I think it looks pretty good actually. The thing is we have been waiting for so long for a new announcement, that this one had VERY big shoes to fill.
We'll see how it looks at SDCC. But, so far I think it looks decent. August 13 is pre-order day.
P.S. I am just glad we finally got another LotR P.F. announcement. I don't want this line to die. It's about time. I was getting worried for awhile...thanks SS for the new announcement.
I love the facial sculpt on this though..much better than the LS bust. They really captured Gandalf through his eyes. I can't wait to see this one in person at SDCC. The costume is going to be amazing.
I have a feeling this one will grow on me over time, and I'll end up pre-ordering him.
Finally...something to really be looking forward to. Thanks Sideshow!!
I don't see a problem with it, looks great. I thought I was picky, I can't believe that this pic its taking hits, tough crowd. That sculpt is right on, I'm surprised since the Human Likeness' never come out right. I was expecting another frodo.
It does look OK, but IMO it doesn't come close to the facial likeness of the SS/Weta GTW bust or the GWOS statue for that matter. Obviously we haven't seen the whole statue yet and perhaps when I do my opinion may change somewhat, but I don't even think it's as good as the LS Gandalf. Perhaps I was expecting too much, or perhaps SS should have hired one of the Weta sculptors for this one. Time will tell
