes or something. That would limit his staff poses though.

I don't think they ever mentioned there would be LEDs on this figure. That post makes it sound like it's some sort of UV light gimmick. Similar to what Hot Toys does when they want to avoid using LEDs. Not sure what they mean though.

Yeah most likely

Not getting this, but happy to see the proportions are good and he doesn't have that oversized head issue. Which makes me more hopeful for Aragorn and Batman now.

Y'know, I just finished reading Fellowship for the first time last week, and now I'm even more excited about getting Gandalf. I was kind of hesitant to read the book, as I'd read some comments that it was not as 'action-packed' as the movies, and Tolkien spent a lot of time writing about walking, and while that was certainly true (I was about halfway through the book and they were just getting to the Prancing Pony!) the book was actually pretty good in its own right. I mean, duh!

Sort of like Jurassic Park, in how the book and the movie are pretty different, but the movies do capture the spirit pretty well. I was waiting to get to the big fight where Boromir dies, so imagine my surprise when it never happens at all. I'm anxious to get to Two Towers. I've got it on hold at my local library, but I'm thinking I might just go buy my own copies, cuz I really can't stand the wait. I think I want to get the illustrated versions, but also, it might be better to read the text-only so I can imagine the visuals on my own first ... even though I've already seen the movies plenty already.

It's tough being a collector and there's so many different versions of the books. With figures, there's typically only one version, but with books ... oh, the choices!

I assume the box is smaller now as compared to the Joker's. Is it Kit?

What is it with people and the box size? The box for the single joker was regular sized. This is a single figure. It will be a normal sized box.

I haven't unbox my joker yet..

 

[Hando]

I dreamed about gandalf last night. Is that a sign I should buy this figure?

 

[BrooklynWolf X]

My wife and I literally finished the trilogy last night, first time for her. She LOVED them.


I am ready for Gandalf the Grrrey!

Any chance of a Gandalf leftover?

Any chance of a Gandalf leftover?

Earlier he said if he gets any cancellations, he will put them back up. I'm sure he will get some once it comes time for people to pay.

This is a early sample for review but shipping should be soon.

As for left overs I'd say keep eyes peeled as probably will be cancelled orders.

Any idea when the review will be up?
Even some pics with a decent camera would be cool.

 

[Mike86]

I’ll be on the lookout for an opportunity to get this. Really kicking myself for not securing a pre-order right away.
