Asmus Toys: Galadriel

[TheRiddler32?]

I didn’t water treat it- just kept squishing ir down! And all I did to the crown was dremeled down the inside so it was thinner. Was going to try and paint it but I actually don’t hate it as is!

Beautiful set up!

I got a Toybiz Galadriel to use the crown but it seems mine needs a paint touch up.

I picked up a ToyBiz crown as well. Even though it's a cheap 20 year old plastic accessory, it really suits the figure. Hope we can get a 3D printed or metal one someday. Any customizers out there willing to try?

 

[BagginsOfBagEnd]

^ Great pics both, looks great. Wish I'd kept my Toybiz figure now!

Just a quick post now that I have taken her out of the box - my Galadriel does not have any scratches on the neck.

Nothing against the other posts, but this is the first in-hand pic that is making me consider getting this!

Just to note that I haven’t done any futzing or styling. This is right out of the box.

LOL it was all the other pics that had me ordering, so that's all right.

Congrats Someperson - IMO a wonderfully done figure, and suspect when the Amazon series hype begins - a young Galadriel being a main character - we'll all be glad to have this version, besides the LOTR/Hobbit connection.

Just ordered from PopCultcha - they have 20% off in stock figures at the moment with "COLLECT" code, so if anyone was on the fence and needed a nudge.....
They still have both Elven soldiers in stock as well. FYI
**The code may end soon as it is a "weekend deal"

My Galadriel finally arrived today but has the neck issue and some unsightly pulls in the fabric on the chest … gutted

 

[Xman1990]

the Neck looks awful it’s not a scratch it’s a default in the mold by the looks of it.
And the pull in the gown is so noticeable as it’s across the front of the dress….. I could cry I’ve waited so long for these figures.

Really sorry to see this, especially after a long wait. Totally sux. To me it looks like something was pressed into her neck - like the dress pin, maybe. Someone was really sloppy costuming her.

Dunno if steaming the neck area would help, and kind of massaging the area smooth. And using a pin to carefully get the fabric pull out.
But IMO grounds for a FAST exchange - this is a beautiful figure that deserves better than the harsh treatment it got from someone.

Are these problems very frequent?
Have you guys consulted with Asmus' rep?

don't know about that dress pull, but the bad neck seems to be pretty common.
Mine has it as well

I’ve contacted asmus about it, after waiting so long and had to send so many messages to sort out my orders for her I’m really angry and upset.

the neck just Looks awful, I hope I get a reply about her.

Hi mate, sorry to hear about that. Please wait for my colleague's reply if you submitted the after-sale case already.
The checking process from our maintenance team is not so quick to reply. Thanks for your waiting and we will give you the answer once we got.

I had a reply this morning from asmus, so I have sent images across in a reply and hopefully will come to some conclusion soon.

Galadriel arrived today. Got lucky with the neck scratches and dress. Actually a really nice figure that captures Blanchett very well. Glad I ordered her!

Congrats and great pics! The last pic with the blued light is really cool.

Yeah, she is a beautiful fig, a worthy addition to the collection for sure.
