ACI Toys: 1/6 ARAGORN (Improved Production Copy updated!)

[slamscaper]

Timewalker toys has charged me. So he is less than 2 weeks from shipping!

I tried the head and clothes on a standard True Type and he is tiny - everything is way too big. He suits the ACI body very well.

Ah, good point... oh well. Guess you could always try a TT Advanced, but then it's just getting ridiculous

I'm so frustrated. It looks like my preorder fell through.. So, I'm looking for one at this point. I won't pay over retail, I just can't. If anyone can point me in a good direction, let me know.

Where did you order from?

Like a moron I preordered on eBay at the end of January. I figured it would be fine because the seller has 9500 positive feedback and it was released already.

I will never buy anything on eBay that's not in stock ever, ever again.

He is in the US.

NEVER EVER pre-order anything from ebay!!! I got scammed ONCE because the pre-order extended beyond Paypal's (then) 45 day claim period. Just don't do it.

Technically, April is second quarter so it's possible Big Bad could still get theirs sometime next month, however, the money I have been setting aside to buy it will probably have to go now to some other pre-orders that have recently come in stock.

Woo-hoo, my ACI Aragorn arrived today from 7toys7 !
I ordered on 3-3-15, right after reading about how quickly they were drying up, and I think I may have gotten the last one they had. I've been anxiously awaiting his arrival; originally I planned on ordering from BBTS, but they sold out before I could pull the trigger. I got him for $280 shipped, not a bad deal at all! Won't have time to futz with him until Sunday evening, but I'm hugely impressed by him ! Great work, ACI, I hope you eventually get the LOTR license back, your work puts Asmus to shame.

I've got mine from 7toys7 too... i ordered mine 2-3-15, so probably i take just the one before yours ^_^...
280 shipped is a big deal for this figure, i only regret to have bought only one...

 

[slamscaper]

Can't wait!

 

[kl241]

If I could afford 2 I would display one as Strider and the other at Amon Hen.

 

[ghilbertit]

exactly!

Yeah , this is the issue with great looking figures. They offer so many possibilities, its hard to pick one

It is hard! But it lets you change up the displays once in a while.

At the time of this post, Alter Ego Comics has one standard Aragorn left if anyone is looking.

Here is mine:

- Sideshow Cape + Bedroll
- switched body to no name HTcopy (less bulky with all the clothing)
- DID boots extended and repainted
- vest weathered
- haircut + wax (lots of wax)

Gandalf, Faramir + Hobbits are WIP

Very cool. Great job with the mods.
Love the boots!

Exceptionnal work on this one, congrats !! Next to Faramir, rooted hair really makes the figure reach a higher level.
