Gandalf the Grey

This looks pretty good. I guess it's all resin and hard materials? I'd like to see some more angles showing his sword, etc.

Shipping is not included.

This was showed in 2012 sdcc, but is this already offered to the public?

 

[darthwhitey]

Yes, it's $4999 plus shipping.

They say on the site that it's an "open edition" but have "5 available" now.

I'd like to see some more pics first. I sent them a note asking about shipping costs.

No hat?? ?? Also noticed that it won't fit through a standard sized door. Lol!

I don't like these 1:1 figures... Would be cool if they had real clothes instead of being a complete sculpt. And I think if you will get a costume, the weapons and from somewhere a gandalf 1:1 head sculpt and a mannequin, you will pay less than $5000.

It looks like a lifesize version of a sideshow figure.

Nice sculpt, for sure.

Real clothes, props and hair would have been even better, but wirhin the price bracket I'd say it looks loke a cool collectable.

They had one of these at Melbourne SuperNova at the WETA store, got to admit it was pretty terrible. The paint job was rough as and it looks like Gandalf is just wearing a potato sack from the texture they used for his robes. Waste of $5k!

It is only a waste if you spend it.
