Asmus Toys Lord of the Ring Gandalf Gray

[Xman1990]

So it’s the company that produced Gandalf the White 2 years ago ?

No

 

[George13]

No

So it’s a custom made ?

Asmus @inyacher

can we expect some adjustments to the Gandalfs hat with upcoming batches? It seems most of the collectors who own the figure have issues with it, considering it the biggest downside of the figure.

I usually do not like to modify figures myself.

Thank you.

Hi Waiden, we won't change the design for Gandalf's hat as I know. There are still some collectors like the design of magnet. Thanks for your opinion.

Ok, thank you for your reply I am looking forward to receiving the figure so very much.

Ha, could the collectors who are really satisfied with Gandalf’s hat please make themselves known because I can’t recall seeing a single positive mention of it anywhere.

Maybe if the hat was a big larger and sat better it would have been a good idea?

Well, I have some nice sharp scissors ready, as that perching like a bird look isn't gonna cut it. But with the hair, might be a shame to use the hat (and I have V1 anyway who can wear the hat).

If, of course, SSC ever gets around to getting Gandalf in.

It would have been a great idea if they did it correctly. As it is it's one of those head scratchers.

Please like this if you’d be interested in a custom resin cast hat (including magnet) designed by me and cast in flexible resin. Not sure on the market so hesitant to invest the time. Theoretically I could sew one but I think a well designed cast hat will be better.

Anyone still holding out on just the sculpt, blackopstoys.com has one in stock.

View attachment 546492View attachment 546493I stumbled upon these on Instagram.
much similar to the work of another company which caused controversy over licensing.

amazing pieces of artwork but with a huge price tag.

asmus the licensed company for the price point of their figures does a grand job.imo

That sculpt looks incredible!
Voodoo magic...as if someone chopped off Mckellen's head and shrunken it down.

I was looking forward to maybe getting my Gandalf before the Christmas holidays...but alas, it's now looking it will be sometime in the new year...
Damn you SS and that bloody pandemic

Right there with ya . As it is, wouldn't be surprised if I got another delay notice from Sideshow. It's like a regular thing. Suppose Gandalf is still offshore of California. Maybe.

Has anyone got confirmation from SS on an actual shipping date? I'm trying to contact them but i'm stuck with that stupid autobot thingy

Haven't tried. Figure it's not Sideshow but the global shipping problem, plus apparently not enough dock space and workers. Nothing Sideshow can do, assuming Asmus shipped Sideshow's allotment.

After finally getting through to SS i was told that their batch of Gandalf's is due to arrive sometime this month.
I asked them about the whereabouts, as in...have they left China, at sea or arrived at the port?
They were pretty vague in their response and are guessing that the batch has possibly arrived at the port but are still waiting to be offloaded.

On the off chance that one of the port official's is looking in...HURRY UP AND OFFLOAD THOSE DAMN DOLLIES!!

Had the chance to repose one of the few remaining figures I have this evening. Reminds me why I started collected in the first place!
