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

[Scout Trooper]

you will see detail reviews in few days

I ordered the rooted in October, last it was available.

It's going to be a long wait for me isn't it?

If Kit has Aragorn figures in hand...that's awesome, makes it feel a lot closer to me receiving the figure than if it's just a bunch of YouTubers getting them.

Gandalf disagrees.

Yeah their Gandalf actually looks better than the initial prototype that went up for pre-order.

I'm sure even if Kit has Aragorn in hand it's not for us customers.
By the way, Batman is still not available for us.

Just so I'm ready, what usually happens with OSK pre orders that need to be paid off? Do we just get an email when they are ready to take payment, or do I need to keep checking their website? I know it's likely a few months off still, but I've never used them before and don't want to do something stupid like mess up my order by missing the payment.

They will email you the invoice

Email invoice.

I think Kit also allows you to manually pay instalments iirc

You can also pay in full upfront, like I did a few weeks ago. Gonna pay it anyway, so better get it off my to do list.

I gotta get right on that and start paying in installments. Don’t wanna get caught with an invoice that makes me go:

I actually thought it was a different sculpt in this photo. For jokes.

Is that real?

If Kit shared it, it's definitely the real deal. We'll just have to wait for a proper review to make our mind on the final result.

I just thought Kit was messing/joking around

Surprised he has received his stock if the influencer batch only just gone.

I don't think that's actual stock. Most likely a sample for review.

Going by Gandalf, Pennywise and Joker this will be pretty close to the proto as you couldn't better it.

Gandalf was a step up from the proto. Funny how JND hype died but inart still got us!

Who?

 

[IAmIronMan]

All right, Kit is a master troll. Taking the "unfutzed" amateur first shot of a figure to the next level haha. Very excited and nervous to see reviews. Hopefully they can keep their streak of proto to production going.

I think the key thing to make or break an Aragorn sculpt is the paint apps. Some of the earlier figures from SSC, Asmus and…sorry I don’t remember the other companies, but their attempts had a decent sculpt but ruined by paint apps. Like so:

I saved these pics from the Asmus thread years ago with the desire but never to be fulfilled aspirations of modding my Asmus Aragorn to look like that. But as you can tell the base sculpt was actually pretty decent, only for the sculpted hair and paint apps around the beard to throw it all off.

Then we have these:

I can’t put my finger on what’s throwing it off. It’s clearly not right, and if anything he looks more like boromir here. Then with slight adjustments, we get:

I’d like to hear others thoughts on this. What makes or breaks Aragorns portrait?

October 2023? I guess it’s like 4-5 month after 1st batch dispatch…
