Re: Saruman the White

Ok so just for the sake of argument I'm going to list my observational issues with this PF based on the images provided.

1.) Palantir too small
2.) beard still funky
3.) beard too short
4.) Saruman doesn't have layered hair so what's with the two shorter strands up front
5.) $399.99 I know is the going rate for PF's but not sure how that's gonna fly for LotR

That being said, since I do have RP to use, I'm not going to wait for cheaper aftermarket prices on the regular, just gonna go ahead and get the exclusive because it does look cool.

Yeah you're right - his beard is only 3/4 as long as it should be and the Palanir should be nearly the size of a bowling ball. I think it should of been the ex too but no matter it's pretty awesome and I'm gonna order him

Seriously? You think that this...



is a bad face sculpt?

I think it's excellent.

Does the staff light up also? I don't see where they mention that, but the doctored pic shows it glowing with the Palantir.

Re: Saruman the White

I will display him without the Palantir and if I do any custom work/paint it will be the beard only....I think $400 and plus PF's are here to stay

"Originally the Palantir was the ex, but going to China with a swap-out on a run like this, with one of them lighting up, it's much easier to make the regular light-up and the exclusive not-light up so we dont have all the wiring not used in all the regulars since they'd all get made the same... so it was swapped originally, and this came up last second, so we switched.

Tried workin in another swap-out for the ex last second so the regular could come with both of these, but it was too late.

Sorry to inconvenience everyone with the awesome light-up Palatnir…"

Very nice!
I love the pose for this piece.

Re: Saruman the White

I wonder what the extra swap out would have been.

Gandalf's staff maybe?

Re: Saruman the White

Second head with correct longer beard?

Yea, that would be nice. Get the length, texture, and color right and I can live with the other minor gripes.

Re: Saruman the White

I wonder if SS tried making the beard more screen accurate but they just weren't satisfied with it or something.

I would hate to see what they started with if this is the "fixed" version

Re: Saruman the White

I'll be buying this for sure! LOVE THE BASE! Will be well over 20inches tall, thinking 24-26 to be honest.

NOW BRING OUT THE ****ING BOROMIR WE'VE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR!

Had to do that

Re: Saruman the White

Just quickly, I've never ordered direct from sideshow before.

I want to flexi? this? Which means I pay monthly installements? Do I pay them immediately or when the item is shipped? Also if I choose to pay all in one, is that when the item has been shipped?

Another rookie question, being my first purchase am I eligible for any discounts etc? Are there any codes I can use?

Thanks for the help in advance!

Re: Saruman the White

I like how the base mirrors the one for Gandalf.

Re: Saruman the White

Good costuming. Great to see Sideshow introducing cos-play editions of LOTR characters.

Re: Saruman the White

I wish they stuck with the palantir as the Ex. Pointy finger is a lame EX
