Just heat it up, get it in the right shape and then pop it in the freezer. Should get rid of the bend.
 
Re: Gandalf the Grey 12" in hand pics !!!

The staves are both too bendy... I would just dump it in boiling water and rubber band both ends to a pencil or a popsicle stick.
 
Re: Gandalf the Grey 12" in hand pics !!!

I love this figure, period. It really is the pinnacle in LOTR 1/6th scale collectibles.

Besides the feet spinning like propellers and the loose joints elsewhere, there's also the hat which while fantastic looking, is rather heavy. Add to that the heaviness of the bearded sculpt and we've got one very top-heavy figure just ready to take a shelf dive. So be careful, everyone, when posing him sans base.

I'm definitely going to work on getting his staff to light up via a simple wired LED. I think it can be done successfully.

I 100% agree. It's an amazing figure. One of the absolute best Sideshow has ever made. He's damn near perfect! Every bit as good as a Hot Toys one but for a much cheaper price.

I'm going for the light up staff also and hope to put in a voice function as well.


:gandalf

EDIT: Just heat your staff up a bit, Craw and it will straighten right out. I'd try hot water first then dunking it in cold to set it when it's straight. Or just take a couple Viagra. :D

I'd love to see a light up staff guys go for it.
 
Re: Gandalf the Grey 12" in hand pics !!!

this is my new favorite figure. words cant describe it. ian mckellan's performance of GTG was outstanding and this figure captures that performnce perfectly for me. i almost had tears in my eyes as i pulled him out of the box it is that good. if you are on the fence, buy him now.

ps. i didnt know he shipped with a black cloak. when did he use that in the films? i dont remember it.

quick pics out of the box.

It's not black it's dark gray. Glad you like him!!
 
Re: Gandalf the Grey 12" in hand pics !!!

Part of the confusion is the black cloak is a bit darker than it should be, it's almost imperceptable that he's wearing it in the film.

Shire - Isengard - Hooed Cloack
Rivendell - Moria - Dark hoodless cloak

the hat is great and fits the head perfectly without sitting up to high or hanging to low. another reason to buy this guy.:lol
 
Re: Gandalf the Grey 12" in hand pics !!!

:mad:If you're a 1/6 collector and like LOTR even a little bit, thats enough reason for anyone to buy this figure. (same with the hobbits)
 
Re: Gandalf the Grey 12" in hand pics !!!

Well, as nice as Gandalf is, at $90, you have to be a bit more than a casual fan/collector.
