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

    :lol Well said tho. Think that's what I'm trying to say WTF am I doing. I've shelled out close to that for 1/4 scale poly (usually on a payment plan). But I don't buy massive amounts of statues or WETA environments. It's particular pieces like Sideshow's Obi-Wan. Guess for me it'll come down...

    The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power | Amazon Prime Video - September 2, 2022

    Just started binging this. Gotta get through 7 and 8. Overall, props for making S2 a whole lot better. The actors including Galadriel put their backs into it; so kudos for that. IMO the natural environments and design work, costumes etc. are all upgrades. I'd even rewatch S2. So good job...

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

    TBH - since just cruising through this thread - IMO buy the DX. I like dioramas and buying my figs stuff. I bought Aragorn a horse. That will run you around ~200 minimum like for a Mr. Z horse. Then there's the problem of the right kind of horse. Not every breed is out there as a 1/6...

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

    It's a current auction with mostly stock photos....dunno. InArt's own replacement page language seems to be saying fakes/frauds are happening and KO sculpts are out there. Or it could be real. Outside of my own, I haven't seen any photos of bad hair, out of the box. But I've read comments here...

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

    IMO at today's rising prices no-one is ever wrong for opting out of a statue or figure. It's a hobby; it's not supposed to turn into a strain. I don't regret purchasing Aragorn - even with my hair issues - and I'll pick up Thorin ONLY because he's my favorite ME character - but I think I went...

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

    E-bay auction. For over 1,000$. Give kudos to the seller for "giving the meat, and giving it raw".... :monkey3 For myself and some folks, InArt is certainly an adventure into man-styling.

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

    Nah, I believe ALL pictures are valuable. Like I'm never gonna match Pizza's pics or Raymond's work. Doesn't change the base figure or the good/bad. I get ideas from pics all the time. :monkey3 This one made me feel a whole lot better about MY Aragorn and his curly pouf hair. Ebay seller...

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

    Well, I wasn't a fanboy at all and my Aragorn hair issues aside, IMO they already cut costs with Aragorn's tunic material which FEELS like holiday ribbon (I was expecting microsuede) and the elven cloak (unfinished nylon/polyester not some sort of light knit). And believe there are some outer...

    InArt Thorin Oakenshield 1/6 Figure

    Well it'd be one thing if InArt had magnificent quality control, superb customer service. But they don't. And hair aside, my other issue would be IMO their choice of cloth could be better, tho they have some really nice details too. It's like my Aragorn costume LOOKS good on the shelf, but...

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

    Yeah, working on it. BTW InArt really sets customers up to fail if you need service, far as I can tell from reading - https://queenstudios.shop/pages/inart-customer-service?srsltid=AfmBOoqffebOgo4AhabcopmhPbmtWGc2w_xzwgFjQb4BA1sVH0TtivHe Reading this and other comments, including the...

    InArt Thorin Oakenshield 1/6 Figure

    Gandalf the Grey would be a companion he and Thorin had enough conversations. More generic displays would be the map, key, a nice copy of the Hobbit book.... I've got all that stuff plus ASMUS figs including young Bilbo. TBH don't need another Thorin, but I WANT this one too.

    InArt Thorin Oakenshield 1/6 Figure

    Probably the unexpected shock of the costs. But Legolas' hair is gonna be a pain in the @ss to get right. The glue along the hairline has to be perfect; then the braids.

    InArt Thorin Oakenshield 1/6 Figure

    450-600. Based on having to develop a new body, diecast weapons, and the armor scales. Also they need to get the hair streaks right. Which ASMUS managed for around 200 if I recall correctly. Now if INArt did those scales in metal I'd be super impressed. But bet they don't.

    I wish I had a conehead vs. Carrot Top except for the color.

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

    Which community tho. I like watching YT vids of reviews. 3500$ Predator and Alien statues. Full size busts and 1/3 silicon statues. Even poor like me gets glassy eyed and coughs up for that gotta have piece. This stuff sells someone is buying.

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

    Thing is, sooner or later someone is gonna churn out recasts or KOs. Heck ASMUS may or may never come out with sculpt upgrades. 3rd party figs. May not have the movable eyes but InArt isn't using top of the line glass eyes either. The customs I've seen where someone rooted ASMUS Legolas v1...

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

    Passing as well. I've never had an issue with ASMUS costumes and details, they did a phenomenal job while keeping the cost down (!like Gimlis 5 diecast axes). Only picked up Aragorn because I wanted Ranger Aragorn ( and now I've got a problem). Anyway I'd already ratcheted back on collecting...

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

    Happy Dirge and others got "good ones" but just makes me madder for the folks that didn't . We all paid a good amount unless you had vendor points or coupons or something.

    InArt Thorin Oakenshield 1/6 Figure

    Yeah enough for me to get sucked back in....maybe. These days who knows what will get actually produced. Except Spiderman, Batman and Iron Man. Upgraded the fur from first proto - it would be cool to have a Thorin with a very real expression in this case.

    InArt Thorin Oakenshield 1/6 Figure

    Just when I'd written this company off. My fav Middle Earth character. B@st@rds. At least with this company's love for hair and lots of it, they should be well set up to make dwarves.
