Seems like this will be a hefty piece

$360 vs $180 at BBTS?

Thanks for the link - preordered

vs. OneSixth but yeah, there's times Kit is the only vendor I trust to get stuff I can't get anyplace else. Or, since I buy my figs accessories, I won't spend more than 100$ - if that - ordering from China direct. There's cool stuff from China but figure there's no way if there's an issue I'd get my money back from an e-bay seller.

Like I'm trusting Kit will get me the RANGER CLOAKs I ordered, or at least a refund. I guess my head canon needs to be that Aragon is hunting Gollum on the borders of Harad and it's really hot so he ditched his cloak.
Or being Aragorn he gave it away to a poor peasant.

Seems like this will be a hefty piece

Yeah, but if you have room, and shelves that can take any weight, I think "neutral" diorama bases add a lot to a display. Am amazed at the nice bases Phicen does for some of their girly warrior figs.

Question on the Shards of Narsil statue, I know there's already a product that exists but I was pondering what it would take to see if a true 1/6 scale version could be made. The thing that bakes my noodle right now is that it seems like there are two different version in the films. In FOTR, the 'fabric' under the shards is sculpted, but in ROTK, it looks more like actual fabric, like velvet.

Fellowship of the Ring

Return of the King

Any thoughts? Or maybe they are both velvet, just different shades? I don't think it's supposed to be the same color in both films, as I'm not sure color grade and lighting could do that. Obviously the orientation of the shards themselves are different.

I guess the real question is, if you could commission a new sculpture, would you have the fabric be sculpted or actual fabric?

To my eye, it looks like the same prop/set and it looks like fabric in both. Possibly just shot under different lighting conditions? (Velvet is very lustrous and kind of famous for looking different under different light.)

If I was commissioning a statue, I'd definitely go with real fabric if I could find one thin enough with the right texture.

 

[Chopper Face]

It’s definitely fabric in both.
Just look at how it interacts with the shards- specifically the cross-guard.

I love this figure. Makes me wish I got Gandalf.
