The only con is that I wish the pipe were functional (however, for legal reasons, I can understand why it's not). From The Hobbit film series, this Staff of Gandalf the Grey is an authentic replica of the movie prop. All that being said, I'm looking forward to reading about the weapons when people start getting them and seeing the final products in photos! By the time Gandalf came to Bag End to council Frodo concerning the One Ring, the staff clutched the wizard’s pipe in a crown of snapped roots where once a crystal had nested, and from its shaft hung a pouch of the Shire-grown pipeweed of which Gandalf had become so fond. Gandalf Staff Detail - It was once owned by Radagast the Brown, crafted from an upturned, twisted sapling once crowned with twig and root-like protrusions, but now all broken and worn down.

Made from high-quality PVC with an acrylic crystal on top which lights up to perfectly replicate Gandalf’s staff. On the flip side, it doesn't bother me that Gandalf's staff is made of polyresin because they are recreating the look of wood. Pushed into the side of the staff is a nail spike which Gandalf uses as a tobacco tamper, and once used to scratch a rune into the door of Bilbo Baggins home in Hobbiton.This is a full sized, licensed replica that measures at 74" in height, finishing it with an authentic heavy weight in the hand. Well looks like WETA has the Staff of both Gandalf and Radagast up for presale and limited to 1000 both look way nice! If you really want good quality, you pay for something like the UC museum collection, or the Weta ones that are 5k. But I was looking at options for Gandalf's staff, and I wanted some advice from people who have bought prop replicas from both companies, as I have not.

It would be nice if weta made good quality steel weapons at just a smidge more than UC, but I just don't think there is a market for them. The Staff of Gandalf the Grey for sale is a detailed replica of the one carried by Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit movies. The attached polyresin pipe and spike replicas are removable, and the staff comes with a polystone wall display that matches the display design of United's other replicas from The Hobbit.
