Thanks !

@ Neko: still trying to figure out how you cut the hair - best hair cut & style I've see so far - would be great to get a "how to"

If anyone can help me out on this one, I'd appreciate it.

 

[Neko]

Thank you !!
Unfortunately I didn't take "work in progress" shots. Here is a little sketch to show the different layers I tried to obtain.



I didn't have to cut much: ( especially trimmed in the forehead and temples areas, just like you did )



The thing that helped me well, was to wet the hair and work them with a small brush while I was cutting in order to separate and place them where I wanted. I suppose I also got lucky because I never cut a doll's hair before but I'm very happy with the result. Concerning yours, I woudn't touch anything more, I feel it looks perfect as it is. And I love your boots and cloak, better than the ACI ones !
Here are some more photos in his (maybe) final pose, hope it helps and you can see the haircut:
(I also heavily cut the cloak around the neck, it was way too thick... And I replaced the Lorien leaf in the wrong sense ! )

Looking great- and thanks a lot for the drawing!

The DiD Aragorn pops up from time to time for a reasonable price. It might be worth buying one just for the boots - conversion and painting are not too hard with your skills

Im a bit late on the figure but great job everyone for customizing the hair! I believe the exclusive version is not very convincing, better get a normal version and the Noble collection letter opener Anduril. Sadly on eBay i can find only the exclusive version for sale now. Apart from Anduril, the figure is flawless and perfect. Will need to modify the hair as well tho.

Looks like BBTS got theirs in. My EX has processed and is en route. Thank goodness I hopped on this considering the secondary on these. Now I just need my XM Magneto to finally process.

 

[Fremen]

What. Did you get an email from them or something telling you it processed?

 

[jra81984]

Mine is processing right now! Hooray!

 

[Skywalker(OG)Kush]

mine is processing as well

 

[Fremen]

Can someone please share how you know it's processing?
Does it day so when you go into your preorders on the BBTS site?
Did you get an email?

[emeraldknight]

Frooggg!!! I want mine now!!!

Congrats guys!

 

[Fremen]

Nothing here but I didn't have $$$$ on my CC an hour ago.

 

[stshammgod]

Still need a freak to help me out on one of these.

Me too! Last minute cancelled the wraith by emailing them. I will order that one later.

Got my notice as well.

That's the thing about BBTS, by the time you get the notice they've already charged your card and if you don't have the funds it will show as declined and you have like a week to update your payment before they cancel the order.

Yeah, so I'm in that same situation. I have nine days to decide if I want to risk letting the L.E. Ringwraith go and just get Aragorn or come up with the extra cash. Robocop might have to find a new home!

 

[Fremen]

Do they email you if they try to charge and it was declined?
