This sculpture is bearing all the magic power of Gandalf, especially during the duel with the Balrog of Morgoth at the bridge of Khazad-Dûm. It is a unique artwork and truly detailled made, with the exact mimic of Sir Ian. I am so proud to own #7 now, which I recently bought from a British Artseller. I think, if JRR Tolkien was still alive, he would so much appreciate what all the people at WetaNZ have achieved. Hide.

This sculpture is an amazing achievement not merely for its accurate likeness to Ian McKellen's manifestation of Gandalf the Grey, but especially for its dynamic form offering a feast of eye-appeal from any and every angle. What Gary Hunt has accomplished with the frock and flowing cloak is nothing short of artistic wizardry. The outstanding patinas used to achieve the varied coloration also merits high praise. And here's a tidbit for those who have seen only this lovely picture of the prototype -- there was an initial production delay during which time the sword shown here was refabricated into an exacting replica of Glamdring. Very nice! Sir Ian proudly claims ownership of sculpture #1 in the edition, and I can assure everyone that am equally proud to have #8 in the edition as my very own -- a sculpture sure to go down in history among LoTR artworks as an item to be prized as highly the Arkenstone itself was among all the hoarded treasures of Smaug the Golden! Hide.
