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

[HyperDrive]

I definitely plan on getting Frodo and Sam.

My ideal LOTR displays are:

1. Gandalf + Frodo
2. Gandalf / Frodo + Sam + Gollum (if made)
3. Gandalf + Frodo + Sam

These are the only characters I envision wanting from LOTR.

With Frodo’s hair being as curly and disheveled as it is (all the Hobbits, really), I wouldn’t even consider Frodo without a sculpted version. After seeing 632589953790 different versions of Aragorn’s hair I definitely don’t trust InArt’s rooting on Frodo.

Might even just get the Asmus version if it comes out nicely when released, save some coin for a possible Boromir.

Couldn’t disagree more with your assessment on various points. Respectfully, I think you should just call it with INART, they’re clearly not your cup of tea.

Depends. The honeymoon is over.
Now wait and see if they rethink the feedback they've gotten, and I'm in a corner crying because I missed Legolas.

The hype will continue for me, thank you very much.

Yeah, I'm sure InArt is doing just fine and I'm happy for them. I still believe what they're doing is great. Great figures, and great for the hobby.

For me, each figure is a case by case. I'll likely PO Legolas... but it's the first time I've been halted by InArt's pricing. I think its more than I like Gandalf and Aragorn very much, but have less affinity for Legolas as a character and as a figure. So the higher price makes it even tougher.

I think the only InArt figures I would plunk down big money for again, even sight unseen, would be InArt Darth Vader (ANH) and InArt Indiana Jones.

Pretty much where I am mentally with this line.
Despite LOTR being my favourite thing ever, money is finite and I too have less affinity with Legolas to put these kind of funds towards him - especially as that would kind of "lock" me into getting the whole, or at least most, of the Fellowship - and thats before we even talk about secondary characters like Saruman, Galadriel, Elrond or even tertiary characters like Lurtz who I would be more interested in buying.
Really beat myself up over the decision but I'm pretty much decided to, reluctantly, leave Legolas.

Would love an Inart Indiana Jones, but so far in terms of movie figures I think they've only done licenses run by WB - like Harry Potter, LOTR and DC.
