1/6 SCALE URUK HAI COMMANDER - SIBERIAN CUSTOM STUDIO

[Raleig.h]

Its $750 straight from Alex. Still insane to me, WAYYYY out of my price range but thats easily a $1500 figure based on the work and quality going into it.

 

[Antarion]

That is why everyone jumped on inart Aragorn: you get custom level quality for lower prices than real customs.

Think of all the indiana jones customs where the paibted head alone is as much as Lurtz.

It is not cheap but still not bad for a good custom imo

The reason why I POd both their Gandalf and the prem Aragorn. If you had to pay for those as "custom" made, man, their prices would be prob at least in the 900 range

 

[mitraheroe]

Not only that. I don´t like when figures have rigid ankles:

Kind of insane that for the price, proper gripping hands aren't included. Looks bad seeing the figure hold anything in it's hand with the one pair of open palm hands included.

Really would consider getting it but the lack of hands is holding me back, especially at a whooping $800.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Its $750 straight from Alex.

That's the savings? Yeah, still outside what I want to spend on this particular character.

Which sucks, because SCS did an absolutely amazing job on their Lurtz figure I think. I would have liked two head sculpts though for the price -- one with just that grim glower.


Anyway, if I get Gandalf and then Aragorn in hand, that Lurtz might become harder to resist.

 

[Wor-Gar]

There's definitely some limitations here. The non-gripping hands will no doubt bother me when posing time comes. Also, the single sculpt -- would like TWO, one with a closed mouth, grim look.

That said, the custom head alone, haired as it is, could easily cost $500 alone. So with that in mind, the price starts to seem more acceptable for the work.

By the time any of us get Gandalf and Aragorn, that Lurtz won’t even be available anymore…

 

[Antarion]

Might actually 3D print a second head once I have the fig. Just for fun - I actually like building my own chars - best if you have a great base already

It's not due until Dec 2024... and knowing customs, there will be a long delay.

Yeah but PO cutoff is end of August

 

[pixletwin]

Correct me if I am wrong but that Lurtz is a statue. Not a figure?

 

[Wor-Gar]

I just can't imagine they wouldn't want more orders down the line.

Also, there will be those who order this and 6 months from now, a year from now, offer up their slot because they changed their mind. It always happens. There will be ways to get on this later.

I have no idea how something priced like this will sell -- 15 units, 25 units? -- but they should definitely make a few extra while they are at it.

But hey, if not, then so be it. I've already decided against it.

With $250-300 deposit you better find someone who pays you that.

It is not the first figure they released as custom - they got that Patriot figure which was like $1500 or more and I think there were 25 people on the list as buyers iirc. But that number could be off, just from my head

Yeah, and how many years did it take for that figure to be delivered?

No, I would be buying their slot for $300, not the other way around.

 

[Hologram AI]

I asked Alex if a pair of weapon gripping hands could be included with the final release. Will see what he says. Would strongly consider getting it if so.

EDIT: He confirmed that there will be sword/bow gripping hands for the final release. Makes it more tempting now.

 

[Chopper Face]

Guys, it’s just not worth that price, and you know it.

Ask him how durable the colour on that phicen body is gonna be over time.

 

[Antarion]

I have several colored bodies. Dont see the problem on that part. I think the solicone might crack before the color becomes a problem

 

[Nagoya]

hopefully they used some kind of ink to physically dye the outer layers of the silicon. Doubt it’s just paint.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Deterioration is more concerning. What if its like Asmus' Gollum and turns gray in 4 weeks? Or gets sticky/tacky in a year?

 

[Hologram AI]

I mean that's an issue any company is gonna have with this. Unless if we get visible jointed elbows/knees from Asmus/Inart, provided either of them ever does him within the next 5 years.
