Anyone else listen about this awsome guy in the podcast? He really sounds great and I just want some more pictures from Sideshow to see the small little details.
Gandalf 12" up for order!

So what did they say about him? Anything we didn't know?

All I know is that they'd better crack out some more figures like this! No other announcement has made me this happy since the Hobbits were announced (speaking of which, where are they?)!

Nothing new just talking about the design and all but it is still good to hear I guess.

That speederbike took up about half the podcast. I was more intrested in the Wizard also.

Yeah, they really needed more Gandalf. I guess it makes sense to do more with the bike as it's actually shipping now, but I'm really hoping for more LOTR 1:6 news now. For example, packaging for the hobbits? Shipping estimation for Frodo? More details on Gandalf? There are so many questions--questions that need answering!

Might I add it looks a bit more weathered in these pics which is a good thing.

why is he holding a wooden stick?
give him his staff for heaven's sake.

It's the prototype and the staff wasn't sculpted yet me thinks.
Also it's why the bag and cape tie are off color.

Sorry...these pictures were taken months before anything had been sculpted. These are WIP progress pictures, and I was trying to see what he might look like with a staff.

This is a great addition to the blog - it shows how far away from being just "an old guy in a bathrobe" Gandalf is. When there are so many layers and details, it's impossible for the regular proto pics to convey the complexity.

See, that's what I don't like and it's a good thing they show it in the production blog. So much you don't see till you get it in your hands. Now that's not really a bad thing, but it is when people think the figure costs a lot and it just looks like some old man in a bath robe.

i hear ya Sachiel. i just dont get why anyone would expect an "old man in a bathrobe". SS's outfits have always been outstanding IMO. especially the LOTR line.
It's a tough thing though. You can assume the level of work behind Gandalf at his price, but at the same time, in a shaky economy, many buyers are going to feel uncomfortable spending certain ammounts on products based on how they're able to judge their worth. Withouth seeing all the detail on Gandalf, I'm sure many find it hard to place an order on assumption. I'm comfortable with SSC's policies so even if I were concerned I know I could cancel later. More we see with this one, the happier I'm getting.
