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

[Kalkylen]

I like that term "draft". I think they should use it rather than "prototype" for these first efforts.

Not the Ringwraith I was expecting from InArt. The exposed head connector/disc/whatever it is, the hemmed sleeves, the oversized appearance of the Nazgul on its steed... and he's just not tattered enough, slouched enough, or creepy enough.

I got more out of the Asmus 9 years ago...

Looks incredible!

 

[Kalkylen]

The armor on the legs and hands and all the swords are diecast, so I doubt they will price it under $300.

They are on the last Asmus version too.

Bingo, that’s what they’re missing, presence. It also looks better without a base.

 

[Chopper Face]

Really doesn’t need to be diecast.
I have the ACI Ringwraith on the Asmus steed and the weight of the armour has left the wraith loose, sagging, and unposable and it’s 50/50 if the legs of the horse will hold up much longer.
All of the straps/harnesses have completely rotted away to dust as well.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Wow... mine is on top of my detolf right now, looks the same as my photo above from 2015, no deterioration. Yet.

Oh wow, I didn’t know that.

This feels like “teacher wants to see our rough draft, cobble somethign together so we can get credit for today”

 

[Mr.Tanker]

Given InArt's track record so far, I am willing to believe this is an "in-progress prototype."

 

[Kalkylen]

Never forget...
This...

To this!

Just don’t ever touch it again.
I’d expect those straps are just waiting for a strong gust of wind blow them away Thanos-snap style.

My Mouth of Sauron Steed and Samwise’s belt are in the same sorry state. .

 

[Mr.Tanker]

I think the color and scale of the horse looks good.

 

[redxavier]

It's always felt weird to me to have this on their list, which I suppose is another way of thinking this is a 'wasted slot'. Perhaps it would have been an easy figure to do and customers may have bought more than once. Still, this is the 'best headsculpts in the business' guys doing a figure wihout a face.

If they could get this figure released this year, I'd be impressed, but if it's going to be 2 years only to get this...? It does feel like InArt have stretched themselves too thin with too many licenses.

Oh no... I still have Mouth and Steed in its box... uh-oh...

 

[Mr.Tanker]

I just noticed that there are seams where the horse legs meet the body. Same for the neck. I wonder if there will be interchangeable legs, like the Hot Toys Dewback, which would allow you have different poses. (And some variation, if you buy more than one.)

 

[Wor-Gar]

Why does every Nazgul figure have a seam on top of its head?

 

[Chopper Face]

The armour on Guritz and Gothmog also just started dropping off from the pleather deteriorating to nothing. Flakes everywhere.
Been meaning to replace all the straps their crappy bodies it their top shelfers so the damage isn’t that visible.

You seem to be surrounded by crumbling dolls, disintegrating back to the dust from which they came. Ashes to ashes.

You are the Doll Killer.

The biggest flaw of the Asmus Nazgul, and InArt flat out repeats the same mistake.
I'm hoping/assuming they fix this in one of their next iterations, but to me that makes it seem like somebody didn't do their homework.

Thats interesting, I have Gothmog for over 10 years now and still in pristine condition, nothing deteriorating. Maybe at most I touched it 10-20 times during these 10 years.

I wonder if the base and the hooves are magnetic....
