Is this half scale or third scale?

I understand trying to do something unique, but I am not a fan of that pose, especially at this scale. Something more museum-like would be much more epic IMO. Still, nice looking piece, just not for me

I like the attempt at a different pose, but I'd need to see more angles and pics to see if it really works. Otherwise, an excellent sculpt on both this and Legolas.

I don't think it works as well in 1/2 scale. Takes up way too much space, it's nearly the height of a life size piece.

It's breathtaking

And tall!

stunning and beautiful

Also not a fan of the off center toy size Balrog and LOTR logo on the base. It's like the couldn't decide which one to use so they stuck both of them on randomly.

 

[Gipetto0812]

Definitely an amazing piece. However, looks like they're missing the stamped pattern on the leather belt and maybe the sculpted end piece of the leather belt. Also looks to be missing a lot of detail on the buckles. For something that's probably going to cost an arm and a leg, these little details shouldn't be missed, especially at 1:2 scale.

"The Lord of the Rings" - Gandalf the Grey 1/2 Scale Statue
.
Gandalf is a protagonist in J. R. R. Tolkien's novel The Lord of the Rings. He is a wizard, one of the Istari order, and the leader&mentor of the Fellowship of the Ring.
.
Ian McKellen has portrayed the character of Gandalf beautifully in the theatrical release.
.
"You shall not pass!"
In "The Fellowship of the Ring," Gandalf uses the phrase as he blocks the path of Balrog Demon in pursuit. We chose this look as it is not only the most iconic line but one of the greatest scenes in the trilogy. It’s Gandalf at his most puissant and most human. And deep inside of the line, it shows how J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings was successfully adapted by Peter Jackson.
.
Improvements
.
After our first reveal of the Gandalf statue in the Winter Direct, we have received many helpful feedbacks from the meticulous collectors and Lord of the Ring lovers. We have corrected and optimized the design of the weapons and cloth after deeper research based on the feedback so we can present the most accurate Gandalf statue possible.
.
Head sculpture
.
We are offering both Polystone and silicone head sculpt options. The silicone sculpt utilises platinum-grade silicone, which won’t decolour and deform over time so the statue can be preserved for a longer time. We have implemented extremely detailed hair-rooting techniques to not only the hair but the eyebrows as well as the beard.
.
The painting restores the folds and wrinkles on the face, making Gandalf’s age more vivid. The dramatic expression conveys the determination and courage of Gandalf when he fought against the demon Balrog.
.
Weapons
.
1. Glamdring (also called the Foe-hammer): a hand-and-a-half sword, forged for Turgon, the Elven King of Gondolin during the First Age, and later owned by Gandalf
.
2. Moria Staff: Given by Galadriel after Gandalf escapes from Orthanc. This is the staff Gandalf used when facing Balrog.
.
The gem of the on the staff can be lit up by pressing a button.
.
We have modified the staff from the first prototype to look closer to the movie prop used in this scene.
.
Clothing
.
Real Fabrics, linen, and pleather were used when making the outfit for Gandalf. The belt and the strap of the scabbard have undergone several optimizations to be more accurate to the movie.
.
Base
.
The design of the base embodies Balrog and flames, equipped with breathing lights to create a more on-the-spot atmosphere.
The base is also embedded with an NFC chip specially made for our 1/2 Scale Master Forge Series.
Use a mobile phone with an NFC function to scan close to it, you will be directed to a page corresponding to the product for more information.
.
Master Forge Series
.
Gandalf has just joined the Master Forge Series line with Legolas. The Fellowship of the Ring has begun to take shape.
More characters in the fellowship are being made to 1/2 statues.
Please stay tuned!

this thing is insane

 

[Pork Chop Express]

That's pretty impressive.

 

[Gipetto0812]

Glad they added the missing belt details. Interesting that they sculpted the long sleeve undershirt instead of using fabric. But I guess that would've been complicated even at this scale since he's grasping his staff and sword.

[generalszabo]

Gandalf has put on some weight

 

[67L88Stingray]

Yes, quite a drop off from the prototype.
