InArt: The Lord of the Rings - Aragorn 1:6

HyperDrive · Dec 8, 2024

Have spent some time with my siblings’ Aragorn figures.

Wow, what a remarkable release in person.

Only thing that has bothered me is inserting the sculpt onto the neck connector… it knocks the eyes out of position. I’ve tried angling it and other ways of making sure it’s inserted at the back, but the eyes seem to always droop down even when I’m as careful as possible. Any trick to it? Haven’t really followed the nuances of this figure.

You push it down and forward, that's really all there is to it.

Yeah, it's not a great design. Preferable to messing with the hair to get to the eyes a la Gandalf, I suppose, but it could use another tweak.

The eyes get knocked.

Had to redo the hair on mine as after trying to style a bit with water, which initially helped, the hair started to get poofy over time as it lost the glue or whatever product they use at the factory.

Brushed in some Pledge future polish as recommended by some customizers (cut 50% with water).

Before and after

Plan/hope to never touch the hair ever again. :lol

Works for me :dunno

yeah no idea what you guys are doing with your gorilla fingers, but i haven't had any issues knocking the eyes off alignment when doing anything with the head lol.

Well, I don’t have fat f*ck fingers. It’s the first INART figure I’ve experienced a faulty design flaw or QC. I’m probably just doing it wrong.

You are not doing wrong. It happens (and bothers) to me also. It is clearly a design flaw. I have Premium and because of this and the length of the hair I am very dissapointed with this Inart release.

It’s interesting cause I’d like to have the eyes angled up with some sclera showing on the bottom, but every single time – no matter how I position the peg and how carefully I go about inserting it – the eyes shift downwards.

It’s frustrating lol

I appreciate the convenience of being able to reach in and adjust with my fingers, but I wouldn't mind InArt going to a tool like HT has. If the joysticks were a little shorter, there'd be little to no problem with them colliding with the neck joint.

Guide the peg touching the back of inside the head. Make sure it's straight up and down. Not titled one way or another. Works every time for me.

The eyes on my figure occasionally get knocked too out of place too, but this method almost always works for me.

This thing is incredible. I’m almost tempted to get one for myself

Still futzing the outfit and might do something with the hair to give it bangs.

TonTon · Dec 8, 2024

I'm finding the strands of hair seem to give my DSLR a difficult time focusing on the eyes. Took a while to get one that seemed sharp.

DEATHASYLUM · Dec 8, 2024

I wouldn’t touch that hair looks pretty good to me on both figures :rock

Amazing. How did you achieve that soft dry look in the hair instead of the hard and slightly wet that most of the figures come with?
