What happened to 1/6 Gandalf

[Batty]

If they do get around to making him I hope Trevor sculpts him and the paint apps is as tight as it was for Old Ben.

The hat is important to Gandalf's look too. It has to be done just right which makes me wonder if they'll go with a molded hat like HT Sparrow or try to make a cloth one.

Maybe they could go with both plastic and cloth like they did with Praji.

I know where Gandalf is. That's where Gandalf is:

Or maybe just cloth with metal wiring....

Yeah, that's right. I'd almost prefer a plastic one myself.

Yep, there's Gandalf, right in front of Kurgan.

 

[Alice Adrenochrome]

I've been pondering on this matter for a while now. Sideshow is undoubtedly aware that we are conscious of the picture, and no doubt it was either intentional, hence our knowing it, or an accident--and if it was unintended, the figure must already be in the later stages of development or else it would not have been on display. Either way, the figure is there. So why the wait?

Very likely they are waiting for a trade show like Toy Fair so that they can enjoy the pleasure of 'surprising' us all with a new announcement. If the picture was an accident, then that makes sense. But if the thing was intentionally planted, why has Sideshow remained silent? Why the mystery? I don't get it. It's not enough of a clue to excite anybody but the few people who follow their every move. Why Sideshow? What grand design have you prepared for those who wait? Why? Reveal to us your will! Please!!!

This kind of suspense taxes my patience sometimes.

I'm not saying this is correct - but notice that PF Aragorn solicits right before PF Gandalf the White ships. So perhaps they're waiting for some activity in the line before soliciting 1/6 Gandalf?

When do the hobbits ship?

But I'd imagine we'll see him at ToyFair anyway.

 

[The Mike]

When do the hobbits ship?

The Hobbits are scheduled for Q1 so anytime from now until March. It wouldn't be out of the realm of possibilities that the Hobbits ship in February and GTG is announced then.....

I believe they were delayed til 2nd qtr.

 

[Batty]

You are correct.

 

[pixletwin]

Hobbits = Q2
