This version looks satisfactory, but I think I'd prefer a DiD take on Oppenheimer similar to DiD's Patton and Stauffenberg offerings where we get a historically accurate likeness and a deluxe or addon option that includes the actor's likeness.

If memory serves, Kit allows manual payment plans where you can send him an email and request to prepay any amount towards the balance. I might go that route and get the four pack since I'll have a year to pay it off.

Good that Kit's preorder window is long. Plenty of time to think it over. And the edition size is (seemingly) open... although, I expect that INART anticipates some kind of ceiling to the preorder numbers based on those prices and how many ordered their previous figures.

I expect there will be a few custom clothing runs to upgrade Mondo's figure to add the blue hoodie, a real leather jacket, and better boots, which is not to say that custom upgrades should be necessary, particularly because the development time on this figure was so long.

Is the head pushed all the way down on the peg? I noticed in this and a few other pictures that the new head appears to be sitting too high above the shoulders like on Asmus' Saruman figure.

I have too many figures, so, in the spirit of buying less (not yet downsizing), I'd be willing to pay around $500 for a mass produced figure if the quality is high and the pace of releases is slow. I have found that, as my collection grows, I'm more interested in quality and having the best...

Well, if you wait long enough, custom figures are likely to eventually be mass produced.

This image evokes Gandalf the White to me (like in the scene where he reveals himself to Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli”), but it’s an improvement over the original GtG Crown head with those wonky eyes.

These are 25% off ($150) at Sideshow this weekend if anyone is looking to bolster their Nazgûl numbers for a Weathertop display. Asmus is also selling a defect box for $130 on their website.

Same for me. GANDALF THE GREY UPGRADE PACKAGE

I agree that we're all looking for what pleases us individually and that it may be different for each person, depending on what's available to buy. There happen to be a bunch of Gandalfs and InArt's iteration looks like the definitive version in 1/6 scale, but it's not quite there for me in...

SharkCityOzark

Finally. The hunt for the grail(s) is almost over. I'll order multiples if it supports production and release of all three principle characters. I ordered a 1/6 Bruce from SharkCityOzark a few months ago on the off-chance someone would get around to making these. I had to pass on the recent...

Hot Toys already released a sculpted hair Anakin.

You're queued ahead of yourself. There's probably a lot of that and why the queue numbers are so high.
