InArt: The Lord of the Rings - Frodo and Sam

[masterside]

Do you have a link concerning the InArt live?

 

[Earth 616 Collector]

Do you have a link concerning the InArt live?

I don't. Not seeing any thumbnails or anything that happened today on either channel for Queen Studios or InArt.

They had a thumbnail up last night and I got an alert they went live at around 1:30am ET. All you could hear was someone typing and talking in both English and Mandarin. They were saying something about a magnetic chest plate and a drape cape. Then they realized they were lived and said a few things in the chat.

That's when they told us they were testing the livestream to have one that night (China timezone) and that they would get us correct information about the Q&A because of the info that was lost in translation. If they were having a livestream at night, it should have already happened considering it's like 5 or 6am there now.

Saw this on FB earlier…

This seems more legit. All 9

Edit - Looks like this is the same original list, just InArt have now allowed it to be posted to their group.
Thanks for the heads-up Hyperdrive.

Looks like the Fellowship is safe.

Who can we trust?

I'm lost!

 

[Kalkylen]

Until I see a figure up for pre-order, I don't believe a thing.

InArt replied directly to this post thanking them for writing it up.
I think this was from their newest Q&A where they wanted to clarify everything.

INART Collectibles Morfig Thanks for a great event!!!!

Brother… that’s the same list that was already shared by the same person on Facebook 3 days ago. But it was just approved in the INART Facebook group lol that it seems like it’s “new” but it’s not…

Whoever runs INART’s Facebook page isn’t in tune with their actual R&D team….

Damn haha I didn't realise sorry, I thought this was from the new Q&A they said they were going to host.

I've edited the post so I don't cause any confusion, thanks again.

It’s all good man. Blame INART for taking so long to approve things and for even allowing certain posts to even be approved which sometimes leads to even more confusion.. ha.

I think we’ll get some clarifications once WillFoxification streams with Jon. Or if INART goes live themselves, if that ever happens.

 

[cmiller99]

Something else that's not quite right about that more optimistic FB post is that they're insisting Frodo and Sam are planned for 2026 and Gandalf the White for 2025, but that doesn't sit right with me. As far as we know they don't have a license that gives them permission to do Gandalf the White yet, and you'd think they'd want Frodo and Sam done sooner to compete with JND, who announced that they're planning their hobbits for the middle of the year.

I'm very much looking forward to this supposed clarification stream... I want this cleared up, stat.

 

[AssassinHood]

InArt should come out with a date regarding when their live is meant to take place.

Oh I didn’t know that JND had plans too to do sixth scale hobbits. That’s kinda exciting-even with the divisiveness of the company

 

[martoony]

I’m not worried about it at the moment. They make plenty of $$ on lotr and the license covers the whole fellowship movie. Nothing has changed.

 

[JackRusselTs]

Gandalf the white makes zero sense. When they started the line they said they had no plans for it. They wanted these figures to be the quintessential LOTR figures. Idk why they would renege on that.

And I’m a ******* cause I’d buy it too.

I wonder if they acquired the twin towers license?

 

[HyperDrive]

I think we’re getting ahead of ourselves by taking this unconfirmed info at face value..

 

[Wor-Gar]

Gandalf 2025?
Frodo and Sam 2026?
wants to make all 9?

So why are answers ending with "?"

 

[Fuzzy Pickles]

It doesn’t seem like there is actually any new information, and the different bullet lists all seem to be coming from the same couple of sites that initially reported the discontinuation of the line.

I don’t have any Social Media any longer, so I am not sure how best to reach out to InArt to try and get some clarification. It would be best to get word directly from them in a more formal setting.

Even thinking that the line might be in jeopardy has me reviewing how I might collect moving forward. As an example, I might think about getting multiple Sam and Frodo sets, and maybe pick up the Asmus Gollum to have a small Two Towers display.

I also really hope that they include the Hobbit jackets and traveling cloaks, it would be a more complete set and allow for more displays/looks and more sales. Same with the Mirkwood Bow and Quiver for Legolas.

 

[HyperDrive]

yeah I think it was a case of INART saying something along the lines of “x character is in development due for a potential announcement in 2025/2026” and the guys who compiled the information denoted that as a “?”

I’ll wait until we get something more concrete.
