NEW PRODUCT: InArt Aragorn Standard and Deluxe Version 1/6

I asked Justin on the comments section and he said he did no restyling whatsoever to the hair. I get that he wants to review it out of the box, that's his thing, but it would still be useful to show a view of it at the end of the video with styled hair to show the figures *potential*. Just my opinion. I don't have a problem with his videos normally, it was just this instance that I was somewhat baffled.

ETA: My confusion stems from the fact that I don't think there is much point in even owning a figure with real rooted hair if one is unwilling to ever style it. Might as well stick with the plastic hair then, surely?

A couple members over at the Freaks got this guy in.

Looks absolutely excellent to me.

Aaaaagh! Gorgeous!

With the right hairstyle it looks fantastic!

Just genius!!!

I'm still waiting for the invoice. Really looking forward to this one. More with every new picture. ^^

Me too. I finally dared to go back and double-check, and am relieved that I ordered the Premium Version (with the rooted hair), no cheaping out on this one.

Here’s another from Agentbutterman at the Freaks:

WOW. That one is incredible. They all have been but this one stands out. Epic.

Thanks for sharing all of these, Stryker. I sadly don't have time to look up in-hand pics like I would normally, so it's much appreciated.

For anyone who ordered the Standard edition, this was posted by vspectra at the Freaks:

Standard looks great too. Hmm, I'm almost second guessing myself.

I'm firmly in the rooted-hair camp. I think the sculpted hair detracts from the otherwise exceptional quality of the figure.

The sculpted hair is some of the nicer I've seen, but it still isn't that convincing... it's a little too dark and matte, and well... sculpted, lol.

When styled right, the rooted hair is incredible.

Every time I look, I'm thinking Holy Cow that looks so good!

same here and I cry thinking I should have PO'd this when I had the chance. It is the best movie figure I have seen - although all of InArt are pure museum perfection.

Received and paid my invoice for the Premium edition.

congrats for being in the first wave mark!

Can't wait for this

I know right. Once I saw people who ordered from Kit were getting invoices, I started checking my email frequently. I received one, and was excited to open it, only for it to be for something else (nothing too big, about $80 USD). Felt so let down. Kept checking the emails until I just went to bed. Woke up, checked again, and there it was! Now I’m waiting for the shipping email.

Check your order number. Apparently, according to Kit, he received a certain amount up to order #955XXX.
