Re: Aragorn PF!!!
I still think he would benefit from a relatively minor repaint around the eyes, but the piece rocks well...

Re: Aragorn PF!!!
WrathofSauron asked how moveable the tendril of forehead hair is. Mine did not arrive broken, it moves rather easily and is flush to the forehead. But....it hangs over his eye. I can move it up higher but it won't stay that way until I figure out some way to hold it up. I really don't want to glue it.
Its really a minor problem but curious if anyone else has this situation.
Absolutely must have figure though -- best Aragorn yet.

I really wonder how much more this would have been if they sold the proto instead of the pre-production sample?! Wow!

Re: Aragorn PF!!!
speaking of that, it seems some of you are redoing bits. someone repainted the base and another redid the scabbard. anyone think of messing w/ the boots? i'm thinking of putting some flocking on them to give them a brushed leather look. maybe a bit of brown paint so they're not so green. tie some real string around them.

Re: Aragorn PF!!!
I may have to order it now since I lost out on the pre production auction. I was high bidder for 2 seconds though.

Re: Aragorn PF!!!
I would use paint before messing with flocking. You can fix paint but if you screw up the flocking or don't like it...a mess.

Re: Aragorn PF!!!
As I stated in an earlier post, my Aragorn Ex arrived with the strand of hair broken off and the strand nowhere to be found. I spoke to Cathy in CS (always super nice to deal with), she got my info and said that I would receive a return label, etc. I've never had to return anything before, so how long does it usually take to receive a replacement?

Re: Aragorn PF!!!
Best case scenario, 2-3 weeks, depending on where you live in relation to Sideshow. I'm an East-coaster, and the few times I've had to get a replacement it'd been about 3 weeks (keeps fingers crossed that Aragorn arrives tomorrow undamaged!).

Re: Aragorn PF!!!
Got mine the other day (exclusive). Luckily, it came in mint condition. I am happy with it. I was pretty upset originally when the production photos came out. But, in the end I actually like it alot.
I still prefer the prototype. But, I am still glad I decided to keep it. Nice job Sideshow.

Re: Aragorn PF!!!
It came out alot better then I thought it would, and the issue w/the eyes is not even noticeable when it's displayed. Only when you are UP CLOSE to it, do you notice the orange ring. It's not a big deal to me.
I'm happy with it. Lurtz is still King in the LotR p.f. collection. But, Aragorn is actually my favorite, as he is my favorite character.

Re: Aragorn PF!!!
Do they ever sell slighty damaged items for a discount? Something like that broken piece of hair could be easily fixed or dealt with. I wouldn't pay full price for something that was broken in anyway, but if you know it's slighty damaged and easily fixed, then it might be worth getting at a lower price. I know they have damaged box sales, but what about returned damaged items?

Re: Aragorn PF!!!
Just opened mine and it was a thrill, although I don't think the likeness is quite there, maybe if I look from really far away. He doesn't look all that much like viggo. The costume is fantastic with nice leather details. The exclusive extra hand is better than the open hand, but didn't blow me over. Overall, worth it, but that definitive sculpt of viggo remains elusive.

I'm glad you liked it. I've never had a problem with my Frodo PF and most people's pics were unflattering to say the least. Aragorn looks better in photos than Frodo did. In person he probably looks great.

Re: Aragorn PF!!!
To be honest the Frodo PF (along with Gandalf the White and Galadriel) kind of turned me off to this line, but I have experienced what you are describing with other pieces. Sometimes things look good in person and bad in photos. I might have to look into it.
