InArt Thorin Oakenshield 1/6 Figure

[Sassafras]

It would be my next 1/6 purchase as I have decided to not preorder Legolas!

Yah, just can't bring myself to PO Legolas, for various reasons.

IMO they did a fine job with Gandalf's hair, far as I can tell e.g. it looks pretty luxurious, which Thorin & dwarves should have.

Plus for me aside from this being my favorite ME character, there's the axe and cloak.

Edit: I'd be willing to pay a lot for a battle Thorin and ram. Or goat. As well as Dain.

Wow Thorin looks fantastic. He, Bilbo and Thranduil are the only figures I would get from the trilogy.

Guess there's some more movement on this one.

Thanks for the post; put myself on the list even if I can't order direct

Yeah even if there's a sculpt "downgrade" which I personally didn't notice with Aragorn (tho I appreciate the custom paint improvements) pretty impressive.

I'll happily add him to my ASMUS Thorins. Nicely plenty of display/customizing options.

Does this mean Thorin makes three LOTR/Hobbit preorder figs by Inart in one year?

That looks like a set photograph. Insane sculpt.

Shush! Don't give them ideas.

Maybe not?
I get a feeling one of the reasons Legolas is so expensive is because Inart believe they can charge more, whereas most collectors wouldnt pay as much for a Hobbit trilogy character.

As cool as Thorin is I rather they had done and revealed Gimli as that would have been a most wanted figure. Though this isn't to bad.

IMO as a "premium" depending on what Inart definition of "premium" is, Gimli would cost even more than Thorin. Gimli also has full hair with braids. Then there's the "real" chain mail which would be pretty involved to do it screen accurate. If InArt wants to top ASMUS they will need 5 diecast axes too.

I'll stick with my ASMUS Gimlis.

IMO Legolas is expensive because of the hair work needed.

Looks so good. It will be interesting to see if they use real leather on the coat or cop out and use some pleather or a similar naff material to the Aragorn coat.

This is what we call a Yondu or Aragorn prototype level figure.

Yep. Looks like an actual mini-Thorin, very alive looking.

Or a movie poster.

Meanwhile, InArt is thinking very hard about Legolas

Yah, they will. Guessing that's how InArt makes a profit and keeping costs down. A bit. At least base on my Aragon cloak, coat, etc. Dunno how many people look hard at the material itself vs. drape and all that. Like with Aragorn's cloak some reviewers were so happy about how thin it was; myself it just looked like unfinished thin cloth. Not what I had expected. His knife and sword are beautiful tho.
