Gandalf the Grey Lord of the Rings Premium Format Sideshow Collectibles #88/1000.
The sixth scale Gandalf that Sideshow produced was great - this one is even better.The wizened visage of the elderly Gandalf is extremely detailed, and a very realistic sculpt. It's not *quite* as realistic and textured as what we've seen produced by Hot Toys, but this style fits the film extremely well.The hair is a separate piece, which is fairly apparent, and probably my only real complaint. H...e's been caught mid speech, with the slightly open mouth and intent expression. He's looking upward, focused intently on the area illuminated by the staff.One of the unique features is the rubbery ends to some of the more fragile strands of hair. While the majority of the head sculpt is solid polystone, the longer 'wig' under the hat has a rubbery feel to the ends. That makes it less likely to break, and allows the hair to fit tightly over the shoulders and cloak.The sculpted hands are properly proportioned, the staff and crystal look great, and the underlying body has been posed and shaped to match the expression and stance from the movie.The base is very solid and sturdy, designed to look like the interior of the cave. Gandalf is on two steps, and there's a name plate just in case you are one of those people that get him confused with Dumbledore.
