Similar Minifigures
Gandalf the White (lor063), Gandalf with Cape (lor001), Saruman (lor059).
Collectibility
High for completionists of the Dimensions line, but low as a standalone figure due to its high production volume.
History
First appeared in the Lord of the Rings theme in 2012, repurposed for the Dimensions expansion into toys-to-life in 2015.
Interesting Facts
In the game, Gandalf is one of the three 'Starter' characters including Batman and Wyldstyle, making him mandatory for gameplay.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on its translucent blue 'G' rune toy tag base; pairs well with the brick-built Gateway from the game.
Modification Potential
Excellent for Lord of the Rings MOCs; the beard and cape are highly versatile for custom wizard or elder characters.
Overall Assessment
A quintessential character for any fantasy fan, though the example shown is missing key components (Hat/Hair and Staff).
