ACI Toys: 1/6 ARAGORN (Improved Production Copy updated!)

[YoNoSe]

At least yours has a part down the middle. Mine is off to the right.

Bah, Middle Earth is short on mirrors. And I don't think the dude has a comb in his quiver.

I got my exclusive version from BBTS again! This guy looks so much better in hand than in photos.

Mine actually has hair that looks styled? It is nicely matted down and gelled up. I may leave it be for now.

I just got mine. Wonderful figure. I used some pomade to grease the hair down and I am very happy with it. One thing that I really like (and am sure is just a side-effect of the body) is that the head is placed on a cylinder rather than a traditional ball-joint. This means that the head slides off very easily (you don't have to yank on it) but it also means that you can raise and lower the head on the cylinder to adjust neck height. The bulkiness of the clothes and length of the hair very easily hides the gap, meaning that this Aragorn can get a ton of personality from his neck joint. It really is hard to describe but it is really fun to futz around with.

The only thing that I don't like is the stand, which is easy enough to replace. The figure all put together really is a beauty.

Cruddy phone pic. Still need to fix quiver strap.:

Mine arrived a day early, hooray for Fed Ex! Second time in a week they've gotten a shipment to me early. Anyway, the hair on mine also had some product, but I started messing with it anyway as it was still frizzy. I'm not done with it yet, but so very, very happy with this. Now to pick up the Ringwraith!

Nice pics!

These in-hand photos look fantastic. Thanks for posting. This will surely be a strong contender for 1/6 figure of the year!

Good news from BBTS; my Aragorn SE finally processed. I was becoming increasingly pessimistic that I was gonna miss out despite covering my bases. Those who cautioned against early paranoia were right. Good luck to everyone still waiting - know that these are still making their way to retailers.

Really loving this figure. I really, really need to get the Ringwraith.

Love that shot! I didn't get much time to futz with mine yet, but I love it. The fabric weight and how it all sits is absolutely unbelievable! My only issue is getting those belt straps through haha.

Oh, yeah....the quiver was unreal. May pick up some boots down the road. Anyone know what kind of ankle joint ACI uses? Is it like an actual foot in there, or a ball joint like Hot Toys Luke Bespin?

Amazingly realistic looking shot! Looks just like Viggo standing in Fangorn.

They must not have minded paying that $100 convenience fee.

Sounds like a lot but I shudder to think what this'll be off e.Bay in six months or a year.

Well I finally got around to futzing a little bit. Man that quiver belt was a pain to thread through the buckle! I did a pass get putting hair gel in, and I love the result. It will make me hold off on cutting any of the hair for now. This may be one of my favorite figures of all time. I had issues with the price in the beginning, but now that I am seeing all the insane detail and material choices here I have change my mind. It is stunning.
