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

[Nyhargo Dirge]

Big thanks to Kit for obtaining a second batch of Premiums for slaggards like myself. Getting the Premium to place with Gandalf makes sense for me. Kudos to Kit.

Cheers to OSK/Kit! A solid source for us collectors.

Does it seem there is a greater variety of hair 'condition' on this Aragorn compared to Gandalf? I wonder if they have struggled with the apparent complexity of this hair style.

Today's my first day off since receiving Aragorn!!!!!

That is all I have to add right now.

Of course there is. Because, I suspect, they put a big pile of mohair on the production table, everyone got a reference pic, and if you were lucky whoever was doing your sculpt wasn't dying for a smoke break.

Nothing like the puff piece in the Harry Potter thread, about the careful selection of fiber blah blah. I expected at least they would have consistent fiber - but some got coarse curls like mine, other folks have tighter waves, some nearly straight. Plus some folks literally got more fiber on the sculpts than others.

Thing is, I never thought they'd use mohair with that much curl anyway. I think Viggo's hair was permed at some point, for whatever reason, which would explain why he's got wavy hair in some scenes. His natural hair seems to be straight.

Germany here. Got Gandalf, Harry Potter and Aragorn from Kit.
Never got charged until now. I really don't know what Kit does, but please continue doing so

His "secret" is IOSS shipping :

Yeah it's full on gamble wit the hair, mine is way too short.

I'd be getting a replacement from InArt for hair that short mate, it's unacceptable

Damn I already messaged Kit for a missing part did anyone get a replacement for short hair? I've been away for a short while..

I really hate the short hair, I tried a lot to straighten using anything but nah, it's the best I can do. I thought of maybe getting a second one now as there are a few left with Kit.

I'm not sure if I've heard of anyone ask InArt for a replacement for hair being too short (and I've seen more than a few sadly) but I had the same issue of short hair with the old Asmus Slim Aragorn and they sent me a replacement free of charge and told me to keep the original. That's the kind of service I'd expect from all companies!

Which hair looks better to you in-hand, with more product or less?

I like the style of the hair with less product better but I do prefer the slightly darker hair color on the other one. I think the hair should have been dyed darker overall and then having less product would be perfect.

Needed this guy to style the hair on the figures before release.

I'm shocked there are still Premiums up on OSK. It's really not helping my attempt to be content with my Standard...
