Wandering Middle-earth’s winding paths is the travelling conjurer Gandalf, known by many names to many peoples in many lands, though few could guess the true extent of his powers or purpose. His fireworks may delight many a Hobbit youngster, but the Grey Wizard is no mere magician or trickster. Gandalf is old beyond reckoning and wise the reach of mortal men. Where Middle-earth’s lords and kings brood over the fortunes of their realms, Gandalf’s gaze is cast across a wider canvas and it is the greater good of all the world’s free peoples that he is concerned with.

Needless are none of the acts of the Wizard, so when he counsels Dwarf-king-in-exile Thorin Oakenshield to enlist the services of Mister Bilbo Baggins as a burglar in his quest to reclaim his birthright from the dragon Smaug, it is done with a keen insight into the sheltered Hobbit’s qualities and an understanding of how crucial these will be to their success. The Hobbit impresses Thorin Oakenshield little upon their first meeting, but, despite his misgivings, the Dwarf knows enough of Gandalf to credit him with good reasoning, and indeed it will not be long before Bilbo Baggins’s mettle is tested and the Wizard’s wisdom proven.

The Life Size Weta statue of Gandalf the Grey is a 6ft fibreglass statue in a similar pose to our 1/6 scale Gandalf the Grey statue. It was sculpted by Steven Saunders and created by the same artists at Weta Workshop who worked on The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.

Read an interview with Steven about creating collectibles and about sculpting the life size Gandalf the Grey.​
 
They had this at comic-con last year. It's cool looking but talk about no space for something like this and the price is way out of my range.
 
I would say this was a very odd choice but this seems similar to the life-size Darth Malgus piece that SS is offering. Basically it was created for marketing and since the pieces exist to make additional why not throw it out there and see if you can't get a few bites. I suspect the Gandalf is the same. Its actually really cool that they do this and Tim has not so subtlely hinted that the trolls are for sale as well. But yeah, do what with this exactly??
 
Looks awesome! If I had a mansion and were super rich I'd get it. Needs an EX hat though!
