My Gandalf came precisely when he meant to! (After I got bonus payment)

The wizzard arives.....

Was looking to find this one for awhile and finaly got one in sealed condition for €690 wich was pretty fair compared to all those scalper prices. Couldnt be happier.

First of all the unboxing experience was out of this world. I was amazed by litterly everything i pulled out of that gorgeous box. I didnt had that for awhile. Last time i unboxed a figure was The batman deluxe from hot toys. It was nice and okey but it didnt do anything more. You can feel the love and craftmanship in every single piece with inart.... Have to say i am more then impressed, far more then i thought i would

Then the figure itself. This is on another level for sure. It goes further then my wildest dreams.. what will this bring for the future? I only can imagine. Like i metioned before everything is crafted with love and perfection i cant say the same for hot toys. And i was always a hot toys kinda guy. Some custom pieces to. But what you get here feels like getting a custom figure down to perfection for alot less then a custom figure. The price is more then fair for what you get here.

Happy to report that i didnt came across any major problems, no missing parts damaged parts or problem with the hands. At first i could get the other hands on and they didnt seem to have that small lock gap. For a sec i was disappointed but with simply some strenght pushing and rotating i managed to get the hands on and off with no problem. Maybe it helps for some here. Use some force push and rotate at the same time

The hair was pretty easy to work on. Just a brush and some warm water. I had one string of hair that would not take its place and was in front of his face. I simply cut it off.

The base isnt the strongest but he stands on my shelf without any problems so no complaints. No display case. Could they made it a bit stronger? Oh yess next time please do. But it works

Overall this guy is a 9.5 out of 10 for me its so close to a perfect figure i have ever seen.

Inart, i will definitely will be back for more !

Some quick shots here. Didnt spend alot of time fuzzing. Honestly i cant waint to spend time on this again.

What boxset is that next to Gandalf? Looks really cool

 

[Bleah]

I just want to ask, has anybody else gotten one with blutac where the PERS control is? It can't be just me. Lol!

Got mine yesterday. It’s been a rough week for me so I haven’t done a lot with it. My cat passed away unexpectedly so been pretty down about that and not exactly caring about stuff like figures at the moment.

Sorry to hear Big cat lover here to. Got 2 of them, cant imagine how much it hurts losing them. All the best

They are from hdzeta. These are real leather made boxes with editions and steelbooks inside. You can find it on youtube

Thanks all for the sympathies everyone. Just a very unexpected loss. She was only around three. My wife and I adopted her from the Humane Society in December 2022 so don’t have her exact birthdate.

She essentially had the equivalent of a heart attack for a cat. Had some other health issues that we were trying to help treat and this came out of nowhere.

RIP sweet Rosie girl.

Oh man this shot

 

[JackRusselTs]

Well I was hoping for a new LOTR reveal but we have a Ron Weasley instead. Not for me

 

[zexion_armando]

“Why didn’t they simply take the giant dire puppy to Mordor?”

I tried getting him to sit on her to ride, but she wasn’t having it lol.

 

[hoodonit00]

Hell of a shot there

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Loving the cloak and hat look. I did end up removing a lot of filler to get it to sit low enough and I water treated the cloak. I’m not sure about leaving the hat on long term though.

Kinda thinking “drunk Gandalf” is the proper look

Gandalf after an evening smoking some of the finest Old Toby from South Farthing

This is the last thing the Balrog saw as Gandalf stared him down.

InArt really needs to get their eye system worked out. My Gandalf was a bit "crosseyed and painless" looking too, with the left eye being set a little too far inward. Not enough that it's a deal breaker, and not enough that I'd risk tinkering with the mechanism, but it's still a frustrating thing for such a premium feature.
So far 2-for-2, Joker and Gandalf have come with these wonky crossed eyes. It's not a good sign of InArt's "oversight" (pun intended) in this area.

 

[Scout Trooper]

What's this I'm seeing about fake rings? lol

 

[BladeS]

When my Gandalf arrived it only had 3 legs and no arms and demanded I pay him in Target gift cards.

InArt really needs to improve their QA it's getting ridiculous.

 

[Brett Banner]

Damn, I didn’t even check the ring for mine. Better go look.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

“I have no memory of this place.”

 

[Wor-Gar]

I took a cursory look through the box when my Gandalf arrived long ago, but never checked the ring details or such.

I hope this is not a real thing...

 

[Brett Banner]

I’ve been following the thread on the OSK group. Lots of people saying their rings look similar. Apparently there are also differences with the envelope too, though I wouldn’t be too fussed about that.
