Gandalf is a The Lord of the Rings minifigure to be released in 2012.
Background
Gandalf the Grey, later known as Gandalf the White, was an Istari. Istari were Maiar that were specially chosen by the Valar to help aid the people of Middle-earth in the fight against evil. The Istari (Men called them Wizards) took the form of Men, but possessed much greater physical and mental power. For over 2,000 years, Gandalf worked most faithfully against the rising powers of evil in Middle-earth.
He tells Frodo Baggins the true nature of the One Ring, and then sets out for Isengard, where he is betrayed by Saruman and kept on the Pinnacle of Orthanc in Isengard. However, he escapes on Gwaihir, one of the great eagles, and is reunited with Frodo in Rivendell. He is part of the Fellowship, and fights alongside them against the Goblins of Moria, but falls with the Balrog on the Bridge of Khazad-Dum.
Notes
- Gandalf's minifigure appearance in 9469 Gandalf Arrives, is of Gandalf the Grey.
