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

[HyperDrive]

Shame on y’all for not believing in INART

 

[webhead05]

2026? So maybe we'll have Frodo in hand by early 2028...

I might not have Gimli until 2030...

OMG, this hobby

With the pricing trends -- and the potential impact of Chinese tariffs -- I'm not too upset about spacing them out, though. Still unsure whether I'll complete the set or stop after Gimli, but at least my Three Hunters will be complete.

That's sort of where I'm at too.

With the way prices are exploding in this hobby, I have no idea if I'll still be collecting. What's even going to be left for me to collect in a few years? Upgraded versions of stuff I already have? It feels like the majority of characters across popular media have been made, or just flat out won't be made.

Knowing so many of these InArt figures are just so far away makes it tough to commit yourself to whatever lines in full.

I'm happy stopping with Gimli. I don't care at all for Merry and Pippin. Boromir is a big maybe for me but unlikely.

Having Aragorn, Gimli & Legolas together while Gandalf stands behind Frodo and Sam is all I really need for LOTR.

A very respectable choice.

I’m good with just GtG and Frodo and Sam myself. I’d potentially get Asmus Gollum for a TT display. One of my relatives is going for the Three Hunters display + GtG. So I’ll get to enjoy them without owning them myself lol.

 

[AssassinHood]

Fun to see how everyone wants their display. I plan to go for the full Fellowship, with the modification of GtW and Black Gate Aragorn, as those are my prefered looks for them.

@Wor-Gar putting his figures back on the shelf in 2037

 

[Hoody999]

On the show they CONFIRMED ALL 9 of the fellowship multiple times. Will take a couple more years to finish. But we are good!

I knew it !!

No way would you stop and leave out Gimli !!

I mean if any LOTR figure was suited to InArt rooted hair it would be Gimli !!

 

[Wor-Gar]

at 1:07:52 John say Gimli could be on the way this year or soemthing like that? Corrrect me please what he says as my native language is not english.

This is the full quote….

“So there’s been some questions about Lord of the Rings. We will be making the full Fellowship but it’s gonna take some time, so Gimli could be on the way…This year, we’re expecting maybe Sam and Frodo, and then next year some more characters from the Fellowship.”

I can see how it’d be confusing since it was like a verbal run-on sentence, but he meant “this year” for potentially Frodo and Sam, NOT Gimli.

Thanks man, wasnt sure where the "this year" part exactly belonged to.

So Gimli will be most likely shown end of this year or sometime next year and we gonna have him up for PO in 2026 and getting him in 2027 or so.

They showed Frodo and Sam just a few weeks back so they wont be up for PO until Q3 or Q4 I guess.

Not going to lie, I kind of want them to release Frodo and Sam, then Boromir, then Merry and Pippin, then give us a curveball with Saruman, and then go back for Gimli last, just so Wor-Gar actually gets his Gimli in 2033.

No problem!

And don’t want to burst the bubble, but I personally wouldn’t expect Gimli until very well into 2026. Honestly, maybe more like 2027 (I really hope not) to see it go up for PO, imo. I know Jon mentioned maybe Frodo and Sam this year, but in Will’s stream they said 2026 more likely and I think that would push out the rest of the Fellowship members.

These guys have goals, plans and a hopeful attitude but I would refrain from getting my hopes up too much. Nonetheless, it’s exciting stuff.

My FOMO is often balanced by my FOBS (Fear Of Being Screwed).

I hope they do a 1/6 Gollum statue. Exposed joints for a character like that looks terrible.

Hell a small statue in with Frodo or Sam (if they do them seperate) as a type of "accessory" would make their standard pricing for a Hobbit + Gollum more palatable.

They could even do 2 sculpts. Different for Frodo and Sam releases. (Happy / Evil sculpts for example).

Gollum is so central to the Frodo and Sam story, even though he is ugly as sin and not much of a collectible (at least the ones which are out there now).

Agreed. However it does seem like they now know the 1/6 game a lot better and are getting approvals and development far further down the line than perhaps their first figures.

That said, I'm fine with staggered LOTR figure releases. Legolas and Ring Wraith+Horse will be a good addition, then some Hobbitses. Then Gimli + Boromir + Sméagol hopefully.

 

[AssassinHood]

I'm glad to see the Fellowship confirmed to be back on track. It'll be a slow burner to get them, but the plus side for me will be that I can focus on eventual ROTS releases from HT this year since I only PO'd Legolas from InArt, and Frodo and Sam most likely won't be shown until next year.

But not only Wor-Gar, but I would get it then as well.

The Asmus Gimli would be 15 years old by then.

I wish I didn’t feel the need to represent many IPs, but yeah, the eventual ROTS 20th announcements are going to be the end of me on top of 6-7 INART POs this year…

The pic about Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli is actually an Asmus Gimli there.



This is their actual height compared to each other.
