Re: Aragorn PF!!!
The fading/colouring of the cloaks changes in just about every scene in the movie. They are meant to go between grey and green. In fact, the colours were purposely changed in post production (watch the behind the scenes footage). Just look at Merry and Pips cloaks as they hide from the Uruks at Amen Hen.
The problem is that they took away the sculpt which is what made the PF aragorn. Strider had a passive look to him - thats what made him strider. This new look may be intense, which seems right in a battle situation, but it isnt right for the way Vigo played him.

Exactly, Aragron in battle always seemed calm and relaxed and SS has already depicted that in their dio. They didn't give him an intense expression, they just left it alone which is what they should have done for this.

That's not completely true. I can remember several scenes where he is fighting and yelling and having an "agressive" look on his face.
Let's just be happy they didn't use this caption as reference material to sculpt the face:

I'm still liking the way he looks, can't wait to get him. Even though my waitlist converted late I'm hoping that I'll be part of the first shipment, since so many people seem to be canceling.

Re: Aragorn PF!!!
I'm not cancelling. And despite my ealier shock, I'm not saying this isn't a fantastic PF. I just wish it had the face of the prototype. I just have to accept what we've got now and appreciate it for the piece that it is.
Again, I'm calmer now. I woke up wearing these shredded purple pants but I'm ok now.

Remember on a certain dio. People crying out for Aragorn’s lack of expression. Now that he has, people still complaining …

I agree with you but every time he was hacking at bad guys he was not always blood hungry and anygry.

Re: Aragorn PF!!!
Aragorn had incredibly intense/borderline angry expressions at various times during his first fight with the Ringwraiths, against the Cave Troll, against the Wargs, at Helm's Deep, and of course when leading the Army of the Dead. He might have been more desperate and resigned at Amon Hen but the expression isn't out of character in general.
For all who don't like that his expression isn't scene accurate does that mean you won't be displaying him with the knife? Because I think it would be strange to be okay with one and not the other.

I think this is a true statement except that some don't want to wait when it comes to money.
Aragorn is my favorite character. I would love to own this piece. But, now I'm torn as it's not what it was before.

I still say this piece looks good. It's not the same as it was but it is not hideous.
