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

[Tolkien Nerd]

I am still amazed by the different hair thicknesses and lengths. Some slightly less and some slightly more.

 

[T800kaz]

The level of variance in the hair is crazy. I just got a second rooted one and it's hair is completely different to my first one. The first had good hair colour but was too curly and maybe a bit too short. Also was never happy with the parting and shape of that one.

The second one is much lighter, has nice waves and the overall length/shape of the hair is much better. Also the paint on the sculpt looks slightly sharper. The hair feels different too.

I hope the hair for future figures becomes more consistent. Shouldn’t have to buy multiples of a figure this expensive to get a good one.

Final batch?

Batch 1

Yeah the variance in hair is pretty appalling across the board with this figure considering the price of it. One of mine has a literal permed ginger bob. Will take a photo of it when I get a chance

Woke up to a nice Christmas gift of the third party ranger cloak order completing and shipping, thanks Kit and Merry Christmas to you too!

The funny - not - part was reading the Harry Potter thread puff piece about how the fiber was carefully selected blah blah.

On a more positive Christmas note, I also have a notice that my Ranger cloaks are shipping. And I ended up with 2 nice Aragorns. To be fair from scene to scene and film to film his hair had more wave; less wave, etc. To a degree there's plenty of "right" ways for him to look.

I'm gonna convert my "wet look" Aragorn to a Helm's Deep version. And hope all will have a good holiday.

That variance is crazy... but I think I actually prefer your early version.

Some of you got really good second batch ones the hair looks way better Mines isn't to bad but has one side a bit frizzy like the product wasn't applied properly.

I actually prefer your first batch hair. The hair on the later batch is a bit too "pretty" imo. It's like he just went to the salon to get it done. The darker hair is also a bit more accurate, although that varied depending on the lighting and wetness of his hair.

That curly messy look is perfect for how sloppy he looked throughout the movie.
