Got replacement head from Kit, he was extra and used premium packaging 
this time it is perfect! No freckle on the nose either (I have two now, one with freckle and one without lol)also got Hot Toys Star Lord with it and I still don’t get why InArt is as overrated. Star Lord is fantastic, his skin paint is very realistic and detailed, hot toys truly upgraded their game. While Aragorn has no defects this time, his skin paint still looks somehow dirty, like there are few shades put on without blending, which in the end gives a dirty look and I know that’s not a part of artistic choices. Gonna keep the head in that premium box to avoid nose damage in the figure box as I can’t display him rn.

Didn't you destroy your 1st HS with nose freckle?
I would avoid them. Customer service basically doesn't exist. You'd have a better chance getting an email response from my dead grandmother.

To me this isn't accurate elven cloak material at all, or even something a bit plush like ASMUS microsuede.
The real cloaks are thin, yes. Thin woven wool with a distinct pattern. You can buy a real one https://stansborough.co.nz/product/lord-of-the-rings-trilogy-licensed-fellowship-fabric-cloak/
Initially I figured the "premium" InArt would, yah know, maybe commission a special woven fabric or at least have a print to scale of the weave of the real thing. Instead this is cheap speckled nylon or polyester. InArt probably figures most won't care or notice like with Legolas' council cloak. Myself I push to the back because it looks - cheap and unfinished.
I just don't get why so many are giving InArt a free pass on the quality and the missing cloak?
You only get things when you voice your displeasure. This is a 400-500 dollar figure here. I will not lie to justify my purchase.
I am not satisfied, with the rooted hair nor my missing cloak. I am very worried about the stand and the head paint at this point
Packed up my Aragorn's....rooted to sell and the other till I get a better stand.

Really liking the figure. I usually live in the Star Wars realm and dab into Marvel, but this figure just felt pretty special. Haven’t been as excited to set up a figure in awhile, and I’m not done tinkering yet. At moments I wish I would have went with rooted, some of peoples pics are amazing, but with my luck I’d just mess up the hair. So it was better to play it safe.

For myself I try to be fair; trying to think if I ever bought a figure that I thought was just plain *&^%, across the board. Well maybe he's not complete *&^% but wasn't thrilled with CW Bucky - IMO not a great head sculpt with plain paint, pants too short, the boots were curved so without a stand he just falls over - tho he was the first with a shiny, shiny arm. Plus a reused rifle accessory.
There are things that bug some people and don't bother others. InArt has done some good stuff with Aragorn - very nice detailing and accessories; so far feels like a sturdy body; pretty good sculpt. He LOOKS good on the shelf. And for folks like me who like to add stuff, he's a good starting point.
I think it's like Gipetto? said in an earlier comment - InArt is a choice, not necessarily THE choice. To be charitable - so OK, maybe if they had boosted the tunic and cloak quality, threw in a crotch stand, more arrows, better hair and paint QC it would have boosted the cost even higher. I don't know. Personally I could lose the fancy box and fancy stand and packaging which will just get stored, in favor of better QC. As well as premium customer service instead of acting like it's a bother to deal with customers.

No, I haven’t complained about freckle one. I got two copies last month, freckle one was considered as a “good one” in my eyes as it isn’t as obvious and his face is covered into these weird oversized freckles. Other one had a paint chip on the nose and that’s the one I destroyed and got the replacement for. If I go back and complain about the freckle Kit gonna lost his mind lol definitely gonna put Superman under the microscope tho. InArt beware of me lol
This is the freckle one, doesn’t photograph well, but it’s there. Not as dark as on other copies tho.

even through the plastic jar he looks better than the HTs to me.Oh god not again. Mark why are you not happy with the rooted hair? show us a picture. Why are you very worried about the stand and head paint lol
I have to whip it out to show you mine is bigger? Trust me it is.
My rooted hair is already put away for sale.
I can take a pic of my sculpted, but like why would I for you? Just read my posts and everyone else's.

I spent some time yesterday trying to style the hair, I think this will do for now. Loving this figure.
