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

How long did everyone’s Aragorn “sit” at USPS? Mine arrived to the US days ago, cleared customs, and was sent to the USPS facility. Yes, I’ve been watching the tracking incessantly, but I’m starting to worry since it hasn’t moved and is spitting out the automatic updates at midnight every night.

I’ll admit I’m paranoid but I have had 2 other hot toys figures disappear mid-process this summer alone. Ultimately, one appeared nearly a month after it was shipped.

Looks like around 4 days from entering the country, to supposed delivery today.

But. I'm in a heavily urbanized area with the main post office 5 minutes away, a UPS hub, etc. I vaguely remember running into a situation like that, way back. Had to call the post office - which took some digging to get the main number, and they nicely found the package. I think the deal was it had been sent back and forth between my post office and a USPS hub at the next city over. It was some sort of human foul up.

Nothing wrong with checking with USPS, if you can get a number to actually talk to someone.

Eh I don’t think so. InArt kinda pulled the dick move. This person is just seeing and filling a need. You’d be stupid not to charge money for it. If you’re good at something never do it for free.

Yeah, re the cloak, I'm grateful a customizer stepped in, at a reasonable cost. It was %ss for InArt to not include it .

Dropping this link at 13:15 pretty good look at the cloak we all should have gotten, plus it's a nice look at the sculpted.

Gorgeous photos and beautiful hair on your copy, it looks longer compared to others.

Is the "lip scar" or hair lip supposed to be painted with "hairs" or is there supposed to be exposed skin like a scar?

Received mine yesterday but I haven't had the time to open him up. For some reason it also makes me feel nervous.

Put on soundtrack to TEE Fellowship and my big boy pants and assembled Aragorn. It was a lot if fun. I am not sure if I have the head completely on the neck though.

Does anyone know if the Shards of Narsil statue by United Cutlery is in 1:6?

Most of the figures have it exposed, I don’t remember it being as exposed in the movie.

I think the sculpted hair looks terrific here. Perhaps a bit shiny.

I think the sculpted looks pretty good; and it's a nice model of what the hair should be cut like, in the back; e.g. a layer and a lower layer tho I don't have the skills for that. I'd have gotten a sculpted too just because; but couldn't afford it.

1/5 scale statue; I just ordered it. But I figure just switch the shards out. On the shelf it's harder to judge scale with something like that.

Congrats on opening the box; yeah, may not be my favorite character but I'm hoping I don't have any issues.

Yeah, going over movie photos it really doesn't show unless his beard is freshly trimmed.

Thanks. I just ordered it too.

Apparently there were two versions of this made. One which was a weaker silver on grey that doesn't look like the statue on screen; and a newer version with better colors. I got the new one.

Thanks. I spoke to USPS and was told he “will probably turn up”. This is too expensive of an item and big enough of a package for me to just sit back on. USPS said I have to wait a few more days to even file the “Find Package” report. It’s already approaching 4 days without any update or movement whatsoever.

I’m sure it’s more expensive but I’m hoping we have the ability to choose shipping/carriers in the future. If Kit offers that, bad on me for missing it.

My Aragorn changed tracking numbers once it left LA. So mine had 3 different tracking numbers total.

Hello, I'm new to these lands. I have been reading the posts since the figure was announced. Seeing the good atmosphere I was encouraged to show mine that arrived today.

 

[Kalkylen]

Two of mine are currently somewhere 'Transport delayed' according to 4PX and the third doesn't seem to have moved since the tracking codes were sent.

 

[Hidden-place]

Quick straight out of the box iPhone pic so excuse the distortion, but def looks like Viggo to me…

Yeah that’s not good. Where are you located?

UK. They only shipped on Sunday/Monday so not sweating too much yet...

I also had the transport delayed. It seems to clear up after a couple of days.

My total transit time was 11 days.
