Well, I POd, after watching the vids since yesterday. Had talked myself out of him. But he looks great and like a commenter said, he's the closest we have to a Gray Jedi, or is a Gray Jedi. Fascinating character IMO. Plus, costume details - almost medieval - he's gonna pop color-wise on my...

I'm not against all this, out of hand. Because, PJ & co. can write; plus WETA's sense of aesthetic. Tho at the same time am afraid of PJ's inner child - like always wanting a female fighting elf. Which I don't object to; except PJ had to be shouted down over having Arwen show up as a warrior...

Hopped over to Amazon and got UC's statue holding the fragments. So that one comes with fragments but that piece is 1/5 ----er. Anyway if you are displaying and fiddle with perspective it's a nice effect. Someone had a picture here, I believe. Other than that, I'd just varnish the pieces to a...

Congrats on getting him in, finally. That only happened with me once, with a ASMUS Gandalf that for some reason got sent back and forth from the local office to the hub and back again - pretty irritating. I had to call and complain how they could lose something that was clearly from another...

Yeah I had to destroy a WETA piece - took a sledgehammer - made me kind of sick to do it. Seeing the paint is so thin makes me nervous. Guess I got off lucky I messed with the sculpt so much - tried to protect the face but it got wet anyway from shampoos and rinsing. I sure was unhappy when I...

Yah, just can't bring myself to PO Legolas, for various reasons. IMO they did a fine job with Gandalf's hair, far as I can tell e.g. it looks pretty luxurious, which Thorin & dwarves should have. Plus for me aside from this being my favorite ME character, there's the axe and cloak. Edit: I'd...

Nice pic he looks great. Plus no hair hellishness. (Which I know doesn't happen to all!)

This give me a faint hope I might get a Thorin in 2033. And for those ordering Legolas 2042, because of the complicated hair and need to re-work the Council robe.

Seems like less and less available stock at the moment, and for whatever reason 'bay prices are often ridiculous. Dunno if it's greed; or people figuring InArt will still cost more and/or may or may not deliver; or - greed. 😁 I never think of my figs as investment vehicles:lol Someone...

They could do ROTK versions. ASMUS knows how to pull off costumes and weapons without horrible prices. Meanwhile, Spooktacular registration is up; got my 5$ reward.🎃 Waiting to PO Thranduil:drool

IMO they should just do head upgrades for Aragorn, Legolas. Some complain that they feel like they are paying extra after the fact but I don't see a problem with it. HT churns out whole figures 2, 3, times and sometimes they backtrack and the next sculpt is worse. IMO neither ASMUS Aragorn nor...

Well there are some I don't own but the top would be Thorin who in his price range is IMO perfect. Great sculpt, detailed costume with clever use of materials, accessories, sturdy dwarf body, beautiful details like the touch of metallic on the boot caps and the knee pads done in actual...

Congrats on your victory over fiber.(y) If I sound like I was able to win over a squad of elite troops - eventually - it's because the mohair and rooting job on mine were particularly hellish. I'm still bitter seeing unboxings where the fig looks pretty good and needs little if any work. And...

Sideshow company has sort of an online Halloween event with new releases, contests, sales. If you make an account with them and register for the event you usually get a 5$ reward added to your account. Sometimes you can really score good discounts.

I'd be patient. China economy - where many fabrics, manufacturing, shipping, workers etc. come from is in a lot of turmoil right now. Factories have shut down. My Obi-Wan was delayed so many times I lost count. Re Aragorn - well, IMO, folks who wanted a good/great sculpt and/or certain...

Do-able IMO but gonna have to have another talk with myself. Overpriced tho that's probably a given. But for me - for the cost, the sculpt is bothering me. To me it's off, like this is - someone else. Actually reminds me more of the Hobbit Legolas where I don't think disguising Orlando's age was...

Based on my own experience and reading about mohair from the reborn doll group and fiber groups as well as folks with thick curling hair, the fiber needs to be weighed down without getting too greasy. ****Do not work on hair if you are impatient, tired, angry, hungry, or rushed. Play LOTR music...

I don't think so. Even before InArt there'd be complaints - some IMO legitimate (like Faramir's vambraces and the upside down quiver:monkey3) and some IMO not. But above all, for me, is at least some folks wanting a premium fig, seemingly, at a basic price. Even tho ASMUS IMO often goes above...

I don't forget Asmus' bumps in the road and lol the community doesn't let them forget either. 😁 But I'll always have mad respect for them for their clever use of inexpensive materials and going IMO above and beyond, like Gimli's 5 diecast axes for that price. Developing sturdy dwarf bodies...

Sorry to see that. Am sure you can contact Kit, tho folks who paint here can probably tell you how to fix, it might be quicker.
