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

Never get in equidistant alignment between your magnets and your cellphone.

Definitely not a good idea. Just like not pulling out your phone at the gas pump.

Or in any cylindrical metal object, like the fuselage of a plane.

Guys I think the jewel from the top of Gandalfs staff is lost forever. Anyone have a solution on how to replace? I reached out to InArt customer service but haven’t heard back yet.

Just passing through, but besides the regular channels e.g. parted out and/or Inart, maybe replacement bulbs for ceramic work - light up ceramic trees etc:

Another option is put some nylon or whatever over a vacuum hose and vacuum everywhere tho I've still got cell batteries that shot off and disappeared into the carpet, someplace.

Word, he's a DOPO, and I have the Asmus one already.

Finally got the chance to finish my InArt Gandalf base redo.

A total of 12 long bar magnets inserted across the base, painted up the chipped edges mine had on the top right edge and got rid of the wobble.

Visually, there’s no difference (which is the point), but he definitely holds way better now. Even shook the shelving a bit and he did not fall over, so it’s been a success thankfully.

Yea, after watching the trilogy again recently, I think I may be inclined to get a GTW version.

Just got this in today. Officially my first InArt figure. Headsculpt is amazing. Outfit is lovely.

I find the hands to be a interesting idea, but not well executed, at least on mine. The magnets, especially on the left hand, don’t want to keep the hand in, so I have to be extra mindful when moving or posing the figure.

But otherwise he’s spectacular. It’s almost a shame to leave the hat on him, but I like the look!


Any ideas for a better stand option? The magnets scare me a bit. Tho it’s super cool.

I never really liked the kinda drugged-up expression Gandalf had here, so I never went for this one. And I know InArt has said that they would never reissue figures. But looking at the aftermarket prices for this Gandalf, I am curious, do you guys think that there ever will be another GtG from them?

No.

 

[IronPatriotFTW]

I think it’s silly to never reissue.

 

[AssassinHood]

No.

Onwards to the next people in the fellowship then. Who do you hope for after Frodo and Sam?

I think it’s silly to never reissue.

Word, I am always a fan of reissues. I know it can be quite the ruckus about it though.

With the rate that they currently put up PO's I don't see them reissuing this. Maybe if things pick up over the years to where they are releasing more in a year, or running out of IPs to do. Earliest that may happen 10-15 years.

I was convinced they would open another round of preorders for Harry once they started announcing Ron and Hermione. So incredibly short-sighted. Like who is going to buy a Hermione, a Dumbledore, or a Draco from the first film if they missed out on Harry? I guess maybe Snape would be fine as a stand-alone figure? But I’m sure there are lots of collectors like me who regret passing on Harry and are essentially out on the whole line now because of it. Zero chance I’m paying $800+ for Harry in the aftermarket.

That's the reason I love reissues - gives people a chance to hop on board the train again. It's a rough world enough as it is, we don't need aftermarket prices on that as well.
