That?s a very nice base. I?ve started checking out diorama vids on YT to get some ideas for my LOTR figures.

Seen your pics on FB Pizza. He really looks great. I'm going to try something with my hat. If it doesn't work I'm going to go your route.

Sorry guys. One last question about the shipping box with this figure.
Is the brown Asmus box as sturdy as a Hot Toys brown shipper ?

I just got my package from Asmus direct. The brown shipper is not as sturdy as a Hot Toys one. However, they double boxed it and added bubble wrap between the outer box and the brown shipper. They also used plastic corner protectors. I must say they really upped the packaging and made an effort to protect the art box.

Thanks CBJon.
Hmmm OK. I'm just contemplating if I pay significantly more (+$40) to ship double boxed (due to larger box being just over the size limit for cheaper freight) or simply send with the Asmus box for the cheaper rate ?

Their shipper box alone is not very protective. The HT ones are quite a bit stronger in comparison.

OK I guess it's a pretty clear sign especially if Asmus are also double boxing. Not ideal considering the low cost of the box itself can drive shipping costs up considerably.
Something to consider for the future Asmus...

So I tamed the beard and hair by spraying water on it, shaping it, and letting it dry. It definitely made it less frizzy. So wetting the hair is a productive and easy thing to do. Unfortunately the figure I bought did not get lamb’s wool that has natural curl to it, though. Once it dried it still remained pretty straight.
if you can braid it and wet it (or braid it while wet), let it dry, then un-braid it,
the hair will curl up. Girls did it to their hair in the 60's -called it "Zapping".
It will fall back out with more water if you don't like the results

I received my invoice for Gandalf today! I ordered Feb 3rd this year as soon as new pre-orders went up, and I'm in the Netherlands. I was expecting this much later this year, so this was a nice surprise.
