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

[Wor-Gar]

May 18, 2022. That's when it went up for pre-order.

Oh... wonder why it doesn't say "Preorder" then instead of "released"...?



Anyway, absolutely beautiful sculpt, paint and hair... this is what 1/6th was meant to be.

Congrats Wor, looks incredible. Patiently awaiting the email from Kit saying mine is ready one of these days.

happy you finally got him @Wor-Gar

Now, the big question: Which one are you more impressed with- InArt Gandalf or Mars Toys Mr J??

 

[Wor-Gar]

That's actually a surprisingly tricky question.

I love me some nostalgic Jack... and I have always wanted that figure. But Gandalf blows it away in the fine details; clearly the finer figure.

So, technically, I am more impressed with Gandalf.

But still, if I could only take one to a deserted island... which one would I enjoy more? Well... let's just say, have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?

No, it was updated throughout. It had a scan almost every day, of some sort of progress.

Yes, but it's superflous. The Inart box itself is double-boxed. Most figures have a brown shipper, this figure has a shipper for the shipper, and Kit boxes over that.

Ok awesome! Yeah I just filed a missing mail request with USPS, I think the lack of any scan since February 14th is not routine in my opinion. I am hoping it just got forgotten in a corner somewhere and not some employee knew what it was and stole it.

I've had the same experience with no update from DHL handoff to USPS since Feb 9th for a different figure from Kit. Hopefully it all starts moving soon

Arrived! Thanks @Kit Chen !!!!

Did you guys see Kit put up for preorder a stone diorama base for Inart Gandalf.

 

[rivera2171]

Made by Inart too apparently...

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yeah, when did that all come about?

 

[IAmIronMan]

It's tempting but pricey. Hmmmmm

Did you see the forest scene Kit was putting feelers out for? Was looking for volunteers to pay for shipping but the forest scene was free. Only a few though if I remember right.

Any more details on this?

I'm gonna put an order in for the base.

The "all we have to decide" monologue is very special to me, and often what I think about when I see GTG. This fits that really well.

Pretty neat if they're doing diorama bases as a sub category. Will hopefully lead to them being open to selling accessory or sculpt packs down the line.

Does seem to have come out of no where though without any official word. I only see Kit with it? The forest test scene also looks great. Any more info on these? @Kit Chen Are they just doing a test run on bases to see how they do?

I saw that one but not into it. Usually when I think of LOTR scenes mainly Fellowship I think the more greenish wilderness or stone mountains. Not to say it doesn't work.

No I did not. Thanks for the heads up. I just bought the stone base. Will buy the forest one too. Ever since I sold my previous collection I’ve been lacking in bases

Apparently Kit was only asking about 3 at the time being made. I’m sure they are already spoken for by now. It’s on his group on FB if you at least want to try

Inart do have some accessories/products that's selling on their offical site in China

The rock scene is produced by inart

The forest scene is made by other company but inart do selling it

I bought 3 samples and realize the packaging is a bit too simple so I run such give away to test if it can survive international shipping

They do provide a sheet of disclaimer in chinese "grasses or leaf fall is normal"

Would be awesome to see companies do these sort of dios to add to their figures.
I know Asmus did some for their LOTR figures but these also look next level.
Would love to see the doorway to Bilbos house done.

Put an order in for the stone base. Would love to see more stuff like this. Though, at this rate, I'll have the base in hand before I even see Gandalf.
