Gandalf the Grey PF

[Agent23]

I'm not really into p.f.'s like I used to be. But, I do like this piece enough to order it. I'm gonna try to get the exclusive, if it sells out, then I'll be happy with the regular.

I think it looks great.

But they've never shown stuff like that in pictures lighting up if they didn't actually light up--like the lightsabers, they've only show that on the PF's that had the light up feature

I would wager you are right, but they have done this with some Star Wars PFs in the past and of course their mocked up 1/6 figs.

Probably nothing, just some more speculation while I wait for my #1 PF to be released.

Gondorian Pippin?

 

[LOTRFan]

Gondorian Pippin?

#2.

But there was a disclaimer, which they didn't add to the Gandalf image.

I think you are gonna get sucked back in man.

I guess we will just have to play the waiting game as to the light.

Not to mention the -

Video of the Anakin/Asajj Dio, and I think there were others.

But either way, it's all just for fun anyway.

 

[The Josh]

Tempted to get this for sure!

Has it been finally confirmed whether this will light up or not? Seeing as how it is only seen in one pic, I don't think it is a foregone conclusion.

I guess that confirms it.

Thanks for posting that! That's good news for a lot of people.

It looks like I'm going to miss the PPO on this one and have to waitlist it unless for some reason it doesn't sell out until later in the day (not likely).

 

[DaveMac]

A thought on the exclusive (hatless) version I will definately be going for.

It may be a great addition to those who have either the LSB Balrog or wall mountable Balrog head as it could be a partial representation of the elusive 'bridge scene' if the hatless Gandalf was put near one of these (minus Glamdring of course)

Just a thought..

So is the base great or just terrific.

This could well be the best LOTR PF yet.

That was my thought as well...Not sure if Ringer thinks the base is Terrific, or just Great.

And this is going to be one heck of a PF. Can't wait for this one!

 

[Indiana Fett]

This looks like a job well done. I'm getting one for sure--although the hatless sculpt will sit forever untouched in the box, just like Indy. This is just the best Gandalf representation that you could hope for.

Don't be so sure...I've had my hatless Indy head on the PF for sometime now as my hatted head is with Figuremaster Les for a repaint.

If the Gandy factory apps don't measure up, then the hatless head is going on and hatted head is off to one of the talented repainters on these boards!
