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

    Just had another look at my figure...the thumb holes are on the opposite side of the sleeve, not even near his thumb!

    Yeah no way mine will slot in like that video shows. The sleeves barely cover the wrist as it is.

    I've tried both methods and there us absolutely no give on the material at all. I'm going to make some long mittens instead. Seems like less hassle! Terrible oversight on InArt's behalf that.

    Yes there are some utterly shocking straight out of the box pictures that people are putting on their shelf and calling it done...this figure HAS to be futzed and water treated to do it justice.

    Get in touch with your retailer about a replacement ASAP!

    It's frustrating as when you look at the level of detail in the stillsuit on Paul Atredies with all those layers, piping and stitching and whatever material they are using for it, it looks incredible. Which is why I don't think it's too much to ask for Aragorn's very simple yet subtly detailed...

    I think until we see some updated photos, it's hard to know how close this is to being released given their new update. The fact that they are still adjusting it now is both good and frustrating but I'd much rather wait until it looked as good as possible before being released. Looking at their...

    I've done that a few times already to be honest. I bombarded them with reference photos when the first images were released which lead to them correcting the belt and buckle, sword straps, boot height, and the black leather detail on the right coat sleeve :) There are other issues like the lack...

    Really hope they have fixed the coat fabric and fit. Oh and used the correct textured fabric for the elven cloak which even Sideshow did right years ago...

    Ordered from Kit on the day the pre-orders went live so hopefully in the first batch.

    I'm still waiting on my Nazgul I ordered from them two years ago!! They've been ignoring my messages since August... They used to be fast and reliable until they starting using sea freight. Never again.

    Yes water treatment on this figure is an absolute must otherwise you are totally selling yourself short! Just follow the InArt guide (either on the instruction page that comes with the figure or their video on YouTube) and it looks so much better.

    I still really like aspects of Crown Asmus GTG but apart from the incredible head sculpt it's the subtle differences on the InArt version that make it so much better. The texture, pleats and embellishments of the robe. The details and paintwork on the staffs. Braiding of the belts and bag strap...

    I'd rather they didn't rush it and make sure to nail the final paint, rooting and improving the costume from customer feedback and observations. I think we are all used to waiting in this hobby, as excruciating as this particular wait is!
