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

    Depends. The honeymoon is over. Now wait and see if they rethink the feedback they've gotten, and I'm in a corner crying because I missed Legolas.

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

    Arguably since I've only got one InArt - yes, some very nice accessories; at least with Aragorn. But HT at their best sculpt-wise is certainly equal or better, as well as some costumes. E.g. the latest Obi-Wan uses better cloth than InArt. Suspect when pleather is used the quality is about the...

    JND Studios: Aragorn 1/3 Statue

    What are you talking about, it's a superb portrait of Danny Trejo!:ROFLMAO:

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

    :exactly: IMO they are as premiere as those 600$ Italian sneakers. Not a wholly bad product, but way overhyped at this point, with other companies leveling up. And you are not doing anyone favors by having good customer service; but InArt acts like you are bothering them if you have an issue -...

    1/6 Hot Toys - DX26 - Obi-Wan Kenobi Series : Obi-Wan Kenobi

    My second Obi arrived today - this is the DX when my waitlist converted (and I forgot about the other one). The hair is so well done even if a "rooted" came out, I can't see the point.

    1/6 Hot Toys -TMS125 - Ahsoka series: Baylan Skoll

    Yeah, and my second Obi arrived today; but was delayed in transit a few day - after a delay shipping when I paid him off. Tho my shipping delay was "weather related" and it's true a big front is crossing the U.S. + fires in the East.

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

    Based on Aragorn alone, the only thing I can think of is maybe spending a lot of time on the base sculpt (unlike HT which may release several versions of a character before they get it right - although IMO neither Gandalf or Aragorn are 100%, and Legolas to me looks more like a relation) and the...

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

    InArt's attitude towards its customers in the event of a problem is ridiculous IMO - expecting the customer to absorb the cost for a "premium" figure and to resolve any issues. Especially for a relatively new company who takes forever to deliver. Good images and proof of purchase should be all...

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

    Thought about it. Just can't work up the enthusiasm for InArt at the moment. There always seems to be something, like now the sculpted doesn't have ears. In theory that's meaningless but it just feels like more corner cutting. I'm still waiting on TOPO's cloak. And TBH HT sculpted hair blows...

    Questions for Asmus

    They have plenty of tests/artworks of that. Thorin would have ended up looking like Old Man Winter; and they already had an issue - of their own making - of having Gimli be a more comic figure than was ever in the books. Tho for me the beard thing was never a big deal. I'm sorry that Jackson &...

    Star Wars: Andor (April 22, 2025)

    It's worse than folks realize. When the Matrix exploded in popularity fashion designers got inspired. Better be prepared to receive dusters as presents and random strangers spouting rebel slogans. Meanwhile there will be Andor Pez containers. Just give me some beautiful HTs.

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

    Either that, or U.S. city streets will have stalls that along with the cheap watches and Tshirts, there's knockoff 1/6 scale figs. 😁 Anyway InArt is so slow about production there will be another administration in charge by the time Thorin is put out, if ever.:monkey3 I just need ASMUS'...

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

    LOL for me - who time to time re-imagines scenes that may have happened - well, Aragorn can't hold anything except what InArt designed for him, so I sourced some ASMUS hands. Still waiting on the TOPO cloak. Then I thought about it for a while, and sourced ASMUS' Aragorn vambraces. Yes, the...

    Star Wars: Andor (April 22, 2025)

    Yeah, I figure he will, adding to the pathos "I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I'll never see" :monkey2 :monkey2 :monkey2 Don't have the words for how awesome this character is. The intelligence, complexity, acceptance of guilt, the ruthlessness, vision, and sadness. Fortunately...

    Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning (2025)

    Me neither, tho I was also told you can watch Part 1. I get tired of that waiting cr@p.

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

    Yep. At the same time a lot of folks were getting sculpts with fine curls, mine had this kind of coarse mess like the person was afraid I wouldn't have enough hair, and jammed as much fiber on as they could. Well, it turned out alright for me after a lot of work; and fortunately Aragorn had a...

    Like, Dain. Not to mention Thorin's BOFA look. And some random elves.

    Star Wars: Andor (April 22, 2025)

    Yeah but we don't know how Luthen ends - or doesn't, how Mon Mothma escapes...I'm just gonna assume S2 is as epic as S1.

    Captain America 4 New World Order - May 3, 2024

    Agree. My short version of this is IMO it was beyond stupid to not take advantage of the snark - and real life friendship - of Mackie and Stan - and make a frenemy action film - plenty of actual comic material to draw on for inspiration. Then for me the whole Bradley thing; based on a comic -...

    Thunderbolts - July 26, 2024

    I liked it better than the Cap trailer but that's just me. It just felt like the Cap trailer was trying too hard to re-create a combo of WS/CW; or something like that. Or maybe I can't get past the memories of the leaden TFAWS with the same showrunner writing the Cap film.:pfft: Whatever, I'll...
