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

[SurlyJ]

How are you guys managing to get that quiver strap buckled? I messed with it for about 45 minutes the other day, and gave up.

With tweezers.

I took a thread and tied a single knot around the end of the belt. Then I pulled the two ends of the thread through the belt. With a little force it will get the belt though the buckle. Then just remove the thread.

Thanks. I'll try that. I tried the tweezers thing, and it didn't work. I was afraid I was going to brake the buckle.

Finally decided not to keep this...

Yeah I fussed with tweezers at first as well, it was too tricky. The thread trick made really short work of it!

Boo this man!

So I trimmed the hair a little bit around the front of the face. I didn't have any hair gel on hand so that's the final step, but it still has the stock product in it which makes it still look pretty great. I'm happy where this guy is at and where he's going.

Poor pics, but it's night and the lighting isn't good in my place for night pics.

 

[SurlyJ]

Boo this man!

lol no need to boo me. No one seems to want to buy it lol.

Seems I unloaded mine just in time. One of the coolest figures I've ever seen but the hair was really pissing me off.

Hasn't it been in your for sale thread for a couple weeks, Surly?

I remember being surprised it was still around given the aftermarket prices at release. Funny to me that BBTS still has 7 LE Ringwraiths and presumably lots more regulars. Expected everything to be sold out by now. LOTR must have a lot smaller customer base than I assumed.

I think the small customer base was always the issue with their stuff. I think it is why Sideshow stopped the lines to begin with. I collect 1/6 and even I am resistant to collecting a ton of these figures. Aragorn is a beautiful one though.

 

[Invictus Sol]

Yeah, that's true. I bought Morgul Lord, then decided to exit LOTR and sold it off. ACI's Ringwriaths lured me back in, but they will be a 'one and done' display for this franchise. I love it but the line is just potentially too deep when I'm already into SW and a few other, smaller, properties. Just no space, ultimately.

Yeah.... that post was almost a month ago lol.

 

[Invictus Sol]

Oh, lol. At work and browsing. Totally misread the date on that.

Anyway, mentioned it really to register surprise that it hadn't sold. Would've expected it to go in a day or two. Doggone LOTR!!

Seriously! I'm surprised too. Had it on ebay too the whole time and only received one bad offer to send it to China.

 

[slamscaper]

I couldn't sell or trade mine either. Ended up with two trying to secure one LOL.

Yeah, it's really frustrating for a person like me who wants a full Fellowship.

"Unloaded"? No one buying?

After all the positive reviews about this being the ultimate Aragorn? What happened here?

 

[emeraldknight]

I've seen a lot Aragorns on Ebay lately. What happened?

I am getting mine hopefully tomorrow, I'll see what's the real deal when in hand.

I have a feeling many were purchased in the frenzy of the limited numbers. I am keeping mine, I absolutely love it.
