From the Archives: Balrog Battle Gandalf

Recommended music: Howard Shore – The Bridge of Khazad Dum

For this #TolkienThursday post from the archives, we’ve got one more figure to share from the Mines of Moria with the ToyBiz Lord of the Rings Balrog Battle Gandalf!

This version of Gandalf was released in both the fifth and final wave of carded series figures in The Two Towers line, but was also brought back for the Epic Trilogy line. It features a completely new sculpt from what had previously been released for the various versions of Gandalf the Gray.

The figure has well-sculpted rubbery robes and came equipped with an all-new staff sculpt (doesn’t actually light up to intimidate the Balrog), as well as Gandalf’s sword, Glamdring. Another unique feature of this particular Gandalf is his electronic sound base, which, with the press of a button, delivers Gandalf’s memorable line: “YOU SHALL NOT PASS!”
