That head sculpt is fantastic. It might be the most realistic head sculpt I've ever seen in 1/6 scale. Hopefully, releases like this by InArt push Hot Toys to up their game.
Absolutely amazing. I hope they do more figures and get more licenses to characters,, INart in knocking it out of the park everytime they release something. Really appreciate the reviews Justin. Awesome as usual
Magnetic base is a nice way to keep the figure in pose and not showing a big crouch grabber nor a flixible waist grabber, yet I don't know how well it holds the figure even if the whole base is magnetic
THE closest likeness of a portrait I've ever seen on a 1/6th scale figure! It's wild to think that we've come a long way in terms of how life like we get these figures. Though it won't be for another year, I hope to hear your thoughts on the upcoming Anakin figures by Hot Toys, either the Attack of the Clones version or the new Artisan Edition one.
This was an amazing review. I know your not a Lord of the Rings fan, but your enthusiasm for the figure came across hugely. InArt is absolutely fantastic. I can't wait to get my Gandalf and see what they have coming next.
Amazing, can't wait to get mine. The chrome under the head is I think a sly nod to the incredible Kazu Tsuji, one of the best sculptor/makeup fx artists in Hollywood and previous right hand man to Rick Baker. Kazu won an oscar for Darkest Hour. He has a fine art series of larger than life busts, usually perched on chrome bases.
This is glorious!! I dont own any HT Figures, but i would love to get this as a collectable, Gandalf is the GOAT! Its been a long time since i read the books, but im pretty sure Gandalf is a wizard of fireworks and such!! Thats why his cart was full of them. Its perfect to include them. Thats what he is!
I’m gonna be honest… I got into HT because I wanted the absolute closest life like representation of the character in figure form. IA is now that for me and have gotten me SO EXCITED about collecting again. Hopefully HT rooted Artisan editions will be great products and I’ll get the 1s from them that IA don’t have the license for. These are exciting times for collectors. Great review Justin
One thing that will always trip me out with these InArt reviews is when you move the eyes. It always catches me off guard how extra real it looks when they move. Great Review Justin! Hope InArt gets all the licenses they want.
Did some research. And the designs not being on his pants/trousers is actually accurate. While the design that is on Asmus/Sideshow old figure do exists, it seem like it was left off filming and is only present on concept and display props. I have scorched everywhere for a picture of the pants, the clearest on is on Ian's website. It looked like the grey pants with weathering at the bottom. So maybe InArt did get it right lol
Damnnn this looks incredible! Past reviews of this figure made it look pretty meh and kinda like a waste of money. But I absolutely can see the craftsmanship Inart put into the beard and hair for sure :) Super hype to see more of ur reviews Justin!
Sweet zombie Jesus!!! I was happy keeping my LOTR collection restricted to the 1/10 Iron Studios statues, but I might have to pull the trigger on this guy, especially if we get a Saruman to go along with him. I like the look of the Kaustic Plastik Christopher Lee Dracula thats coming, but if InArt did his face sculpt to the same level as this one, I’d have to pick him up.
Great review as always! I am really tempted to take Gandalf cause even if I am MARVEL fan I am never bored to watch LOTR, 50 times :) My question to you, what do you think how this can affect with prices of figures? As I can see this guy is like 500-600USD at this moment, I am not sure if these prices are realistic to these figures... Prices are just going higher and higher as I can see.
@@JustinsCollection even before it was limited for a lower procent of people to collect it... now you have to be very rich person to collect even a few of them during one year... not to mention if you want to collect all of them in one line
Where do you actually buy this? All I see online are ebay links. The queen studios website either says its out of stock or not shipping to u.s. Why is this so hard to buy?
beautiful figure, I opened mine and it's perfect, but I have a problem with the two gripping hands because the magnets are wrongly placed and I can't use my hands. Is there any possibility, if I live in the UK, to get new ones and return the damaged ones? Apart from that, I am satisfied with the quality - it is truly unrivaled
I really can't wait for this to arrive. I wonder how long it will take Inart to complete the Fellowship? I mean, let's be honest, we preordered Gandalf and Aragorn, and there's bound to be a Legolas and Gimli, along with some hobbits! And how would we make our memes without Boromir?
Fantastic review Justin I am loving the presentation that inart are doing for these figures in the box. Everything is next level so far. Can’t wait to see the inart figures in your collection.
Thanks for the review and comparison. I am happy to stick with my Asmus. Inrt looks great, but I like what I have and the great display he came with. But upon doing some additional photo comparisons, I think Asmus Gandalf the White has the best likeness.
Great review Justin, I just ordered a figure from Pop Collectibles with your discount code with a payment plan, do you know if they send the figures before it has been payed? That was my first figure so I'm not sure
Fantastic figure, great review! Thanks so much. A suggestion. Instead of permanently trimming the string on his robe, you could wrap some of the extra length by wrapping it around his neck and over his shoulders. The beard should hide that nicely.
Great review! I am looking forward to getting mine and Aragorn also. A question: Would the stance you used in the light box be okay for the magnetic base, or would it be too wide? Thanks!
Great video Justin cannot wait to get mine but I got second batch. Do you think Inart will be able to keep up the quality throughout the different batches?
This figure is so tempting. The LOTR series is the only one I'd consider tempting of all of the Inart figures announced. He is so very very tempting, I wish I had the room.
All kinds of quality control issues in the latest batch: crappy rings, ill-fitting hands. Inart isn’t quite there yet. Quality without consistency doesn’t inspire confidence.
Sideshow hasn't shown this figure so I don't know where to get him, but I did get the Gandalfvthe White version ordered with the horse, if it's as nice as this is I'm going to be thrilled. I don't collect LOTR characters but I wanted this figure because I had my grandmother read me all the books when I was young child and it has a lot of sentimental value to me. If Innart goes to this much detail on their figures I will gladly switch from Hot Toys or at least this should have Hot Toys feel a little pressure to up their game. There's no pleather to worry about with this figure which is great as far as longevity, this figure will double in value in an instant and I don't know why sideshow didn't release this. The Asthmus version is just a bad knock off.
Honestly I think the Asmus head sculpt is better, especially the hair. His hair and beard make him look like an old big foot. Overall I think Asmus Gandolf is better, though I do think the stand and hat are better. Otherwise I think Asmus is better
Wow how did they nail the beard i watch lord of rings earlier this year and my favorite frase (i think thats how you spell it) that you've ever said is definitely CHONKY BOI.
Hello Justin, will you be comparing inart gandalf to asmus gandalf the white? That being asmus' latest release, I believe that would be a more fair comparison in the defense of asmus.
It sounded like Inart has outdone themselves with the Gandalf the Grey Figure.That Figure really does looked exactly like the Character from the Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2002) movie. His Facesculpting, long Hair, and long Beard looked realistically Wonderful. And his Fabric Outfit & Hat looked Totally Cool as well. Not to mention it came with 8 set of Hands, Accessories included, and a very Awesome Base Stand. Very Entertaining and Informative as usual. Thanks Justin once again for sharing.
I think you'll find that most of the inaccuracies aren't a thing. I believe there are holes in his sleeves for his thumbs to go through. So that just leaves the pants which I couldn't find any reference for
I only wish he possessed the ring of fire Narya. Even though we don't see him use it until return of the king, he's always had it with him ever since he arrived on middle earth
Man this is a pocket burner £500+ with out import duties, but thinking to get one ToysWonderland still have them seems the only place not sold out....but wheres his mithril scarf? Not a deal breaker but would have totally completed him and a shame he's not got one at all or does he?
He has one in each film Fellowship to Return but more so as in seen in the Hobbit films but he is always seen wearing a long scarf, that said im still gunna get this work of art! Probably the best 1/6 and his pipe fits in the staff.....awesome
Now that i am looking at this 1/6 Gandalf with rooted hair and beard, i will never again accept sculpted facial hair. That beard is absolutely perfect. i didn't think it possible.

YOU SHALL NOT PASS!…. on this figure
Haha this comment wins today!
I did. But i did order Aragorn. Idk why. Im not a big lotr fan. Like it. Think theyre great movies
That head sculpt is fantastic. It might be the most realistic head sculpt I've ever seen in 1/6 scale. Hopefully, releases like this by InArt push Hot Toys to up their game.
So good!
@@JustinsCollection
I love the non-sculpted hair. This is so perfect!
Absolutely amazing. I hope they do more figures and get more licenses to characters,, INart in knocking it out of the park everytime they release something.
Really appreciate the reviews Justin. Awesome as usual
So freaking real!
inart is CRAZY, i absolutely cannot wait for Superman and I hope they do Wonder Woman as well! Those two are instant pre-orders.
Dude me too!
Magnetic base is a nice way to keep the figure in pose and not showing a big crouch grabber nor a flixible waist grabber, yet I don't know how well it holds the figure even if the whole base is magnetic
Agreed!
INART is just another level, so awesome to see their figures, especially in your channel, you do a pretty good job Justin!
Their own level!
Another level price too
INART is clearly on a roll.
Agreed!

For real it’s the most impressive sculpt I’ve ever seen
Gandalf carrying his own hands in a bag 💀
And the 1/6th scale book, that's so awesome!
Lol
as in "Hand"bag?? 😁😁😁
Received him yesterday. He is the best 1/6 figure ever. Period.
Nice!
This was an amazing review. I know your not a Lord of the Rings fan, but your enthusiasm for the figure came across hugely. InArt is absolutely fantastic. I can't wait to get my Gandalf and see what they have coming next.
Thank you! I watched the first movie before filming actually!
@@JustinsCollectiontrust me you're going to love them, I would advise you to watch all the movies! 😊

The Face Looks Realy Realstic Amazing Figure over all And a Amazing review like always❤
Thanks a ton!
Wow. InArt has yet to miss
Agreed!
Christ, that is fantastic!!
He so is!
That is one brilliant figure.

Where can one get this If you are late to pre order? Been checking one sixth kit but they don’t have it on there
Not sure!
Looks like Gandalf didn't arrived late nor was he early, he arrived precisely when he meant to
Haha yes!
Incredible figure...that Book, the face, hair, insane detail.
Incredible!
Waiting for Gandalf and Aragorn!
Must have as LotR fan
Yes!
I really can't wait for this to arrive. I wonder how long it will take Inart to complete the Fellowship? I mean, let's be honest, we preordered Gandalf and Aragorn, and there's bound to be a Legolas and Gimli, along with some hobbits! And how would we make our memes without Boromir?

INART are in a league of their own for head sculpts...
Agreed!
Fantastic review Justin I am loving the presentation that inart are doing for these figures in the box. Everything is next level so far. Can’t wait to see the inart figures in your collection.
Next level for sure!
These Asmus figures from lord of the rings are perfection !! The face molds are immaculate and so realistic , love my Legolas he’s perfect ♥️
Oh this one is from a company called INART not Asmus
Great review on wizard magneto ❤
Lol thanks!
Wow, InArt is pushing out some real bangers ……I am happy for those that get this masterpiece…..come on Game of Thrones……Let’s Go!!!!!!
Agreed!
Amazing figure! Anxiously awaiting their "The Batman" figure.
Me too!
Thanks for the review and comparison. I am happy to stick with my Asmus. Inrt looks great, but I like what I have and the great display he came with. But upon doing some additional photo comparisons, I think Asmus Gandalf the White has the best likeness.
Copium
No problem, happy to help
Looks amazing. Now I just hope I get mine even though I ordered through Toys Wonderland, per your (previous) recommendation. Nice review!
Nice, let me know if you have any issues feel free to message me on Insta! Just fyi I don’t recommend stores, just advise where I shop personally!
Thanks man@@JustinsCollection
Same here
I ordered it based on Justin recommendation
I hope I get it soon😢

Oh no!

Great review Justin, I just ordered a figure from Pop Collectibles with your discount code with a payment plan, do you know if they send the figures before it has been payed? That was my first figure so I'm not sure
Thank you! They would ship when you've paid for it I assume.
Outstanding figure, not a line I am going down, but very nice! Great review as always!
Fair!
You sons of bitches! A Real metal Glamdring *AND* the one ring!? This is next level.
Yes!
Fantastic figure, great review! Thanks so much.
A suggestion. Instead of permanently trimming the string on his robe, you could wrap some of the extra length by wrapping it around his neck and over his shoulders. The beard should hide that nicely.
True I could!
I have Gandalf and Aragorn pre-ordered with Toys Wonderland, but I've heard bad things about the company and I will probably never get them... 😅
Fingers crossed it all goes smooth!

Honestly I think the Asmus head sculpt is better, especially the hair. His hair and beard make him look like an old big foot. Overall I think Asmus Gandolf is better, though I do think the stand and hat are better. Otherwise I think Asmus is better
Yeah definitely Gandolf looks great by Asmus. INART's Gandalf on the other hand is perfection!
Wow how did they nail the beard i watch lord of rings earlier this year and my favorite frase (i think thats how you spell it) that you've ever said is definitely CHONKY BOI.
They killed it!
He's perfect. In full kit it just looks like Sir Ian is standing there.
Perfection!
Hello Justin, will you be comparing inart gandalf to asmus gandalf the white? That being asmus' latest release, I believe that would be a more fair comparison in the defense of asmus.
No sorry this video is already complete in my eyes. That would not be a fair comparison as that is a different version of Gandalf.
is there any information about price and release date?

I think you'll find that most of the inaccuracies aren't a thing. I believe there are holes in his sleeves for his thumbs to go through. So that just leaves the pants which I couldn't find any reference for
Why wouldn’t put wires in the robe? It’s only a 9.9 out of 10 😊 great review as always.
