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

[Scout Trooper]

I’ve been following the thread on the OSK group. Lots of people saying their rings look similar. Apparently there are also differences with the envelope too, though I wouldn’t be too fussed about that. View attachment 703192

That is... shady

This is a good reminder as my 1 month anniversay with this figure is coming up so I should inspect my box incase I get some duplicate hands or something.

That's a little scary -- mostly about the ring. InArt prided themselves on adding the writing to that tiny ass ring, so to then not supply it seems... yeah, shady.

Who got a 'proper' ring?

I just checked my Ring and it has the Black Speech inscribed. I was going to get a picture of it, but the writing is so small my phone camera couldn't really capture it all that well.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I looked at pictures I took when I first opened Gandalf to check -- never took the ring out of that little bag, but I think I can see the shadow of writing on the ring. I'm going to have to open the damn box again tomorrow to make certain.

Is the ring supposed to be metal? Mine doesn't have any inscription. This is definitely InFart work.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

This is crazy!

I'm in last batch for Aragorn.
This is concerning.

Truly shocked some poeple got a blank ring, missing moth etc. that definitely shouldnt be happening at this price point. Hope they can contact inart somehow about this, and maybe they can send the missing iten or replacing the ring. I can see the marks on mine but difficult to photograph. Maybe i was one of he lucky ones that didnt have any issues with anything. Like i said this shouldnt be happening. Everyone should to get the same thing they paid for period.

Just checked mine -- got a good envelope and a ring with the writing. Hard to tell if its really metal or not in its microscopic size.

You captured it very clearly.... looks precious!

I just checked my two, if anyone is curious the preorder one has a white pouch sealed by an "InArt" sticker, the ring inside has the inscription and the envelope is dirty. My second one bought way after release (not a preorder) has a white pouch that has no sticker but is instead sealed by a glue strip, this ring inside also has the inscription, but the envelope is a bit cleaner than my first envelope. Funny that the sticker and envelope dirtiness is different, but the rings for both my early and late batches have the inscription.

Yes, mine had the frosted white pouch sealed with a clear, round InArt sticker.

My precious.....

Nada on mine and the gold finish is not the same as well. It looks dull. This plus the blutac inside the head makes me think my Gandalf was assembled with leftover parts. Lol! I haven't inspected the rest of the figure as I haven't had time for it but it makes me wonder what else is a miss with it.

Damn the lighting on this last shot makes it truly look real!
