Statue Weta: The Hobbit - Gandalf The Grey

[bill59]

I would love to see a close-up of this Galdalf's face...anyone got one?

Looks great from what I can see so far.

I'd have to say that this is my favorite Gandalf to date. I love the pose and the detail - even from the pic you can see the texture on his cloak and the likeness looks outstanding. Right now I have the little sitting Weta Gandalf and I want to get Weta's Fellowship diorama (which also has an awesome version of Gandalf - probably my 2nd favorite). So for right now I'll be passing, but I definitely wouldn't mind having it some time down the road.

the ss maquette gandalf is still the best for me, this looks good but not the best.

As i'm sure Woodsy would admit, this blows the maquette out of the water

nope, the maquette ex pose is epic for me, cloak blowing in wind, staff in front and a great base. And perfect paint.

it's all personal preference, there is no point arguing.

This is one of the best GTG I've ever seen!

What scale are these, they look 1/6.

 

[Boromir]

Yes they are.

Tho SSC maquette looks nothing like McKellen's Gangalf. Nor as the representation of the character nor in terms of likeness.

I agree. The SS maquette is very powerful and regal. This looks like somebody stepped on a twig and Gandalf is twirling around to see who is behind him. It's a really great piece, with very dynamic swirling sculpted clothing, but I prefer the bold pose of the SS piece. This comes in second, though. If I wanted two Gandalfs in my collection, I'd be happy to own the Weta version.

Tho SSC maquette looks nothing like Gangalf AND McKellen.

I agree on Gangalf, disagree on McKellen.

Love this statue!

I still prefer the PF format over this but this one looks better than the maquette line. Im a great fan of the maquette and i own all of them except the GTG.

I'm waiting for this too, anyone?

Looks great and challenges the PF for the best Gandalf out there IMHO.

 

[Irvy]

Won't fit with collection as I'm only PFs now, but I'd gladly pick this up to sit on my desk , great detailing.

I photoshopped it to get a better look at his face:

 

[FrodoEyes]

Definately the best photos so far. I can't get over how realistic they are. No comic book poses or super-hero billowing cloaks

 

[tomandshell]

I'm going to have to get used to that staff. Looks like a torch or a soft serve ice cream cone.

 

[Darth Waller]

I'm loving that statue!

And now I want some ice cream. Thanks, Tom!
