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

[conni]

Thank you for your experience with KGH guys, I am now very reassured.

I went with TNSfigures. They are reliable... INART 1/6 Scale Lord of The Rings - Aragorn Premium Edition (Pre order deposit)

This guy looks pretty amazing but price was a bit painful. Still, the rooted hair looks so perfect.

Yeah, good enough I shelled out for the rooted version even tho this isn't my favorite character, but figured if I was gonna get an Aragorn, might as well. Probably will help with articulation; there's any number of figs I have like Thor and Qui-Gon; Legolas and Faramir I think would have benefited from rooted hair (I have v1 and v2 of ASMUS Legolas).

I bought the standard edition for Aragorn and the deluxe edition for Jokor. I now know what it feels like to be apart of the hoi polloi & elite all at once.

It's funny because I did a reverse.

I went from no way am I spending that much to saying it depends on how much to getting one of each. Crazy times.

I’m selling off stuff that pales in comparison- unless it’s super unique or im super fond of it, it’s going into the super fund to subsidize the additions of InArt’s masterpieces. My grandfather used to go with the philosophy that he’d rather have one really nice suit than three lesser suits for a host of reasons. I’m liking that concept when you see this kind of effort from the company. It’s moving from a glorified toy to multimedia, articulated artwork

And yet, to everyone outside of the hobby-

 

[Nyhargo Dirge]

Yeah, I get that, too

Ordered a standard and premium from OSO. Now waiting for the Harry Potter reveal(s).. looks like inart will be getting all my money this year

I'm in the same boat. I'm starting to look at my Hot Toys and other 1/6 with some disdain. The ones that aren't good enough are about to go back in the boxes and eventually sold. I feel like I may be pivoting to an Inart collection. Buy fewer HT and just get the Inart releases that interest me. I'd be spending around the same amount and have more shelf space.

I appreciate that the insanely high quality of these causes other stuff to pale - and inspires me to make space. It’s kinda liberating. I’m turning into an action figure minimalist snob.

“I detect oaky notes with a hint of bergamot in Aragorn’s gauntlet.”

Same has happened to me. I was always going to have a scaled down collection anyway, I started to get too many Hot Toys however, bu JND and Inart have made it now that even when I see the new Hot Toys advertised, they look like toys - the anatomy and quality of materials in the Inart and JND just look real, and like the actor is inhabiting the clothes and makeup, in essence Hot Toys look like great toys, the others are the next step of scaled down actors.

Welcome to the club

Just ordered the premium version off of Spec Fiction. He is too much of a work of art to ever pass up. I already started cancelling Hot Toy and Damtoys orders to make way for InArt. Conserving space and funds is going to be key here. Aragorn and Gandalf will be so much better display pieces than Snowspeeder Luke, Lando, Leon from RE2, and another Boba Fett. And I love Star Wars...

I also put in orders for All-In Batman and TDK Joker. I wish the rooted version of Joker was available as a single. Just couldn't do 1k for 2 versions of the same figure. At least Batman had 2 different figures and a batsignal. I can safely say I'm aboard the InArt hype train. Anxiously waiting Harry Potter next lol.

With the arrival of InArt, I'm more consciously curating my collection now (alliteration unintended). I'll happily pass on second tier characters like Vision and Antman or endless reissues and 2.0s to get a second rooted hair Aragorn. However, I'm not all in on rooted hair for the other 1/6 lines I collect, just the Middle Earth stuff atm.

I wouldn't want a rooted hair Thor for example even if InArt gets the license and make an Aragorn-level super lifelike version because to me he's just one of dozens of characters from an enormous comic inspired entertainment franchise. He can keep looking more toy-like and I'll stick with a $300 version rather than a $480 version.

Middle Earth on the other hand is like fine art to me and I want options like this that better reflect that so bring on rooted hair Legolas, Boromir, hobbits etc.

But a real-hair Ant-Man with smiling sculpt is the bees-knees.

Just preordered the standard with kghobby, it was the only one showing on site so figured the premium had been snapped up, then seen it up a couple of days ago, got in touch was able to get full store credit back and literally nabbed the final premium 5mins ago, blessed lol.

For sure. When the InArt deluxe Joker was revealed it finally gave me the motivation I needed to stopped dragging my feet on the tons of stuff I wanted to sell. That's how I paid for it. None of my Joker money was really "out of pocket".
