Asmus Toys: Galadriel

[RandomHero]

So, question.

I cancelled my Galadriel at Sideshow in order to support Asmus directly (and get the mirror through them) on Monday. It's listed as in stock and able to be added to crt directly, but I had to pay the pre-order $20 deposit, I guess I got in before they had a chance to fix the system correctly. Since it's been a week, should I shoot them an email and ask them to send me an invoice? Not sure how to handle this one.

Yeah im the same.
I am patient though so am happy to wait.
Just do what you gotta do.
Message them via the site.

The cloak has a lovely silky feel and sheen and will probably drape very naturally as it has some weight to it. But I won't be using it for display as I prefer the texture and look of her dress. Also, I'm not crazy about the silver design printed on it. I don't know what it is, but it just feels to me like one of those robes a boxer wears when they enter the ring. It just looks too modern to my eye. Your mileage, of course, may vary.

I'm with Bucky, as I presently don't plan to display her with the cloak. I've got her in the "Frodo Fountain scene" look. I haven't even removed the cloak from the plastic baggy yet but I will check it out later today.

I'm looking forward to seeing the pics from our better photographer Freaks and especially what davejames and Raymond can do with her, but she really is great out of the box.

Definitely email them on the status. They've been pretty good with replying to me on few times that I've reached out to them.

Definitely don't mind being patient, I just wasn't sure if maybe I got missed since they were already shipping Galadriel when I placed my order, so maybe sending a follow up to pay for the remainder got missed? I just see you can buy it direct now and don't want to risk it getting missed or something. But I'll shoot a message and see what they say just to play it safe. Thank you.

Awesome, thank you. Just don't want to miss the figure given I ordered at a potentially odd moment as I mentioned above. Appreciate it.

Galadriel just arrived. So now I can finally open the Gandalf that arrived last Saturday.
Wanted to hold off so that I could adjust the display once.
Feels like Christmas!

 

[ObiGlennKenobi]

Ohhh Merry Xmas!!!

 

[Damien]

someone please take picture of the cloak
and I haven't been charged yet

 

[pixletwin]

Here?s a couple of quick pictures of my Galadriel wearing the Elvin cloak. I think it?s pretty but it?s hard to find a good pose that will work with the layers of clothing underneath. Also, the worst thing I can say about this figure is that the hair, while it looks great, doesn?t lay naturally, and has a tendency frizz.

 

[pixletwin]

I also may have missed it but I haven?t seen anywhere anybody mention that this is a numbered edition. Mine is number 20. What did everybody else get?

I got #18.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Oh, I forgot to mention that as well. They are definitely numbered. I think Grishnakh was numbered as well.

I got Galadriel #67.

#76

Just unboxed her tonight.

her skin tone is a little off between her head sculpt and the rest of her body. And it was weird seeing those extension plugs (above her feet) to make her taller. But otherwise a great figure.

That was also something that bugged me. They needed to use extensions on her feet because in comparison with other sixth scale figures, she?s too small! It?s like she?s 1/7 scale. Her head is smaller then Frodo and Sam! If you put her next to Princess Leia she is very slight and small.

 

[davejames]

Damn I was afraid this might be another VTS Furiosa situation, with her looking undersized and more like a teenaged version of the character.

Can you share any comparison pics with her next to Leia or Gandalf? I'm debating now if I'll want to keep my order, since no amount of modding can fix a figure that's severely underscaled...

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

I don't find her to be undersized or underscaled. At least nothing that jumps out to my eye. She's just a smidge shorter than Gandalf. The ankle extenders were odd out of the box, but you're never going to see them under the dress unless you've got her in some sort of action pose that isn't very Galadriel. You can see a slight change in skin tone between the head and neck area, but I only notice it if I'm specifically looking for it. It shows up more in photos than in person.

Overall, I think this is a fantastic figure.

 

[pixletwin]

Scale is more than just a matter of height. I?ll take some pics and post later.

 

[jal76]

I haven?t opened my Galadriel or Gandalf for that matter yet.
But if she is in fact underscaled and with all of the reported Gandalf issues...this is going to be bad for Asmus.

 

[ladyshanz]

Got mine today. #68.

Love the mirror and stand - they’re incredible. Unfortunately, my Galadriel arrived with some scratch marks on her neck. Pretty deep too. Anyone else have this issue? I’ve contacted Asmus already.

 

[Radagaster]

Can anyone share pics of how the feet look like on their fig? Do the top of the feet not sit flush with the ankles once connected?
