LEGO® BrickHeadz 40631 Gandalf the Grey and Balrog™

Product Information

Gandalf has four physical variants, and two video game ones. The first physical one is Gandalf the Grey, the second one again is Gandalf the Grey, but without a hat and cape, the third one is Gandalf the White, and the fourth one is a Gandalf the Grey microfigure. In the video game there are two variants of Gandalf, one depicting him as Gandalf the Grey, the other one as Gandalf the White, after his resurrection.

He has a dark green cloak, a gift from Galadriel of Lothlorien, built using effective use of slopes, giving it a believable silhouette.

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. Here’s a comparison with the Arwen minifigure, who has a different outfit, as we’ve never gotten the green coronation dress variant in minifigure form!

Gandalf the Grey (later Gandalf the White), was one the Istari (Quenya: "Wise Ones"), or more commonly, wizards. The other four Istari were Saruman the White, Radagast the Brown, and the Blue Wizards. Gandalf had a particular fondness for Hobbits, adopting some of their ways of life, such as smoking pipe-weed. Frodo & Gollum, 40631 Gandalf the Grey & Balrogand 40632 Aragorn & Arwenwill be released on 1 January 2023and will be exclusive to LEGO.com and your LEGO store Red Lava Dragon Knight | White Lava Dragon Knight | Blue Lava Dragon Knight | Yellow Lava Dragon Knight | Green Magma Miner | Grey Magma Miner | Blue Magma Miner | White Magma Miner I especially like the design of his beard, and how welcoming he looks. The negative space created by the quarter tiles above his mouth is especially pleasing. Gryffindor Boy (Microfigure) | Hufflepuff Boy (Microfigure) | Ravenclaw Girl (Microfigure) | Slytherin Boy (Microfigure) | Draco Malfoy | Harry Potter | Hermione Granger | Ron Weasley | Professor DumbledoreAnd 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. In 79010 The Goblin King Battle and LEGO The Lord of the Rings: The Video Game, Gandalf's sword, Glamdring, is portrayed as a standard longsword, however in LEGO The Hobbit: The Video Game, Glamdring has a unique mold to distinguish it from other similar blades. Naturally, he carries the one ring, an element that has been kept in LEGO’s portfolio despite the early end to the Lord of the Rings theme, perhaps in hopes of its return one day. That day is now!

Frequently Asked Questions

Also, here’s a comparison with the Frodo minifigure! I don’t recall us getting a Frodo minifigure with an Elven brooch, and if the rumours of a minifigure-scale set are true, I’d love to see Frodo with the Lothlorien brooch on his torso.

I understand the design choice to go with a plain green dress, but I think there was a lost opportunity here to really commit, and have her entire dress printed, or at the very least, the upper half to really pay homage to the delicate Elven details on her dress.
