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

    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...

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

    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...

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

    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.

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

    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.

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

    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!

    It's quite funny how few people seem Beautiful photos!! That diorama is incredible. Word of warning though, I'd avoid combing or brushing the hair as you will remove the product. Try stying like a bit if water on your fingertips instead to hold it in place.

    Asmus Toys : 1/6th Theoden

    They used their best sculptor Shand for this, Thorin, Gimli, both Bilbos, Crown GTW and Crown GTG (we know the production piece was trash but the prototype sculpt was amazing) whereas the Asmus owner sculpted Aragorn. Moral is, don't half ass your most popular character.

    Whatever pleather Asmus used on their Borormir figure was perfect but I'd much prefer real leather at this price point!

    It looks like a faux suede rather than the smooth leather of the original costume.

    Not unless they change the wrong material currently being used on the duster coat. I can't tell if the jerkin or boots are real leather but probably not if the main coat isn't.

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

    I've got three premium versions on order so definitely want everything to be as close to accurate as possible. I've already handmade a real leather duster with the correct lacing and leather forearm details for my current Aragorn so would probably use that on one of the InArt figures but would...

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

    Looking at their prototypes for Paul Atredies and Battison, the costume details they have included are exceptional so it's frustrating to see Aragorn's basic but slightly detailed outfit not getting the proper treatment. I mean it's cool they included the details on the shirt but the coat and...

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

    Man don't get me started on that coat. What frustrates me is that if you look at how complex and intricate some of the superhero costumes being produced in 1/6th are now yet they keep overlooking clear and obvious details to this coat. Also the cloak...even Sideshow got the fabric right on...

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

    Utterly incredible head sculpt but the coat looks really bad. Looks so bulky, shapeless and the wrong type of leather. That massive hem up the front is a real eyesore and it's missing the ties at the waist. Really hope they fix it before the final product.
