Ok..so today is my first time of really kitting him out.
How did i do with the belt??
The InArt video doesn't help me,and I suck at reading instructions...

p.s...shhhh, I've forgotten to add the small sword to the belt.
Shhhh.

Boy done good!

This figure is a weird mix of extremes. Absolute joy and abject anxiety I opened him up yesterday and had great fun putting him together and trying to find a pose I liked. But the hair! Still not 100% happy with it and maybe shouldn't have used gloss wax but had no gel around.

And personally finding it hard to photograph (not that I'm very good at it anyway) because lighting seems to significantly change his face. He needs a darker corner of a display to look best IMO.

Feels like a totally different sculpt in that last pic. I'm also now wondering if the hair on mine is a little short especially towards the back.

The forehead as pointed out is capturing any overhead front firing light that distorts the sculpt in photos, it reflects so much light. I find closing his bangs to hug his face closer helps with the photos and tone down the high hairline. It is still a beautiful figure on display. Once I got the hair in a place I was happy he became "no touch" quickly.

You did just fine. Have to admit. I was a little disappointed and shocked at the quality of the belt.

Guess the QC team and the production line collectively really needed that smoke break.

Inart knows the more QC issues they have to fix or refund is going to be giving them a bad rep for future figures. And rightfully so because it's BS to try and sweep it under the rug and hide it. They need to try and actually help or people will start to lose interest in them fast.

Unfortunately, bad reputation means very little in this hobby. Scammers run rampant. Nothing to hold them accountable.

Look at how long, and how much noise it took to take down Toys Wonderland (An extreme and widespread situation).

Although I've seen more than a few people deterred from ordering the new Blade Runner set from por toys, I don't think that's going to put a dent in their business.

Point is, Inart can just go about screwing their customers overseas for as long they're able to.

Speaking for myself, I don't think I'll be invested into this company for much longer. I shouldn't have to feel nervous that my $500 figure will arrive damaged from the factory, without any insurance.

Anyone order from Kghobby and receive their premium Aragorn yet?

My order with them is 6611*

I know they are slower than constipated turds infused with molasses... but I'm just trying to get an idea on where I am on the order list with them.

I actually feel your pain.
The Premium i got is complete and spectacular,photos don't do it justice.
But I'm slowly burning out in the 1/6th scale collection,which is 99.9% Hot toys star wars and i just don't "feel" anything for this figure,despite its awesomeness and my love for the movies.
Maybe I'll decide to sell it off or maybe I just need a break.
But no one should have to be anxious about the QC of a $500+ figure,that much is true.

This is definitely one of those figures that needs to be properly lit. Its infuriating because the ideal lighting for him is just outside the cabinet
