Glad to see you got one!Nabbed one this morning, too! I'm so stoked. Now, I can turn all my attention to Aragorn.

Congrats!Got a Gandalf from Kit this morning. Almost had it yesterday but hesitated too long and missed. This morning though I was ready and no screwing around. Pretty stoked to get it!
$595. I think it was close to that originally. Maybe a bit less but I can’t remember.How much is he selling them for?
IIRC, the preorder price was $515, so an $80 "why didn't you preorder" tax is much, much nicer than the eBay upcharge. This is why Kit has such loyal customers!$595. I think it was close to that originally. Maybe a bit less but I can’t remember.
Mine arrived today. Took ten days. Not the end of the world, just reporting back as requested.PS: We upgraded to faster shipping route for United States, estimate schedule 5-8 days delivering by USPS
Please report here if it takes more than 8 days from the date you receive tracking from us
I want to see if this shipping route worth the $$
Nice. The first drop was at like 3am for me. If I didn’t have one already id be screwed.The drop was at 7AM my time, which... I mean, I don't love setting an alarm at that time on a Saturday, but for this piece, it was worth it. Seems like Kit has a fair number of these, considering this is the third drop so far and I'm seeing a bunch of "Got one!" comments on FB every time.
Ah I couldn’t remember for sure. Either way better than eBay/secondary market prices.IIRC, the preorder price was $515, so an $80 "why didn't you preorder" tax is much, much nicer than the eBay upcharge. This is why Kit has such loyal customers!
Man, I hate how Spec does their procurement. When’d you order if you don’t mind me asking?Mine is finally getting delivered from Spec today. I got an email with my tracking number over a month ago lol.
That’s interesting I’ve got almost exactly the same issues as you. I got the head out with a considerable amount of force but yeah I didn’t heat it up.I got mine from Kit a few days ago. Arrived super fast lol Finally started opening it up and a lot of stuff fell out of its placement, ie a hand, a boot, etc. The left wrist magnet was stuck in the hand that fell off during shipping. I got the magnet back into the wrist but the magnet in the hand seemed to be glued down but not pushed in far enough so it wont even attach to the wrist.
I think my stuff has warped somehow because I also cant get the light lamp into the crystal, and I can't get the dang head to budge in any way on the tube base. Anyone got a tip for this? Considering the hair I'm nervous about heating anything up.
Nice, yeah glad we both got lucky and nothing broke lol Figure really is incredible. Got me hyped for Aragorn and their whole LOTR line...That’s interesting I’ve got almost exactly the same issues as you. I got the head out with a considerable amount of force but yeah I didn’t heat it up.
Late August 2022Man, I hate how Spec does their procurement. When’d you order if you don’t mind me asking?
Should’ve asked beforehand.. it was well documented that you need to twist it clock-wise. It also mentions it in the manual..I think my stuff has warped somehow because I also cant get the light lamp into the crystal, and I can't get the dang head to budge in any way on the tube base.

EDIT: I just got a good grip with two fingers on the side of his head and slightly put pressure in different directions over and over for a few minutes and then it finally turned with an audible snap (and no breakage besides my fingers being slightly sticky from the hair product).
Dayum. So it’s confirmed. Spec literally waits until they get all of their allotment at the end before shipping out. Ridiculous.Late August 2022
Huh, the sleeved hand look isn't consistent across the film? TIL. I'll have to watch closely when I revisit it and start posing. I may or may not already be fantasizing about how I want to display him...During these select scenes, he shouldn’t have the sleeves around his hands,
perfection!Anyway.. some more pics I took of GtG today. Truly wonderful.
I removed the cloak, sword belt and scabbard to have him how he looks like during certain scenes at the beginning of Fellowship. During these select scenes, he shouldn’t have the sleeves around his hands, but for the life of me, I cannot remove it on his left hand now without potentially tearing it up. If there’s one thing about this set that is annoying me is that. INART needed to make them longer….
