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

[Hologram AI]

Do people here generally not care for 1/12 stuff?

I collect a few 1/12 figures for properties that are ignored by 1/6 companies. Mainly video game figures. For example, I have Figma's Dead Space figure shipping soon. A figure we won't see a 1/6 company do besides the very old Threezero ones from years and years ago.

I also really enjoy that 1/12 figures are far more fun to pose without the worries and limitation that 1/6 scale figures bring.

Finally I can display my Aragorn with complete confidence. I picked up this clear transparent stand from eBay. Extra money I wish I didn't have to spend but I am happy with it....

Neat!

I also don’t use the magnetic bases.

It’s my main scale; cheaper, more posable, just fun to pick up off the shelf play around and put back plus some properties you’d never expect to get figures (not to mention some 3rd party companies put out incredible quality stuff).
⅙ was meant to be just significant figures that can standalone for me at first but it’s expanded a bit too much, need to pare down the collection in both scale really.

Keeping it LOTR:
Diamond Select has been putting out 7” figures for £20-25 and the initial ones are very rough, I collected them mostly on the hope they’d improve in quality and the build-a-fig Sauron (which ultimately was just ok). They were taller than 1:12 though so didn’t fit mix well.

Fortunately Bandai (S.H.Figuarts) just teased a 1:12 Frodo & Strider which really caught my attention.

That looks pretty dang good! Can you please link to the specific stand you got on eBay? I might want to get one of these for when my Aragorn arrives...

My gift to you my friend. Not cheap as it cost me just shy of $30 Canadian. Money I should no be spending.

Mine arrived. I actually was going to sell it as the excitement had wore off but when I opened it to check it all out I changed my mind instantly, it really is a lovely figure. My god though, the eyes wind me up, such a stupid design, so hard to replace the head without touching the stick and moving the eyes. (phone pics)

You love to see it.

As much I love the dressed down look, I think I prefer the kitted out look, so I messed with his hair a bit and reposed him to look more casual to match Gandalf's pose.

Mine has been stuck at Sydney Airport for a few days.
Urghgg.
