Looks cool as hell but I already know what my wife’s reaction to this would be.

Looks amazing. IS went quiet for a while. Great to see new product from them.

Looks awesome.

However, very disappointing. Saruman over Gandalf? REALLY lol?

Is Infinity only doing villains for LOTR busts? Will there be a ton of people who will pay 4Gs or more for Saruman? Doubt it, ain’t no way they sell the 200 or whatever it will be lol. I hope this line doesn’t die out before we get the stars of LOTR because of lack sales. It’s looking to be that way. Another head scratching decision from Infinity.

That's a pretty terrible take. This will easily sell out if the ES is 200

A Gandalf would easily sell out at that kind of edition size, but I’m not so sure about a Saruman. Especially with how the market is nowadays.

While I don't agree that it's a "bad" choice to make this character - in response to those who do think it's a poor choice.....over the last few years, and considering most of the major statue studios are Asian or Asia based, I've come to the conclusion most of these studios have an extremely poor or immature business sense.

They tend to act like children, and make things because they can, rather than because they should. Their appraisal of the customer base, the needs and wants of the customer are a distant secondary thought - if it's given any thought at all.....at best it's a crapshoot with some meaningful "hits" - but a substantially high level of misses.

The only genre where I feel figure companies have a handle on things is in the 1/6 realm and the scale Anime figure genre.....but statues.....nope.

They clearly need to hire Forps to be their art director, and his artsy eye will lead them to the promised land
