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

[Luisenigma1]

Seeing as they showed a sculpted hair version. It safe to assume just like the price for The Batman it will be $500 for the rooted version and $350 for the sculpted one.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Because of shipping, he'll now be closer to $600.

Gonna make $500 look gooooooooooooooooooooood.

One eye higher than the other? I never noticed it with Viggo before but actually I can see it now just googling him. One of his eyes is higher and slants differently than the other. Wise of Inart to try to capture this, to not idealize.

Asymmetric eyes are surprisingly common. I know this because I see it in the mirror and look for it in other people so I know I'm not the only one who has it.

Well, I was talking about how his left eye looks like it's open slightly more than his right. It's subtle, but you can see that the bottom edge of his left iris sits flush with the eyelid, but the bottom of his right iris is partially obscured by the eyelid.

To me it doesn't look like a mistake of the sculpt or the paintjob, but an intentional creative choice that I have to assume is based on a specific shot from the movie, but when I was googling around I couldn't find the matching shot. It doesn't appear to be a common thing Viggo does, in character or out.

In the Gandalf thread, when I was going over the small details like this, people thought I was unhappy or complaining, but it's the exact opposite lol. The sculpt is obviously fantastic, I just only like to join the conversation when I have something new to add, and usually that means focusing on tiny details nobody else is fussing over.

This sculpt is SPOT-ON to my eye. I had convinced myself that I wasn't going to get into the InArt LOTR figures and my finances breathed a big sigh of relief ... but dammit! This one is killing me! By far the best Viggo I've ever seen in a non-custom. And the hair work is fabulous. If that's even in the ballpark of what the finished figure will look like ... damn.

(Also, if you're talking facial asymmetry, check out Ryan Gossling. Didn't notice it for years, but once I did, I couldn't unsee it.)

This whole shipping fiasco won’t apply to the single release ‘standard’ figures. We’ve seen that the solo Joker comes in a regular 1/6 sized box. It’s probably just a bit heavier due to the foam.

I absolutely wouldn’t say no to a deluxe Aragorn two pack but I don’t think it’s really warranted with his Fellowship looks. A bunch of accessories will suffice.
They could do his council of Elrond look to really contrast the two figures but I don’t see that as being a particularly sort after figure- unless they also include a big ol’ shards of Narsil diorama…

Nah, I’m just expecting a single figure release here; rooted and sculpted.

I really love this one pose though so may have to consider double dipping and customising the battle damage and filth…

Or Bradley Cooper. Harrison Ford. Tom Cruise's teeth. All considered good looking too.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Tom Cruise's teeth.

That center toof!

My guess is it's a InArt team taught by Viper. Same team that did the hairing for their 1:4 Ledger Joker is my guess.

You’re probably right. I believe Asmus did the same thing for their crown Gandalf figures if I remember correctly. Of course, InArt’s end result looks to exceed Asmus’ attempts, but still, I believe it was similar process of having trained ppl to do the hairing process.

Will grab this to display with my ACI Ringwraith.
I am still hoping to see an Uruk-hai someday.

 

[Matthewjc41]

when Is pre-order going up?

 

[Wor-Gar]

Will grab this to display with my ACI Ringwraith.

This will make a fine accessory to your ACI figure.

Homie’s got posable eyes bruh

 

[Sixth Scale Man]

Well, that looks stunning. Kudos to the team on this one.

 

[ArtDamage]

Agreed with what's being said here re: 2 pack

I'd much rather it be a single figure rooted or sculpted choice and just get a bunch of accessories and display stand.

Don't really see any need for a 2 figure 1k set here.

I never ever for any figure out there see a need for a 2 Pack (except maybe Ringwraith ninepacks). I hope they never do it again.

 

[Kalkylen]

I'd happily buy a two pack with his ranger outfit and a battle damaged Helm's Deep version with real chainmail and extra weathering.

Sure but why not simply offer both as single packs then? I think not everyone wants multiples of same character as long as we can buy every version with rooted hair i'm good.

Single packs are fine too. I just want every possible variation of Aragorn's outfits, even when it hasn't changed that much!

I'm not going to lie, I'm definitely ordering at least three of these as it is haha

 

[Antarion]

I hope we can see real life in hand photos before preorder time. I know InArt delivered with Joker, but real faces are different than painted clown faces, especially hard to get right characters like viggo

But I will be ordering one anyway
