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

[Sassafras]

Should i buy a deluxe or two Standard and try to find two horses and some custom saddlery?

TBH - since just cruising through this thread - IMO buy the DX.

I like dioramas and buying my figs stuff. I bought Aragorn a horse. That will run you around ~200 minimum like for a Mr. Z horse.

Then there's the problem of the right kind of horse. Not every breed is out there as a 1/6, including an Andalusian which was Shadowfax.

The cost of well made tack is up there in 1/6 unless you plan to make your own. That's not "normal" tack either; not with all the straps, rings, etc. Save yourself the pain and get the Deluxe.

Man I wanted to buy 3 soooo bad. What the hell happened to the prices, I'm still upset about it. I bet so many people would have bought more than 1 if the price wasnt 400 fkin dollars.

Should have been a 2-pack at 400. I'd definitely get a pair at that price as would most people I imagine.

Suits InArt though. Twice the money for half the work.

Yeah. That much money for a faceless guy in a crappy bathrobe is nuts.

They should at least mention if they come with wires or not.

I’m still looking at these and I can’t see the value in them.
Like I want them but those prices.
I feel like we are being ripped off.

I can confirm that we are being ripped off. I can also confirm that I have already ordered this, and Legolas.

This hobby in a nutshell.

I mean even $300 for figures seems like a ripoff sometimes. I've seen non-collectors try to guess they price of 1/6 figures and they usually estimate it at like $50 .

Honestly I'd love to see a breakdown of production costs for a 1/6 figure. I wanna know how much profit they are making per figure. But I guess we will never really get insight into that.

The average Joe out there, who views these figures, would likely guess $150 to be nice... and think if it was any more, you'd have to be insane to buy one, let alone many.

I had a friend and her husband over for dinner once, and they demanded to see my collection, and when I showed them, the husband snickered and said: "you're one of those guys"...

People on this board must not have any 'regular people' friends if they think this hobby is normal and/or there is actual value in these dolls over long term. This is an OCD/impulse hobby. If you weren't collecting these, you'd be collecting something else... and most probably have in the past already.

If I wasn't collecting these, I would probably have a my own supersonic aircraft shuttling me between my beach house, and my castle on the other side of the world.
