I disagree, the likeness seems to really pop under harsher light that shows the fine creases in the face.

I don't have this in hand yet because I waffled between sculpted and rooted, having ordered the Gandalf already. Really glad I went for the rooted. My issue with InArt rooted still persists. The paint is just to shiny, and the sculpt not HD enough. I ended up selling my sculpted Joker and tracking down a 2 pack for a decent price for that exact reason.

Speaking of diminishing returns - and maybe cutomizers can comment - I've got so much product in mine to tamp down the volume I wonder what the point is vs. sculpted. I always thought rooted if well done needs minimal product that's kind of the selling focus.
Oh well maybe one day I'll have the skill set to just redo the whole thing. At least InArt has plenty of dwarf hair on hand.

Finally opened mine up last night. Man... the hair product they sprayed on the hair to keep the shape felt like super glue. Hard as a rock !
Took a lot of water to wash that out... still messing with it to get it the way I want it to be, but i now understand why alot of people didn't mess with it. For mine, the top of the head was styled and pinhed inwards, and the head shape looked more like a pinecone. Had to wash it out and reshape it to have a more natural rounder shape to his top dome.
Also i noticed on mine, that the hair seems a little shorter then everyone else. Hair length barely touches the shoulders. Overall still very cool looking figure, but need time and patience to make it look great.

Honestly just a small amount of water and rubbing it in gently with my finger to the areas that needed it (top and upper sides.)
Thanks for this! Ended up getting some paper towels to help with friction and make my thumbs less painful, but it worked. Had to keep rotating and work it around as the lid on one side slowly pushed out so eventually all sides of the lid move little by little. Can use that head display to put the head on and messed with the hair a bit now. @Wor-Gar Give this method a try if you haven't been able to fully remove the clear casing.

Yeah the hair on mine is shorter than I would have wanted, tho with a cloak on it's harder to tell with the extra fabric at the neck. I've got hair envy for the folks who basically didn't have to do much.
I don"t get why InArt didn't use a straighter fiber either, they managed with the hair of the Harry Potter figs.
I’m struggling to get a pic of this that represents how it looks in hand on the shelf. I’ll try again later but here he is geared up. I’m using an Asmus elven cloak because I didn’t feel like unraveling the IA plus I like the more vibrant green of it.
It seems that there are several posts after mine echoing my theory that it’s a complete crapshoot as to what you are going to get with the rooted hair one I’ve seen some that look so bad, I feel fortunate to have gotten one that looked decent and I still spent hours reworking it too.
My brother also got a “pinhead” version and to the person who got hair that’s too short , man that’s a tough one. Can’t even do much about that id honestly wrote them and ask for an exchange

Does anyone know who could do a proper custom Elven Cloak for Aragorn- I love this figure- but the Elven cloak feels cheap.
I totally agree.Almost beginning to think you've gotten a completly different figure than me. Agree with the consistency of getting everyone the exact same hair, but i also can imagine that it is an almost impossible task to pull off. Like Gandalf i have seen some photos where he just have way to much hair and a gigantic curl to both sides. Either way i absolutely love mine and didnt even fuzz with it to much. I also think the proportions are on point same goes for the tailoring. As for the sculpted vs rooted. The sculpted might be good to but takes away the realism for me. Its what you prefer at the end. But if you place him next to a rooted Gandalf. I mean its going to look weird, one rooted and one sculpted.
Think this is easily a 9 out of 10. Almost perfect, but there's always room for improvements
But maybe i have lower standarts
Yeah there’s too far and not far enough. Either too much neck or not enough neck.

Order received from KGHobby. It took 11 days to arrive. Can confirm A) the figure is gorgeous. B) no ranger cape included.
Very nice. What product did you use, any tips how to get it to look this good?
