Art Figures: The King

[Maglor]

uuuuhhhhh ok

Sorry. Turning the possessive pronoun "mine" into the plural noun "mines" is a big pet peeve of mine.

While we're on the subject of pet peeves, mine is putting an apostrophe in a plural noun.

Thought I'd share.

 

[Maglor]

Making it possessive? Yeah I hate that too.

 

[stshammgod]

Here's mine, but with a twist... Custom head and TT body.

And with his buddies...

 

[Mr.E]

That looks great!

OMG, you are my hero. I was literally in the process of ordering this elsewhere (for $20 more) and I decided to pop over to this thread just to give it one last look before pulling the trigger. Bam!

Awesome! Glad I could help!

Arm broke again. Looks like I'm going to have to buy a new body. Sucks big time.

Yeah, I just got around to dressing this right now and the bloody arm snapped. Lame, but the outfit and accessories are amazing.

really?!

I think what it is, is that the it's screwed in too tight. the left arm on mine was tight as well so I loosened the screw up and the arm moves just fine now. I'm going to drill out the stump that's left from the snapping and put in a 1/8 basswood dowel in it's place and use some epoxy putty to secure it. hopefully that will do the trick. if not then I'll just have to buy another body I guess.

I may try and fix the body too for future use. But for Aragorn, I just plopped him on a TT narrow. The outfit fits the body well it turns out.

Having finished dressing him now, I have to say this clothing set is second only to the DX Jack Sparrow (not having seen Anjelica in person) among 1:6 scale figure. It is just a masterful recreation of the outfit, top quality work in both materials and assembly. Also the best looking bendable hands I have seen yet.

If Art Figures had done the likeness better this would be a Toy of the Year figure.

Get one of those $30 knock off TTs.

Agreed on all counts.

And for me this is "best surprise figure of the year." easily.

I want to do everything possible before I spend money on another body. No need to waste money on something that can still potentially be fixed

 

[xirality]

Lol I sat mine on the Blitzway Scarface chair...

 

[ZaCHw117]

I wonder if they'll make anyone else.

Would love some fellowship characters

asmus toys has bought the license to lotr, they are planning on the fellowship

 

[ZaCHw117]

I just want a goddamn legolas.

 

[The 1 Who Knocks]

Got this guy today, initially I was very impressed with what I found in the box... then I started dressing him and the right arm snapped off. Checking some older posts, I see some of you switched it to a TT.

I'm kinda new to 1/6 figures, if someone could point me in the right direction in terms of what TT body I should get and how much modding will be needed. I really want to display him as its a beautiful piece. Thanks in advance.

 

[Gregorbian]

I just got this figure but I think I'm missing some parts. I've seen some pictures of a necklace with the pendant from Arwen and a ring (the one ring or a different ring?). Did those pieces come with the figure or were they custom jobs?

If they came with the figure, is it possible to take a picture of the items (off of the figure)? I need to submit pictures to my retailer in the event these pieces were actually missing.

Other than that, it's a really amazing figure. I wish they had released a couple more characters from LOTR

Thanks in advance!

 

[Maglor]

Don't panic yet. The ring is really small, and you might have just missed it.

As for the Evenstar necklace, many of us received the figure with it hidden way inside the neck joint. Really check in there before you say it's not there.
