ASMUS TOYS : Aragorn @ The Battle of Helm's Deep

Lutz even? ��

I thought asmus said an Uruk was in the near future six or so months ago?

Lurtz (or Lutz as he may now be called) is for 2021 so said Asmus. 2021, the year of the Uruk-Hai.

So the age of men is over!

I mean, who wouldn't want a "Lutz" action figure?

yes, but the all body of Uruk Hai will need to be sculpted, cut into structure, and re sculpted, so it is a slow process,
we just got through Gollum, so hopefully Uruk Hai will be faster

Would be great to see some teaser progress photos of Gollum!

Yes!!!!!!!

So excited that Urks are still in the works and that Gollum is too. I cannot believe how deep Asmus is going with this line!

I had to cancel my orders for the Deluxe version and the Galadrial as well today.
Too close to Xmas AND trying to sell some Hot toys to make getting these easier,but it's that time of year.
Aragorn looks so good!!

Hmm I'm a bit underwhelmed.

Same. Aragorn is my favourite character in the books and movies and that is my favourite costume of his yet I still haven't bothered to order this [emoji28].

I really like the new hands, vest, shirt and chainmail.

There a few minor tweaks they could have done to make this a home run!

- Added a screen accurate scabbard (this one is just too boxy) and sword belt strap system. They should have been in the same plastic as the main belt so they hold the scabbard in place and have the little gold strap details. As it stands, those faux leather ones as useless to hold the weight of the sword.

- New boots! These do have a split at the ankle but the sculpt is naff and are just too skinny. They are supposed to be heavy at the top as they are essentially thigh high waders which he has rolled down.

- Correct Elven dagger. As someone pointed out a while ago, the original one that came with the previous Aragorn was the incorrect shape so a upgrade would have been great for this where it is more noticeable on his outfit.

Again, a few minor things but as Aragorn's outfits are so simple that if something is off, it's really noticeable as detracts from the overall look and I think that's why I wish it had turned out a bit better. Glad for all those that dig this version though! It's definitely a step in the right direction but hopefully by the eventual Crown Version, we will get the correct parts!

This picture shows how good the belt is but look at the chain mail under his arm - that doesn't fill me with confidence.



The dagger looks wrong.
The scabbard looks wrong.
The front peak of his hair looks off.

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

I thought they re-did the dagger? Am I remembering that wrong?

As for the chain mail, I assume it's fabric (like Elrond) so if you get any straggler threads, they should be simple to nip off.

I'm not blown away by the likeness, but he looks solid enough to me. Really like that pop of red on the sleeves. And the bloody hands are a nice touch.

 

[DioramaMaker]

The peak in the hair is my biggest gripe. A little putty and paint will fix that.

I can tell the likeness is REALLY going to shine in some angle. It's not perfect in all, but it's got a good amount of Viggo in it.

 

[hoodonit00]

Well everyone else is weighing in. I think it looks pretty good over all with some nitpicks. Start from the head down. The molded hair looks great this time except for the area that's supposed to look like it's growing out of his head. It just doesn't look natural. I know what you're looking to accomplish but it doesn't work. The sculpt itself. I've been a critic from the start. It's not that it's bad, I just wanted Asmus to nail it. The likeness is close but doesn't scream Aragorn. I got the deluxe edition and like the cut sculpt a little more than the standard edition. I wish they both would have been that one. The outfit and chain mail look great. Not crazy about the belt. Manufacturers are trying to make things out of plastic or rubber now that should be made out of fabric. 3 Zero has been doing it and now Asmus. Lastly the boots. They look ok but I don't understand why you just didn't stick with the fabric boots the first Aragorn had. They were great and most collectors loved them. I'm looking forward to getting him but oh how I wish the head sculpt would have been perfect.
