Wow! Great job Neko! I really need to learn how to style the hair. You got yours to look amazing!

Great photos and wip on weathering Aragorn! Something we really shouldn't have to do at this price range and paying premium price. Should come weathered out of the box. But seeing all these Aragorns is really making me want mine delivered already! BUT it's due tomorrow. So not much longer of a wait and besides I'm trying to finish up my Lord of Darkness Tim Curry custom tonight so I can put all my attention on Aragorn tomorrow!

This bugs the **** out of me. This is the same problem I had with Gandalf. I can't believe they didn't have a fix for this. Why are we spending so much money on these high-end figures with 'premium' headsculpts if the hands don't even fit on the wrist pegs?!?!
It's an issue with joker, as the real metal weapons are too heavy for the joints and magnets.

I see...putty and electrical tape in my future....because an Aragorn that can't hold a sword up doesn't scream heroic.
And deciding whether I have the $#@% to cut a few bangs into my premium headsculpt makes a huge difference.

Well damn, I hope mine comes looking like the first one cause the third's hair is pretty rough.
Even the eye position plays a huge part in contributing to the likeness. The third photo has his eyes looking up, and it seems the most “off” to me anyway.
Thanks for sharing the pics and the comparisons. I don’t think I am going to be disappointed when this one arrives.

good ideaAmazing work Neko. Time to troll FB and say this is how my Aragorn arrived in the packaging.
It's all just marketing.
They pride themselves on magnets and communication, but fail miserably at both.
Well, considering Kit's only secured 17% Premium so far, I'd say a lot.
5 months I reckon before I get mine.
I'm not really in a hurry though. But I do need that Threestep Interstellar ASAP
By the time you get yours, InArt might start including the ranger cloak.

They will. Another universal signal of love. They should get the rights to the behind the scenes Hobbit footage of
Martin Freeman, make a .GIF and send it to anyone who complains.
How does one acquire Neko-sized balls? I know ordering multiples takes some of the fear away about customizing

The 17% was the first set he sent out and now sending out more yesterday and today, so not sure where his sent allotment will be at now for the Premium.Well, considering Kit's only secured 17% Premium so far, I'd say a lot.

I'm honestly surprised I will be getting my Aragorn this soon since I made this last cut off with how long The Batman has been taking. This release seems to be a slight step up so far IMO.
Definitely right about that ThreeStep Interstellar. Need that yesterday!
See, that's a major issue with Inart as well.
Inconsistency
For the same price, one person can get a vastly inferior figure from somebody else.
Some of the Bruce Wayne sculpts look ridiculous, and completely phoned in.
There were notable variations for the rooted Jokers as well. Some entirely green, and others with heavy brown roots... different lengths, styling, and volume...
Some Jail cell Jokers look abominable compared to others.
I have to say, that's some absolutely stellar work man. That's how you work a figure!
Beautiful.
Curious about the burning technique. Do you sort of wave it around?
How long a distance do you keep? and How long do you let it stay in one spot?

You buy cheap dolls from the dollar store and practice until you know what you are doing.
Yeah they seem to have sped things up which is good. I guess we'll see Superman soon, and maybe Joker will indeed make its original ETA
I do think I'll grab that Joker 2 pack if I get another chance. @Kit Chen I think I preferred how you'd open the order window on occasion. It allowed me to get Aragorn after much deliberation.
