If I order now, does this still count as pre-order because there was an extra staff included with the pre-order if I'm not mistaken?
I just hope they don't come with a LotR-version with updated sculpt if I do intend to buy one...

So Asmus DOES provide a shipping notice AND tracking information...?
That's great! Nothing for me yet, but my order was processed about a day after you guys.

Just watched a video on the figure. It does have a nice presence when properly posed. I'm still not sure if I'm getting this... So much stuff coming out.

That last pose+ a good Bilbo or Frodo would persuade me to buy this (if it isn't sold out by now...)

I kind of love that you have taken those stills from my video. There is a video montage incoming but I have limited internet this week

@optical20 finally had a chance to watch your review and really enjoyed it!
I hope you don't mind that I didn't added the source with your pictures.
Anyway; you're probably the only one that makes the hat look good on the figure.
I'm still not sure if I should get this... The one thing that is holding me back is the headsculpt. I don't know if I like it or not. :s
I have never gotten shipping notice sir tracking and I have received four or five figures straight from them.

Yeah, I've only ordered once from them, but after I paid heard nothing until it showed up on my door. My Nazgul is still without his extra sword though Asmus, several emails and over a year later and still waiting

Asmus, I preordered today from sideshow. Can you confirm I'll get the extra staff?

I have to make up my mind already. When is this expected in Europe? Or will it be released at the same time worldwide?
Some of the pictures in this review look amazing. I don't have a real problem with the nose as some of the reviewers say.

Sideshow confirmed with me that preorder stock will get the three staffs.

If you are worried, drop them a message on Facebook. They seem quite responive depending on the time of day.
Thanks again for the review Lord Turel!
I gave in and put in on pre-order. Hopefully it will get here this month.
Did you actually put something in the hat to give it a more natural look? I just hope my figure has 'enough' hair to cover the back of the headsculpt.
He'll look great with my NECA Gollum despite their scale differences.
As you are a Brit (I presume?), do you have an idea on the actual release date in Europe?

Just watched your Gandalf review and really enjoyed it! You and Jo make a good review team (although it was hard to hear her at times). After watching, I have changed my stance on him to a "pass" to a "possible". I still really wish the face sculpt was more accurate, but everything else about the figure looks really top-notch, and I get more of a hand-crafted feel to him vs. just another mass-produced figure. I feel like my meager LotR sixth-scale collection would be incomplete without a Gandalf. Maybe I get this one in hopes the first prototype headsculpt someday sees the light of day.
Thanks for the great review!

Thankyou
we are aware of the mic issue at the moment and are currently working on changing that. We have just upgraded from a sheet in the backgroud to a full screen. Things are slowly improving. We honestly appreciate every view and sub so you taking the time to sit and write a response really makes us smile. I am also hoping to do more Lotr 1/6 figures in the future Lord Turel

Yes to get the bend we used cocktail sticks broken at the cirrect angle. We managed to get it into that shape without adding anything however I wanted to make sure it stayed in that shape.
