Although I would like to say that I saw this coming, I could not have foreseen this, this...atrocity.
Having seen the Frodo, Gandalf, and Legolas Wacky Wobblers, I suddenly empathize with Sauron's view of Middle Earth.
Someone, someplace, owes Tolkien an apology.
Recommendation
These things are poorly executed, crafted, and envisioned. For the sake of all that is decent, avoid them.
On the other hand--
The Gandalf Premium Format Figure is a different matter. Elegant, evocative, detailed (look at the frayed coat). Years ago in our D&D days, Zimm had a friend who would paint characters for us. They were fascinating; the guy's attention to detail made each piece unique. I still have them 20 odd years later. This statue looks as good. (The lcd light in the staff seems a bit cheesy.)

It reminds me of the first time I read The Hobbit and watched Gandalf manage the trolls. Suddenly, I understand Robert's and Zimm's drive to collect. Buy.
