about sideshow's 1/6 gandalf the grey wizard

Gandalf the Grey joins the 1/6th-figure Fellowship, courtesy of Sideshow Toys, hoping his wizardry will conjure 'new' excitement over this continued franchise, made available in two editions: REGULAR and SideShow-EXCLUSIVE - both featuring the likeness of Ian McKellen (which frankly can't see the difference becoz of the beard, innit? heh :p), as well as accessories galore [peep here] with the exclusive item being Balin's journal - which frankly, if really a book with pages, actually rawks for once (rather than just an additional piece of plastic IMHO). both figures are scheduled for a 3rd qtr drop @ US$89.99-per




... me? all i ask for is Gimli, just gimme a 1/6-Gimli. thanks.
