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

[user 67922]

Does rooted hair hold up over the years? like shape and strength or will it eventually become brittle? Is it hard to keep dust free? My knowledge of rooted hair is purely based on my daughter‘s barbies.

Sculpted or rooted; we all will win with our highly collectible movie accurate ARAGON 1:6 figure.

They seem to have taken the image down now, probably to correct that. And another InArt English translator bites the dust.

Considering all the products that have been approved that don’t look remotely like Viggo, they can probably rest assured that they’ll get the green light irrespective of how well they do.
Unless it’s actually Viggo who hates seeing himself reproduced accurately so insists that a ‘just passable recognition’ is as good as we’re allowed.

It’s looking promising from the profile view though. The sculpted hair is well done but I’m all about rooted now.
That list of figures appearing at the show from InArt said we’d see both sculpted and rooted of Aragorn- although it also said we’d see Paul and Harry Potter with the possibility of Batman and Superman as well which is confirmed to not be happening.

Either way, we can likely expect POs for Aragorn to go up this month which is a little worrying as my government seems determined to put everyone but the top 10% into poverty.

Already confirmed Batman and Superman will not be at the event. I asked them last week.

Thank you!

Doll hair usually becomes dry after years and sometimes ends up as a mess,depends which hair they use,especially when glue is used it might cause yellowing and such a problems. Personally I plan to get sculpted hair version, I know rooted looks good, but I want my figures to stay with me for eternity lol also dust is a big enemy,once it goes in you can't do anything as you can't wash it. Dust goes basically in anything. All my figures have sculpted hair and I'm not bothered.

Lol I swear!

hope you guys are right but from that pic, i'm still not seeing a definitive Viggo likeness.
But the sculpted hair looks good.

From this angle, I’m expecting better than what I currently own from Asmus

How can you possibly discern that from one angle from the side?

The first one looks quite good, which figure/statue is that?

Is there a link to seeing this please...?

Here's a pretty lazy edit I did to compare his side profile.
The figure looks like he has a much calmer expression, but the eyes and eyebrows look perfect to me.
The mouth on the figure is missing the slight curve upwards in the corners, but that might be due to the expression.
As for his nose, it looks like Viggo's can be more rounded or pointy from the side depending on the angle.... also, it looks like the nose bridge might start a little high up (on the figure it looks like it starts right under the brow vs mid-eye-level), but again, could be difference in angles (No nosegate here, PLEASE).
Either way, I think this looks amazing from the one photo of "Aragon" we've gotten.

Like all of their sculpts so far, I don’t think it’s gonna be perfect but will definitely be next level compared to everything else out there so far for LOTR figures. Certainly looks better than all of Asmus offering alone with that side profile shot already.

Actually surprised by how good the sculpted hair looks there. Didn’t think they would capture his messy hair that well in sculpted format. Their rooted version is gonna look even better.

Almost positive that's the Asmus Aragorn "Slim" re-release they did that had less accessories and a rooted sculpt.
Crazy amount of futzing must have gone into the hair for the photo to make it look that good, though, Chopper!

Very excited for this! With Gandalf and Aragorn and then Legolas, I want at least the full fellowship.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

The problem I have is; I’ve never been a LOTR nut but, InArt is so darn good (I know just protos currently) that it’s just too hard to resist.

Same with Pennynise (although I did resist that) I don’t think I’ll be able to with this if it’s as good as I hope it will look.

As one who’s never spent money on any of these and has no bias because of that, there’s an obvious quality and accuracy jump between InArt and the other 3. And that’s just by comparing the profile view.

This seems to be the one most are tuning into....

 

[Gipetto0812]

profile looks really good and I'm digging what I'm seeing with the sculpted hair. Looks nice enough similar to the Sideshow 1/5 statue which IMO has one of the better Viggo likenesses and hair sculpts in any scale.

Where's all the "Production" images at this show.
