    Questions for Asmus

    Not for me. ASMUS pulls off amazing work at an affordable price. Anyone can upgrade a fig or get a custom done any time. Yeah InArt has some nice sculpts but their cloth choice wasn't any different than anything I'd seen before. Most of all reading about their customer service. Yes it's nice to...

    Questions for Asmus

    Looking forward to seeing them, but the money will go to the "ill tempered King with the good wine". 😁

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

    His feet lock to the metal base because of the boot magnets. Very useful for futzing. Dunno if I will keep him on there permanently. Being a diorama person have lots of bases about. Maybe I'll just sit him down. Never even took the base he comes with out of the box. Or maybe I'll mod that one...

    Hot Toys Mandalorian Season 3 Moff Gideon

    Kinda regretting I didn't order. But keeping to my "lean PO" efforts. And for me a Luthen Rael and Cassian are must haves, and nothing is getting cheaper.:monkey2

    InArt Thorin Oakenshield 1/6 Figure

    Well, if it's InArt, releases are so slow, there's time to save.

    Getting Priced out, how about you?

    A smart older friend of mine used to tell me "Keep it simple". So yeah, my income hasn't kept up with inflation and TBH it was fun around the beginning of the MCU, when I started think figs were around 220$, beautiful HTs - only diecast IM and WM were the most expensive. I collect WETA and...

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

    Beautiful fig and HT release. Only issue seems to be one piece boot. Not sure I will worry about it tho.

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

    My remaining balance is 10/25 - I'll just let it ride after waiting this long. Hopefully he will ship. Looking forward to the in hand pics!

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

    Now I want those buckles! :lol But like my Faramir as-is. Re Legolas did they not plan to do the brooch at the neck either? That would be a shame, as they did a nice job with the Evenstar and the elven leave brooches. Plus for me it would tie back to Thranduil's twining "thorn" ring in the...

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

    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...

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

    Looks like you got good out of the box hair. (y) Yeah I noticed at least with my cell phone you have to get the angle right so the camera sees what I see. Otherwise there's this weird almost fish eye effect up close. Really wish I had saved posts explaining camera lens etc. Basically I need a...

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

    Thank you!:) Yeah, I actually thought that when I forced myself to stop picking at his hair. With forceps. That if I'd never seen other Aragorns I would have been fine if he came out of the box like that. Tho luv the look you ended up with :clap to me it's Aragorn at Amon Hen or other battle...

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

    He'll sell out anyway tho because of FOMO; people seeing Middle Earth 1/6 for the first time; partners whose other partner just loves Middle Earth and Legolas (like when people paid ridiculous prices for WB's Middle Earth "collector set" which were discs everyone already owned with a little...

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

    Yeah, I cautiously cut a few strands of hair for the front - and then with my coarse mohair they didn't want to drape the right way over the plastic widow's peak. For me it took a while to get past the mental block of dealing with this hair, it was gonna have to be larded with product on...

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

    Thanks yeah he just got some hair spray :lol Am done I think; at least he looks Viggo e.g. tamed the poufy coarse mohair (was grimly thinking to try straightener but really didn't want to go that road:eek::eek::eek:). Or, am at the limit of my skill set with a 500$ fig. I've wanted to do...

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

    Thank you. Am on round 3 with my Aragorn's hair, because I grimly did not want to deal with the InArt return process. It's been a learning experience. And it's taken hours, days. I would have been happy with overly long, curling hair. What I have is dense, rather coarse, large-curled, stubborn...

    InArt Thorin Oakenshield 1/6 Figure

    Ah the good 'ol days - I remember the awe I felt unboxing. For one thing, I'd been thinking I'd never get a 1/6 Thorin at all, unless I went the custom route $$$$$$$ can't imagine the cost. Then ASMUS knocks it out of the park. At this point I own more than one (always planned to do some...

    Did u get the sculpted? Was wondering why there weren't more pics.

    InArt Thorin Oakenshield 1/6 Figure

    Yeah, but wondering if InArt has too much on their plate already, with too many different character lines.:dunno IMO ASMUS' Thorin is amazing; pulling off all the small armor scales; detailed boots with a wash of metallic, even the pants had embroidered "patches" + diecast Orcrist, key, the...

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

    The doll has better hair compared to the photo. Looking at the 1/3 statue IMO Queen/Inart are really into good hair.
