Collecting The Precious: Sideshow Collectibles Gandalf the Grey Maquette Review
During Toy Fair 2010, Sideshow Collectibles announced they would be
going back to their roots in their The Lord of the Rings license by
once again doing maquettes of the characters in Middle-earth. What
Sideshow told us was that this line would give us different aspects of
the characters we have grown to love. Also during the video from Toy
Fair we got a tease of the concept drawings of several early pieces in
the line.

castmates Sir Ian McKellen, Cate Blanchett, and Elijah Wood by joining
the cast of the highly-anticipated prequel The Hobbit. The actress

EMPIRE Magazine HOBBIT Cover
Staffer MrCere called it last Thursday when the first images of The
Hobbit were released by EW.com. He said, in this industry, it is
highly unusual for just one single media outlet to get photos. Expect
a few similar, but slightly different publicity shots to make the
rounds with other publications in the next few weeks. Well, here we
are, a few days later, and EMPIRE magazine is sharing their new cover
featuring Gandalf and Bilbo!
