Maybe my eyes are fooling me. Looks like Gandalf's head is a wee bit larger than Aragorn's in every pic (disregarding the beard of course). If you line up the eyes and lips.
Not a big deal, I have both as well and its not something I see regularly. But there was a conversation about it in the Legolas thread yesterday so I'm primed to see it now.
It shall pass...

Futzing. The cloak riding up makes him look like he has no neck and his shoulders look wide there, making his head look small next to Gandalf, who just has his inner robe on. Head sizes look to be fine between these two.
If anything, Gandalf's face will come across smaller more often than not since his face is surrounded by such a large volume of hair. Aragorn's face is also usually shaped by the way the hair is styled.
Gandalf's head looks larger in your pics, too.

I see where you getting at but doesnt Gandalf should have a slightly bigger head and nose? At least to my knowledge he does, i could be wrong though. One more edited picture, love this one
People do have longer or shorter faces so I'll take it as that. I don't want to poison others with this nonsense, especially when they look so good together.
Imagine Legolas there too.

I think you mean longer face, rather than his head being larger. Proportionally, both head sizes look good with their body but Gandalf definitely has a longer face when compared. Which I guess comes down to Ian vs Viggo's facial structure but too lazy to do all that.
And you're not poisoning anything. Nothing wrong with dissecting these figures apart.

That picture demonstrates best what I was seeing... slightly oversized head or long face, either way.

Always compare to the source.
Sir Ian’s face does look a bit longer.

Nicely done 
And I will accept this... but...
But if you lower Aragorn a bit, their features do line up...
Here's the other photos from Grimm and Holo...
Damn my eyes!!!

Does anybody else absolutely HATE the magnet wrist joints that InArt do? On my Heath Ledger Joker figure it was hard to move him around while he was holding his machine gun because the weight of the gun would make his hand fall off if touched slightly, and with Aragorn I tried to have him hold his sword with both hands like he always does in the movies but it was almost impossible to bend his arms inward and hold the sword without a hand coming away from the wrist. Wish they would just make Normal wrist pegs.
Aragorn sees the slight strand of hair over Gandalf's face and says: He's trying to copy me.

I ignore them e.g. just jam the hands in. I don't think the magnets are strong enough, and are too small and deeply set to be useful. In any case picked up some ASMUS Aragorn hands and jammed those on, because I wanted Aragorn to be able to hold a mug. No, they are not painted as nicely as InArt's. I don't care, I like to make scenes with my figs and InArt's hands are too stiff. Also picked up some extra long wrist pegs just in case.
The only other option IMO would be to replace the original magnet with stronger ones.
I'm not brave enough to undress/disassemble my Aragorn or Gandalf, but I wonder if the IA bodies have the same elbow/forearm configuration so that the whole forearm could be popped out at the elbow and replaced with a standard True-Type forearm with a standard, non-magnetic wrist peg hole. (My Gandalf's right wrist connection is crap and barely holds the hand in place.)

I think that is possible. However if going to the trouble of a strip down anyway, may as well just replace the whole body.
