Sometimes the simpler the outfit looks, the easier it is to make a hash of. When making something like The Batman outfit or Dune stillsuits, you REALLY have to nail all the details as they generally all fit together in a way that each part is essential.After my Aragon hair experience - and I ended up making a study of it practically - as far as just the fiber and cut of the hair, I've seen one, or two sculpts so far that had hair that looked like the prototype. And I don't get that. I don't get how you can have a production table with mohair hair all laid out and not see the texture of your base fiber is all over the place.
I don't get like with the Potter figs why you would use cheap pegs.
Having seen Batman and Harry Potter unboxings looks like insanely detailed accessories, so I don't get why Legolas would get short changed with a cheap cloak. It's crossed my mind whoever works on these figs is really into amazing accessories but seems to trip when dealing with costumes at times. Like Aragorns tunic being a tad short. Or the elven cloak being so unfinished.
For sure I'd only put a deposit based on a shown InArt prototype and then hope for the best. At least until their QC stabilizes.
A lot of Aragorn's outfit is easily to overlook unless you are looking for the details or you notice something on the off chance. Take for example the quiver; the straps are actually connected to the quiver by the same Gondorian buckles that Faramir has on his cloak neck ties. For me it's details like that which make the Aragorn costume really interesting as it hints to his lineage and travelling as he has already fought alongside the men of Gondor and Rohan prior to The War of The Ring.
I wish InArt had included that detail but I've already sacrificed the buckles off the cloak from my Asmus Faramir...
