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

[Hologram AI]

Some unboxing shots. It's essentially triple boxed. INART already double boxes and then Kit boxes on top of that. Another benefit with Kit with these figures since I think Gundamit/GianToy just ships it out without extra boxing but someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Great packaging and the sculpt looks amazing right out of the container. Keep in mind that due to the long beard, the bottom portion is spread out and flat when you first take it out. You'll want to wet your finger tips a bit and gently pull it down. Only takes 30 seconds to do this. Also keep in mind you'll want to rotate the head clockwise and then pull. It states it on the container but a warning for those who miss it. You won't be able to just grab it and yank it out.

Will get to the rest of his stuff in a bit. I've just been staring at the sculpt and rooted work for a good minute now. Haven't even gotten to anything else.

Beautiful pics @Hologram AI ! Absolutely incredible! What was everyone's excuse on passing on this guy again?

Mine landed in Chicago over the weekend, but because of the Holiday I probably won't see in till Wednesday or Thurs.

For Gundamit, I think it usually depends on the item. most 3P/KO transformers don't often come with a shipper box. Sometimes not even an artbox (ToysMage Megatron and IT02 Dinobot come to mind).

For my MP45 Bumblebee and MS Optimus EX-they were wrapped in bubblewrap then put in a shipper box with corner protectors covered/wrapped in their branded shipping plastic and heavy tapping.

For my PlayToys Diecast MK6 KO, it came with it's own shipper, but they wrapped the shipper in bubblewrap w corner protectors, then covered/wrapped in their branded shipping plastic. '

So, based on that, I'm guessing Gundamit will wrap the InArt shipper box in bubblewrap and add corner protectors but not doublebox.

WOW!

Magnificent shot! Could almost be a still from the film. I am absolutely blown away looking at this one.

Hope to see some kind of Middle Earth bases from @Cocoboloboy soon, I think this figure is going to be absolute perfection on one of those.

 

[Gipetto0812]

You got a good one!

Will this be the reverse of TDK Joker? The early one come out better than the later ones?

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

God, I love the way they ship the heads in those tubes. Really shows care and pride in the product.

 

[Wor-Gar]

The early one come out better than the later ones?

I hope not -- I'm way down the list.

its beautiful! Congrats!

Made a quick calculation, from PO until having the figure in hand took in Gandalf's case 509 days. 72 weeks 5 days. 16 months 21 days (18.05.2022-09.10.2023)
Just for future reference in case people ask how long to wait for X or Y figure.
I think they can reduce this time to 12-15 months.

Edit:
In the case of Aragorn we are at 275 days as of today.
If they release it in lets say March 2024 they will still only be at 418 days on 1st of March.
So they are already way faster.

None delivers the final product of this quality yet. Happy times. Hope for the best for InArt.

I'm speechless. This is even beyond any greatest expectation. Eagerly waiting for my invoice... and looking forward to Aragorn: providing InArt doesn't screw up the whole thing, that will certainly be the holy grail of 1/6 scale figures. What a moment to be a LotR figs collector!

@Kit Chen you are the best of the best ! Thanks !

 

[Spiln3r]

Gandalf received from Kit too.
Exceptional figure! I took some photos but i didn"t had time for futzing
It's more or less out of the box (sorry for the quality of the photos, my Phone is old now)

 

[Stryker2011]

Holy cow! This is a thing of beauty. The wait is killing me. I only have one of these on PO, but I did PO 2 Aragorns (rooted hair only). So excited to get this fellow & his other companion.

Would really love to see that staff light-up outside... if you ever take requests.
