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

[Hando]

Theres something very weird about the inart rooted hair. It looks natural but sometimes I see pictures where it has a stringy flimsy plasticy look to it

Is it just me or is his coat the wrong material, too thick and too large? It looks more like wool or suede than the smooth (albeit weathered) leather from the movies and it's hanging off his shoulders.

Anybody catch Justin's tour of InArt's office before he had to take it down and edit out the WIP stuff? Pretty sure I saw the outfit for Legolas being worked on. Exciting but if the outfit is still in progress, we might be waiting a bit for it.

Sculpted doesnt look too good here

But the rooted hair looks stringy and plasticy. Does anybody know why it doesnt look as fine and natural and silky smooth like it does here?

Is it the product that makes it look like that?

It could have been freshly styled with water and not fully dry? But yes, I'd imagine they will be using a lot of gel to give the hair that permanently wet look he has in the movies.

Really starting to wonder if the paint apps aren’t as good on sculpted because it is standard versus exclusive.

 

[denrep-lilium]

The haired one looks amazing.

 

[Antarion]

I think they used much styling gel and stuff on the rooted. Still looks amazing.

Was never a fan of sculpted long hair. I think the eye postioning and shadow from the lighting makes a difference here too

Most of these pics are from phone cameras, so I'm going to guess lens distortion/very harsh lighting is creating the waxy look because it's very blue light. It's washing out all the detail.

Here is some more footage

Same sculpt and paint job on both. Just terrible lighting.

 

[Raleig.h]

the futzing at this show has been terrible

 

[RandomHero]

Guys, it's crappy phone cameras and bad lighting lol. Both of these are going to be just fine. Stop looking for reasons to get worked up. They're going to look excellent upon release. Absolutely no reason to pick things apart when they have absolutely no reason to downgrade their product.

This is the first prototype in which the appearance was not very good

It’s likely a production piece, not prototype.

I think Aragorn looks great in Justin's video.

 

[Hologram AI]

Both sculpted and rooted looks great to me. Different angle and lighting happening on the sculpted versions face/eyes.

 

[lordnastrond]

I think Aragorn looks great in Justin's video.

Completely agree, in Justin's video Aragorn looks just as incredible as he did at Pre-order.
Absolutely stunning figure.

Folks need to chill

My brain has been SO incredibly spoiled by the proto and pre-order pics. Probably the best 1/6 figure photos I've ever seen. It's really warped my perception. Anything that falls even a little short of that will - irrationally - seem like a step down. Even though it's still better than any figure I've ever seen.

I need to get my head right!

This is gonna be for a lot of folks and I already know some are going to be disappointed when production rolls around. Seeing this figure under normal out of box lighting and setup is gonna ruin so many peoples perception on it. I'm ready for the chaos.
