1/6 SCALE URUK HAI COMMANDER - SIBERIAN CUSTOM STUDIO

[Wor-Gar]

That Lurtz is killing me. I want it so bad... but $780 really pushes the outside limit of my devotion.

Not even InArt would charge that much.

I ordered it. Will make epic LotR display

That is true, but that is always the case with custom projects. Those can't produce as effective as the bigger studios...

 

[Wor-Gar]

I'm envious. Not sure I can swing it. Looks perfect though, was just going through his FB pics.

I would be jealous if it didn’t cost sooo much! I really hope it turns out exactly like proto and that you like it a lot. Keep us updated even if it takes awhile to release!

Actually, looking back at how much I shelled out this year for a DX15, it wasn’t far off from this... Very tempting.

That Lurtz looks pretty good but that price it is just too high for me.

I feel the same way. When I saw that Lurtz it was a dream come true then the nightmare of the price hit...

But seriously, a small custom shop will have to charge more for these products due to their limited resources.

 

[Wor-Gar]

That's why I was asking how many are they making. They likely don't know yet. But if it was, say, an edition size of only 15 or something, then the price reflects the rarity.

If they do 30 or 40 or more, then I'd think the price could be a bit less. But hey, they are well aware of pricing and what people will pay.

I also still feel that Lurtz is the kind of "villain" that InArt would do because of the excellent mixed media figure it would be. If InArt does continue with FOTR, and gives us a Gimli and a Frodo, then I would wager Lurtz might be the villain follow-up to the Nazgul.

 

[Chopper Face]

I would PO that Lurtz immediately if the sculpt worked for me. I just don’t think it captures the character at all.
Saw those pics on Facebook a few days ago and, despite the incredible craftsmanship of the armour and weapons, and the great hair job, I just can’t overlook the disappointing face at that price point.

For $300 (the NRD amount!) I’d have been in but, since I have the Weta Classic statue on order and there’s a reasonable likelihood of Asmus and InArt producing Lurtz someday, I think I can keep on waiting.

Also, it’s shipping direct from Russia, which means, despite the shipping being covered, I’d still get hit with a further 20%+ upon arrival. No ta.

The figure is on Kit´s web to preorder. Expensive though...

 

[Antarion]

I like the Lurtz fig very much.
For the 20%: At least he told me there would be no additional taxes...hope it is true. Well i will report how it goes

 

[FlyAndFight]

Perhaps a Mod can move the Lurtz conversation in the InArt Aragorn thread over to here?

 

[Bgnyc007]

Looks great but too pricey for me at the moment lol.

 

[Rotfish]

Mouth is off. Looks ugly and not in a good way.

 

[Chopper Face]

Ok, I checked back and found this recent response from Asmus regarding a Lurtz-

So, Asmus Lurtz is potentially due in the ‘next phase’ of releases, presumably after Thranduil has released.
He absolutely has to be a Crown release after all this time so I’m pinning my hopes on Asmus or InArt- although they are less likely- as opposed to shelling out for this very expensive custom with what I deem an unsatisfactory sculpt.

 

[Hologram AI]

Kind of insane that for the price, proper gripping hands aren't included. Looks bad seeing the figure hold anything in it's hand with the one pair of open palm hands included.

Really would consider getting it but the lack of hands is holding me back, especially at a whooping $800.

Contact Alex, buy from him directly is cheaper

I appreciate that, thank you, but I don't think it will be affordable for me.
