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

[Bo Shrek]

Difficult to watch review. Hand kept moving made it difficult for camera and our eyes to focus on what he was holding. Is he new?

Do with this info what you will.

I personally try and give everyone the benefit of the doubt and assume no malice. I can easily see someone excited but rushed not giving a figure its due diligence.

^ That still looks bad. I don't get it, the hair is actually almost perfect when boxed up in that plastic tube, just stop over doing the styling and let it sit how it is as it arrived.

There's literally numerous other photos and videos where he looks fine. Why do these dummies start freaking out when 1 video looks bad?

Hair moves around, you can make hair look bad. I guess for someone without hair they're not really used to styling it.

I watched that review last night and cringed so much that I skipped ahead to the end.
Some of these "Youtube influencers" are so high on a pedestal.

Thankgod for the Freaks boards!
The freaks will futz him right and...then...we...shall....have....peace.

I know that it is due to the PERS feature but I feel that the eyes are the only slight ding on this figure.

I think Asmus captured that particular feature a little more accurate with the new sculpt.

Go ahead a squeal away...

PERS is completely unnecessary...

I just don’t get people who get into this hobby and never learn how to futz and pose properly. I think it’s the most fun aspect of the whole thing: laying fabric so it looks sleek and flat, fixing hair so it has movement and life even when still, poses and gestures to make it dynamic.

Otherwise just get statues, all the same quality with 0 effort

I agree. In most of the pics his right eye always appears shaped oddly to me plus the fact it’s obvious the PERS is still not aligning properly. Maybe once someone makes theirs SRE instead and snaps some pics that’ll fix it.

Even with the PERS the eyes look real in many shots of the InArt, more real than any production figure I've seen, so personally I'm fine with how they've handled it lol

 

[Wor-Gar]

Those crooked eyes will work perfectly for Gimli!!!

 

[Gipetto0812]

Man, I didn't even notice the eyes were off until it was pointed out

 

[Bleah]

They're getting ready for Gandalf the White.

The guy added a link to an updated pic in the youtube comments, as he's aware lots disliked his beard styling lol.

You don't have to apologize to anybody. It's your figure. You have a right to display it as you wish. If you want to shave Gandalf's beard and make him some ponytails that's ok also.

 

[GaryPool]

He probably dry brushed the beard.

But I've cancelled mine now because I'm so offended by that picture!

EDIT: Just purchased Asmus' version. Much less puffy.

While I understand both sides I'm the same here, I love futzing, for example Damtoys AC figuires look horrible anywhere I see them but I spent hours on each figure to pose the hood right and they look amazing! But again, I love to futz with my figures to make them look perfect in my eyes!

About the PERS, I for one think it elevates the figure even more, because all those dynamic shots you see are brought to life when you move the eyes in the correct direction. I love it!

Does anyone know if this figure is still available to purchase other than the secondary market?

Your best bet is to hope Kit has some left over when he starts invoicing people and some cancel due to lack of funds.
