Yeah, nah. Looks like it’s just the standard Aragorn for me.

Damn I should have waited and got my 10% discount. Oh well, the difference is negligible.
Brilliant we have so many mature collectors, I thought it was just me, now I dont feel so aloneAs we are age confessing, 63 here.
Wow I just noticed you joined in 2006, 3 years before me and I thought I had been a long time haha
Few have survived before me...
Few will outlive me...

You ever find a figure leaning precariously against the door of your detolf... and you sit there, wondering if you can open it fast enough to catch the figure before if falls to the ground?
You'll never win that draw.
I don't have to wonder, what with my cat-like reflexes and brilliant hand-eye coordination.
BTW, if anyone gives you any more ageist lip, I've got your back. Just point me in the right direction and I'll be there.....eventually....

According to kit, Legolas is already a big seller as far as InArt numbers go.
I think anyone with even a minor criticism should have waited to PO and let InArt know what we expect at this price instead of setting alarms in the middle of the night to secure an order as early as possible to then just hope they decide to improve things out of the kindness of their heart.
Now that the rose tinted goggles have fallen and the scrutinising has commenced, it’s clear that changes are required to justify this price point.
I’m holding out to see GunDamit’s price since they’re usually inexplicably cheaper than the rest, but the likelihood of a TT InArt Legolas and even a JND version is giving me pause.

If Legolas is a big seller, that means InArt will likely also do Boromir and Gimli. They already have the bodies ready from Thorin and obviously everyone else.
And if they're likely to keep making this line because it makes them money, it makes me that much more likely to pass on Legolas. I've been trying to convince myself this thing is so much better than my Asmus Helm's Deep Legolas that I absolutely need it despite the price point, and I can't do it.
I keep thinking about all of the problems people keep having with the rooted hair, how inconsistent it is due to the poor quality control. There's been quite a few bad Aragorns and Gandalfs out there. If I spent $550 on Legolas and it wasn't absolutely perfect, I don't even know how angry I'd be.
I want this Legolas, but I'd rather save the money and put it towards a sculpted hair Boromir that I know will get to me looking like it's supposed to. Maybe I'll have some left over to put towards that nice looking Negan, or a sculpted hair Snape.

Ya gotta go with the ol' folded piece of paper trick there. Get it solid enough to hold the figure's weight while still being thin enough to slid through the crack of the door...
Not that I'm speaking from experience, of course.

It's hard to gage how much better it is that Asmus. It clearly has a better portrait...but it's not 300 dollars better.
I am sticking with my Asmus. Aragorn was a one and done for me and I am done with Inart.
Legalose will sell. just not as well as Aragorn or Gandalf and with that price, won't even be close.
This Legolas isn't as soft as the Asmus one though

I use a plastic ruler. Open the door a fraction and slide the ruler in to hold the figure then open the door. It usually works but SS Grievous is so unstable it hits the shelf regardless so thank God for HT, can't wait to bin him.
