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

[Earth 616 Collector]

True, I only own two InArt figures, Aragorn and Superman and Aragorn magnets are super weak compared to Superman. While Superman is taller and heavier magnets hold him well, Aragorn is another case, I have him stuck in the tight display, he can't fall lol It would be nice if InArt included optional crotch grabber for these.

Starting with Legolas, I believe they have done away with the magnetic bases.

Topo cloak finally came in

That's upsetting. I feel like I'm the only one that likes the magnetic bases.

What are y’all using as a display base, my magnets seem to be super weak, and I’m very nervous about his future lol

Mine is base-free!

No base for me

I'm not a fan of Gandalf's base, but I really like the design of Aragorn's, so I'm using them both for uniformity's sake. It's true the magnets don't work half as well as they should, so I just try to find poses that are stable without a base and then plop them on top.

Living on the literal edge lol

I use HT Star Wars crotch grabber bases. Gotta secure the INART figs lol

I'm with you, I like them. Some have been stronger than others, but no problems so far on my end.

I like the magnet bases as well, but I don't agree that they need to be stronger. Kaustic Plastiks magnet bases are a great example that they can be done well. InArt just needs to use stronger magnets

Trying to work on the hair on my 2nd Aragorn and wash out some of the curls. Feel like it's starting to come along.

Bought myself Aragorn for Christmas...best present I got lol! I love this figure, and new I would have to grab it when it was announced. I used to own the ACI version, which at the time I thought was amazing, but this is hands down one of the best figures I own. So where does one find this Topo ranger cloak?

Thank you. It took several attempts

Looking great! What did you use to wash out the hair product? Any particular shampoo or just water?

 

[spaceghost2000]

Does the Topo cloak require washing to rinse excess dye?

No but I've found it difficult to hold a good water treated shape due to the polyester fabric. Wish they had used cotton for it.

I've just been using warm water on a makeup brush. Trying it first by keeping some of the product in it right now.

Any recommendations for a 1/6 horse to go with Aragorn?

Checked out of curiosity. Looks gone at least for now on OneSixthKit. OneMansHobby has it, but never ordered from them. Or E-bay at a mark-up from China. You might have to search for it on FB and other places. You could dare to ask Kit if he will get any more in. Not sure how he feels about inquiries on stuff that was originally a PO at OneSixth. But maybe he will get a few more in.

If you want to be particular and aiming for a Brego, he/they was a Dutch Warmblood and Brego was a dark bay. JXK has a Dutch Warmblood on Ebay. Aside from that, any dark bay Thoroughbred type IMO. Not that I am a horse expert, but you wouldn't want a draft type horse or Arabian. Suspect some of these 1/6 horses aren't *technically correct* as far as the breed type anyway. I usually look for something close and on sale as 1/6 horses aren't that cheap a lot of times.
