Paid my invoice for the standard from kit. Now, we wait.
Wonder when the next batch of premiums will be announced and to what number?
I’m wondering too.

Think it’s telling that nobody has posted pics of their sculpted version yet, will be because it looks nowhere near as good as the rooted. I’m certainly giving myself a big pat on the back for getting the rooted.
I don’t think anyone has them yet. They only started shipping 3 days ago.

The sculpted versions are just starting to ship out for people that ordered them. I believe Kit just sent out the first 20%. I love the rooted one I got but I think people will be happy with the sculpted too.

After all the shrinkage of your head, will it bother you when ur called a "pinhead" or "traffic cone"? There's online therapy now to deal with the shame, just sayin'.
IMO there's nothing wrong with the sculpted and I'm a rooted hair fan. But this isn't Gandalf, Thorin, Elrond, or even Legolas. At least this sculpted u can just pop out the box and go. They did a good job and I wouldn't have minded having the sculpted.
Not everyone can afford art figures and maybe there's folks where the sculpted was a stretch for them.
Respect for the folks who looked over their budget and passed, or had an emergency and gave up their PO.
Jeez this fig cost me near 500$.
Is he worth that? First I said no, then I thought about all the development, sourcing materials, etc. - yeah. I guess. This is a small company compared to HT. It's nothing I could do on my own for that amount. + the licensing. Plus labor. (To be fair tho, I didn't need to buy him a horse too.
)
So is the idea one displays the figure with the scabbard OR the sword? Looks like they are both placed the same position on the belt. Also, what is with the "bundled cloak"? That is not placed on the figure, is it? Would he hold it? weird.

Happily I did get the newer one from Amazon, it's a nice piece. I should have got it a while ago, just to have it.
I haven't even started tinkering with this yet. But some of what you are asking is going to depend on what scene you want to display him as. Like, far as I remember, Aragorn's horse ran off with the scabbard when he entered the halls of the Dead, so he was carrying his sword. The wrapped cloak is carried across his chest, but not all of the time.
I thought the directions came with the fig, which I haven't bothered to look at yet.
And congrats to those paying off their invoices
After all my cloak whining; it occurred to me - one of my fav parts of the fig are Boromir's vambraces. Except, he wouldn't have been wearing them AND the Ranger cloak
. Cr@p I should have ordered a sculpted too.$$$$

What do you mean? The sword goes in the scabbard
He can wear it over his shoulder

Saw these pics on FB. Think the likeness really pops here.
That first one looks like a movie still.

He was wielding Anduril by that point and wearing a new belt and the red undershirt that don’t come with this figure.

That's exactly what I thought. I had to really look it over to tell that it was the figure.
