I see a determined Gandalf in IA's figure, but not a determined McKellen. :'(
Ha that’s exactly the critique I quoted as being the reason we won’t see any sculpt update.
It’s just too nebulous to do anything with other than go back to square one and start again.

‘Furrow the brow, elongate the whole face, squint the eyes and bring them closer together, raise the cheek bones’ etc, they might consider (just examples- not saying these are my suggestions for this sculpt) but this Gandalf sculpt seems to be more subjective in how it’s perceived than most.

This Image, for instance, really does it for me-

Whereas others, not so much.

This is definitely a Gandalf who’s having none of Peregrin Took’s stupidity.
 
I love it regardless because it reminds me of the artwork by the Brothers Hildebrandt back in the day. Even if it’s slightly off in some for or another (which I’m not saying it is), I love the look of him. To borrow an overused term from a few election cycles ago, Gandalf got gravitas

Well, in my three months old message, which I linked to, I mentioned giving him smaller pupils might go a long way towards getting McKellen's looks. That, and eyebrows that are slightly more arched, too. I just didn't see the point in repeating my old post in its entirety, especially here and at this stage.
 
I have hope Inart will fix the many things needed before release. The length of the robe, beard length, boot material and additional add on's like the staff he uses in mori.
 
Hello there everyone.
Wondering if any of you still remember what the original price on Gandalf was before it sold out?
Thx to all.
 
I passed on Gandalf since I was waiting - or hoping - for The White in the near future. Now I kinda want one though, stupid FOMO :horror
Would be cool if OSK had a waitlist for InArt figures^^
 
OH MY GOD!

This is absolutely stunning. I'm so happy right now. LETS GO! I just wanna mention how amazing the hands look, the sculpt we can talk here for days but I'm a sucker for good looking hands on figures, they are sooo GOOD damn. I'm over the moon happy rn

Woah, InArt is killing it! Admittedly, the beard still isn’t as puffy as the proto, but I’d say there’s an absolute improvement since the Vegas event :rock :rock

And those robes and hat look extremely good.

Regretting ordering from TNS now—Anyone know how long it took IA between Joker’s production photos and release?
