Gandalf the Grey PF

[Husker75]

If the staff lights up and looks good when they put up the pics, I think this could be my first PF ever. Maybe.
If I can somehow find the dough.

 

[Shai]

looks to be one of their best(in that line).

 

[FrodoEyes]

Leave it to Sideshow to give us the best GTG/Ian McKellan representation......ever.

Rolled up sock to go down trouser leg for exclusive 'Party Gandalf'






And have we heard the first rumblings of the obligatory 'likeness' debates

 

[woodsy]

This must be slowly killing you......

In order to have a debate there must be something that even remotely compares. In this case there isn't, so what's the point?

 

[King Darkness]

Dont own any LotR premium formats, but this may be a buy for me.

 

[The Ringer]

There is no arguing with Woodsy on this one.

 

[bumblebee]

This is the Gandalf i've been waiting for. It's a easy buy for me.

There is no arguing with Woodsy on this one.

 

[Anubis]

As much as I hate weighing in on the old SS v weta debates, based on what we can see of the likeness and the overall piece, there is no beating this.

 

[WrathofSauron]

Yep agree with that!! The likeness is superb on this one in fact it's SO FAR the best yet of any line IMO but I'll retain final judgement for the paint job on it!

Love my Weta one but it's going back in the box when this arrives

 

[Shai]

Are there any people that still doubt that Sideshow are destroying the legacy of Weta in statue form. ????

Sideshow GTG= Masterpiece Win.
Weta owners= Fail.

That's funny, I was thinking the exact same thing myself Alan. You bring up a very good point though, a lousy paint job can ruin even the best sculpt. No idea who sculpted this beauty yet though I suspect this is Trevor's handiwork.

As unbelieveable as it seems there are still a few Weta worshippers out there who refuse to accept reality and are happy to settle for 2nd best.

 

[Shai]

And 2nd best is being generous...

 

[tomandshell]

Gandalf the Grey is the best Gandalf, and this looks like the best representation of the character yet. The size, the pose, the costume, the sculpt = the best and last Gandalf we'll ever need.

 

[WrathofSauron]

Nuff said!!

 

[Bullseye]

Without doubt the best Gandalf to date.

Being a 'Fail' has never felt soooooooo good!!

[GondorGirl]

But, in all seriousness, this does look like an absolutely fantastic statue...well done SS
