InArt: The Lord of the Rings - Aragorn 1:6

[TheBatman]

It just looks like he's using a wide-angle lens to capture it from that short of a distance....Im not sure what the issue is.

 

[roan]

Thought the same.

The thumbnail image looks just like the prototype sculpt to me lol.

I know folks aren't a fan of the way he futzed the Gandalf hair, but credit to him being the only reviewer to style Aragorn's hair close to the prototype. To my eye, looks much better that way.

That could be due to some pushing him thru private messages

I'm stoked for this to come, whenever that may be. I just want something, anything I've ordered that's dropped, to finally ship out already. Both InArt and Hot Toys releasing figures over the last few months and I'm still waiting on around 10 figures from those drops.

I think it looks great. Maybe the head is a little shiny in Will's video -- like on the beard -- which hurts the authenticity. But 'shiny' can be fixed.

It would be a 9/10 for me because of inArts base body. There is something about the boxiness in the shoulders that I don't like.

I have more of an issue with the puffy chest in the video... but hoping that is a futz/posing issue.

Head seems a bit of a downgrade. his facial features seem too wide? Slightly disappointed.

If the proto was a 10 out of 10...the head makes this a 8.5 out of 10....still initially reaction is disappointed.

The sculpt of the HS is exactly the same than the proto:

And there are photos of prototype, again, it's the same

It sure doesn't appear that way in the videos. Sculpts look as others say soft, I think the face looks a bit wide with features.

Good review from Will this time around! I think the paint application makes all the difference. That initial prototype was never going to be matched on a mass production scale. I'm hoping OSK starts shipping this guy out in the next month or so!

 

[Sassafras]

He's alright. Softened sculpt tho a good sculpt. Inner jacket still too short. Personally I get the whole bloody hands/battle damage disconnect but hands are often the first thing messed up, out in the woods, so I'll use them if I want to.

Will see when he gets here (again, this isn't my favorite character). Think I was expecting a bit more with the InArt hype but it's fine. Or - I was not expecting a softened sculpt, because of the InArt hype, but here we are. On the shelf tho he'll look great.

Yeah, as long as the hair is disheveled too, I think it can work.

I posted about this earlier but I am convinced this is not the same sculpt as the solicitation photos. Looks at the 5 o'clock shadow, way softer and closer to production. Same with the hair color.

I agree it's the same underlying sculpt/3d print, just cast from the master and the softening that goes along with it for mass production/paint.

Curious if anyone will shell out to have theirs repainted/rerooted. I wonder how close we could get to that prototype.

It’s the same sculpt.

People have already had it repainted and re rooted.

Biggest drop off for me is in the weathering of the outfit and some of the changes in the look of the materials. The weathering is just not nearly as prevalent as the proto. I can live with the difference, but that is much more noticeable to me than differences in the sculpt.

 

[TheBatman]

Thanks for sharing your opinion

 

[Wor-Gar]

Wait -- so Aragorn sucks again! What year is this?

I've just come back from the future where everyone loves their InArt Aragorn... and MarkKing even bought a 2nd one!

 

[Mr.Tanker]

If people are nitpicking this figure, then they are never going to be happy with anything ever.

 

[Chopper Face]

The best figure on the market isn’t good enough.

Happiness is an illusion!!
