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

[chrisstbh]

Anyone have input on this?

Same question was asked multiple times in multiple forums regarding Batman cape and I don’t know that I’ve seen an official statement on it from INART. They have stuck with the “premium materials” description

It says "Real Fabrics" and "Leather Vest", whereas HT and other brands usually state "Leather-like"

That was what I thought. Thanks.

Certainly reassuring thanks.

To date I haven't skipped a single PO from them

Also can we just appreciate that even the moveable eyes look incredible!

Got my order in with Kit for premium since it’s the shorter PO window.

Might go back before the cut off for the sculpted in February

This looks amazing, pre-ordered through onesixthkit. If you haven't ordered yet use code INARTWILL for $10 off your pre-order (compliments of WillFoxification)

Just can't afford the premium but, the sculpted hair is so amazing it cuts the sting down to just about zero!
ordered.

I really hope inart do Boromir, Asmus Gimili could stand alongside the inart figures (although I would not say no to a potential upgrade) but Asmus Boromir (1.0 or 2.0) really suffers in the sculpt department.

For Australians it's probably cheaper to go through Sugo. Even with One Sixth Kit's free shipping, Sugo is probably $90 AUD ($60 USD) cheaper.

All right guys, I would like to get this Aragorn. I've already ordered InArt Gandalf through OSK last June, but since it isn't out yet I have no idea what to expect in terms of fees or other "surprises". I'm in Europe (Italy): has anybody in Europe already got something from Kit in the past? Does he declare low value and use OSS so that we won't be charged with absurd taxes?

Standard comes with everything the preium comes with except for

Bloody hands
Shards of Narsil

Thats it.

Is the hair the same? Popcollectibles shows the standard version as having sculpted hair and the premium as having rooted hair.

OSK technically isn't "free" shipping, it's included shipping.

Sculpted is standard and rooted is premium. That’s the whole selling point between the two.

You shouldn´t have any problem with that. OSK is very trustworthy.

Seems like OSK site is down.

Damn I hope I don't miss out

I'm in Spain, so not sure if Italy might be any different, but haven't had any problems with Kit, and I think I've never been charged by customs for his shipments. There's always a risk, you know, it depends on your country and it's out of Kit's control, but I'd say the risk is much lower than purchasing from other companies (except if they're in your country of course). Also, when checking out, you can give him notes, so keep sure they mark the price as low as possible there.

Yeah site isn’t loading for me either.

What the actual ****, that's phenomenal. I quite literally went slackjawed going through the photos. WOW.

One of the most peculiar things which blows me away was I hadn't noticed looking through the listings the difference between sculpted vs rooted. I was waiting for some elaborate base or extra to make an appearance. That's some -insanely- good sculpted hair, it's spot on to the framing and look Aragorn often has.

Oooohho this is tough. Gandalf is rooted by default...this is a way to go all in on rooted for the line...my wallet says no but my heart says all in on InArt LOTR. This is the type of line that you get to keep in the living room display because your SO loves LOTR just as much.

I oddly feel bad for Asmus. They seem to actually like the source material, since isn't Andy (I think his name is) ex-Weta? It must be pretty gutting to see this roll out of the gate for another company. How can you measure up to that after working on the license all these years? Credit where credit is due, the GTW release was a massive step forward, but then came Boromir and we went right back.

I don't want to condemn Asmus the way I have Sideshow, but I feel like they should play to their strengths and do a creatures of Middle Earth line. Orcs, Uruks, Nazgul, etc. Much like Sideshow had a shot to make supporting cast creatures for Star Wars, Asmus could really exist alongside InArt in a complementary fashion. I know the availability of each respective brand's product is different, but...

 

[Kit Chen]

the site laggy for me too but seems its fine now

Premium Edition is $480 from OSK, but what's the official price?

 

[Matthewjc41]

It's back up and pre-ordered!
