Asmus 1/6 Lord of the Rings - Faramir

[Kalkylen]

Great work on the costume details! That hairline though...I thought you guys said in an earlier post you were not going to use that split seam for this?

It’d be a shame to dwell and nitpick over the hair seam when everything else so really outstanding. It does stand out a lot here though and wasn’t part of the prototype design but hopefully it’ll be similar to Theoden where it’s not really noticeable in person. However, I think Theoden’s hair seem has the advantage of utilising the centre parting of his hair and keeping the seam lines more consistent with the actual directional flow or the hair in order to integrate it better- whereas here it’s just a straight horizontal cut.

The hair seam is the only real issue I am having with it. Maybe it won’t look to bad in person since this one is not removable like Theoden’s.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Yeah, that hair seam is another step backwards in their continuously improving figures.

The only way Theoden's hair seam is not noticeable is when wearing the helmet. That hair seam will keep me from ever displaying the figure without the helmet. (unless I customize the hair with faux/rooted hair at some point in the future.)

The rest of what can be seen of the figure looks pretty sharp.

fresh out of the factory!
ready to go in mid August~!!

the paint work has really improved so much!love it! I've got no problem with the hair line either. Doesn't both me at all.

 

[Asmus]

I have just looked up,
I think it is because the hair piece is not glued properly to the edge.

Once i apply glue right to the edge, it is much better.

 

[Asmus]

Under normal lighting (from Top) you can barely see the seam.

 

[Ombudsman]

That looks very, very good.

 

[BagginsOfBagEnd]

Thanks for the pics Asmus...I really like it, think it looks great!

Imagine:Boromir and Faramir in Gondorian armour.

 

[Life_m2000]

Looks great Asmus!
Looking forward to receiving him!

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

I think he looks pretty great!

Looking forward to Faramir, Captain of Gondor, getting a chance to prove his quality.

 

[FlyAndFight]

While I do understand the reasons behind that split mold at the hair-line, I'm not a big fan with how it ends up looking. But it definitely looks better than the wedge split found on Theoden.

 

[superdoug]

Thank you for the pictures! Really looking forward to this one. Although I seem to say that for every LOTR figure.

What happened to the white tree on his chest that was shown in the proto?

 

[FlyAndFight]

It will be there. The other pics were showing the issue with the unglued hair on a prototype.

 

[scumonkey]

Had to ask because it's not shown here

and this says FINAL Product
(no problem with the sculpt or the hair- looks amazing!)

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

Hey, you're right! Maybe the picture meant that the head was the final product, not the whole figure?

 

[DakRen]

I always assumed it was just the head because we already have solicitation pics for preorder.

 

[Stark Resilient]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say there's a 0 percent change this figure ships without the White tree detail.
