Yeah this is amazing. I opened mine quickly just to check it from delivery and I'm very impressed. No futzing minus some erroneous strands, straight from tube.

Did you have to futz with the hair?

Those were more or less out of the box photos actually, just pulled some bangs forward to frame the face closer to the proto.

With all the product in the hair, there was some extra volume clumped up around the front sides of the face which obscured the portrait a bit more than I wanted on the shelf. Had time today to spritz some water on and move some of those strands back on the sides for a more natural fall.

I will never understand why I got such *&^% hair out of the box:mad:; everyone else seems to have gotten great hair.
Maybe I was cursed because this isn't my fav ME character.

Mine didn’t look great out of the box. I sprayed the hair with a water bottle and used some fine tipped tweezers to futz the hair to get it looking good. It makes a big difference to wet the hair and spread it out more naturally. I actually ended up doing it twice.

Granted, the photo on the right is a better closeup with warmer lighting. The one on the left is zoomed in from a shot where he’s paired with Gandalf. But hopefully it serves to illustrate that the straight-out-of-the-box hair was comparatively stiff and unnatural looking.

Did you touch up the eyebrows...?
 
This is SUCH an fun and expressive figure to pose. Just a subtle tilt of the neck and head, and a tiny tweak to make sure one shoulder is ever so slightly higher than the other ... you can give him that wily, "Jim-Morrison-rockstar" body language that Viggo inhabited throughout the films. Throw in a little slightly suspicious side-eye and this thing comes to LIFE.

For me, it's just nice to finally look at these pictures as pose inspiration. For a long time there, it looked like I was stuck on the outside looking in! I definitely need to get my Legolas order squared away here so that I'm not chancing it again...
 
I prefer the strider look for Aragorn but I think the figure looks the best without his duster actually, the Amon Hen look.

Wonder how the Asmus duster would look? Inarts looks thick making him have superhero shoulders.
 
I know we have seen a few customizers offering a new duster, belt and Anduril, but I wonder if someone will soon offer a red shirt to have a Two Towers look.
 
Also what does on do with the strings near the shirt cuff to achieve this? Just tuck them back into the sleeve?

I've tried and tried. The likeness on this thing is just way off to my eyes. It's not a matter of hair futzing either. It's the sculpt. It looks so very, very odd looking to me. Idk. I can't stop looking at it with a dumbfounded look on my face lol.

Maybe it's me. It's gotta be me. But it's one of the strangest looking sculpts I've ever seen.

That's how I feel also. The likeness is there especially when I'm looking at it in-hand. BUT there is something that throws it off and whatever that is, it's hard to pinpoint.
