LEGO® BrickHeadz 40631 Gandalf the Grey and Balrog™

Product Information

And last but not least, we have Aragorn, who is dressed up in his regal coronation armour. The King of Gondor, ascends the throne and truly looks the part. For pairings, it makes sense, and I also like that we get coronation versions of both characters, which we’ve not gotten before in LEGO sets, which give it a bit of a fresh take on both characters. One thing I didn’t really like about Frodo is the massive sword that they’ve given him. The hilt is slightly more accurate to Sting, his Elven sword, but the shape of the blade is completely off.

The combination of slopes, curved slopes and wedge plates looks excellent, creating attractive texture, although not conflicting with the smoother beard too much. I like the shape of Gandalf's pointed hat as well, while the character is equipped with his wooden staff and a sword, famously known as Glamdring. This accessory looks surprisingly accurate to the onscreen weapon. Immerse yourself in the intricate details of the legendary wizard Gandalf the Grey and the fearsome flaming beast Balrog. With this set, you can bring these iconic characters to life, capturing their essence and displaying them with pride. The buildable figures are meticulously designed, ensuring that every aspect of Gandalf's appearance, from his flowing grey robes to his trusty sword and rod, is faithfully recreated. Meanwhile, the Balrog is a sight to behold, with its fiery presence and menacing whip. These figures stand at an impressive 9cm each, making them a striking addition to any LEGO collection. He has a dark green cloak, a gift from Galadriel of Lothlorien, built using effective use of slopes, giving it a believable silhouette. This LEGO set is not only a fantastic addition to your personal collection, but it also makes for a wonderful gift. Whether it's a special occasion or simply a gesture of appreciation, this set is sure to bring joy to any fan of The Lord of the Rings. The magical world of Middle-earth comes to life as you build and display these iconic characters, creating a sense of wonder and adventure that is truly unparalleled.

Saruman's hair/beard is shared with Gandalf the White's, though minus the grey paint applications that Saruman had.
