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

[starduster]

Well I finally got around to futzing a little bit. Man that quiver belt was a pain to thread through the buckle! I did a pass get putting hair gel in, and I love the result. It will make me hold off on cutting any of the hair for now. This may be one of my favorite figures of all time. I had issues with the price in the beginning, but now that I am seeing all the insane detail and material choices here I have change my mind. It is stunning.

Looks great!

Have to post a few more. Absolutely love this figure! I've got the Ringwraith coming, need to land an Asmus Steed!

Sooooooo...for those quick on the clicking finger, Toy Anxiety broke down L.E. Aragorn and Ringwraith. If you're quick, there is one Anduril left for 40.00

Does anyone have a breakdown of how your supposed to attach all the sheaths, weapons, etc.? Mine didn't come with any instructions. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm glad to know I wasnt the only one that had problems with the quiver belt.
Man, I spent a lonnnnnnng time with that damn belt, I actually questioned if maybe I'm doing something wrong.
Like its not supposed to really work like a belt, it just looks like it.

Grats on your Aragorn, and it looks like the hair is already cool with yours.
I had to cut quite a bit on mine to look like that.

Thanks for the tip! I've been watching them for Hoth stuff, but never expected them to break these guys down. Wonder what the head was going for? I picked up the main clothing pieces. They also have Tyrion if anyone has been looking for his parts.

Take his belt off first then you have to slide the scabbards on. It's his sword first then the knife.

Take note of how the belt is wrapped around itself before you take it off so you can redo it.

All the sheaths have loops on them.

Thanks. Is there a trick to attaching the bow to his back?

What's a good wax to use guys?

I just used "extra body sculpting gel" when it hardens it is like a plastic and has a nice wet look. Also it is easy to wash out if you are not happy with how it looks. I use it in my own hair so it worked out nicely haha.

I fear using gel because it can get flakey.

That depends upon what kind it is. This kind does not get the white flakes that other brands have. This has been a life long journey for me to find the right one haha.

Amazon.com : Nexxus Exxtra Gel, Superior Hold, Sculpting Gel, 8.5 oz (Pack of 2) : Hair Care Styling Products : Beauty

The bottle is not cheap, but I bet there are sample sizes out there. I am sure wax would work as well and be cheaper. I just worked with what I had on hand.

Annoyingly the ties on his clothes have come undone on mine by their own will after a simple repose, and i can't for the love of me get them tied again!

For something like that , I use a trick with thin threads. Get some sewing thread, really thin, and tie the two sides together, after you're done cut the excess, it shouldn't be visible at all.
