Asmus, are the boots one solid piece or are they two pieces? I am stuck looking on my phone so maybe I am missing the cut line because they look like one solid piece to me.

That is not Viggo.
Asmus posted 2 pictures that are much clearer. I still don't see Viggo but others think it's great so I'm glad that many are happy with it. You'll have to be the judge yourself.
Yeah, still not feeling it. This is HT’s Harrison Ford all over again; Viggo must be really hard to capture without making him look cross-eyed. I like that he’s less lumpy than their earlier attempts, but this is still off.
Prime 1 nailed it recently.
The full shot looks nice. When I shrink the close-up picture down to the actual size of the figure I see more likeness... so I imagine the head in hand will look more like Viggo than the extreme close-up does.
Again, for me, this one is all about that 2nd bloody head. Coupled with the intense expression, a battle-damaged head sounds awesome -- and it will be the deciding factor for me.
Other thoughts:
Molded boots are going to challenge any good action pose. Considering the determined expression demands some kind of aggressive posing, you'd think a soft-boot or articulated ankles would have been selected.
Is anyone else seeing a slightly smallish head off the full shot? I noticed this in the SS video as well but wrote it off to bad futzing. You have to get off your phone and view the picture all-in-one without scrolling to see it.
On the plus side, the chainmail and the jerkin look fantastic. That chainmail probably ate up a good portion of the production costs.

Asmus, I love your company. I love your product. Mostly, I LOVE that you listen to fans. Unfortunately, that sculpt looks like Dolph Lundgren in a wig.

Are these Faramir's vambraces ?? Aragorn/Boromir are brown leather and red fabric. The jerkin is fantastic, the chainmail looks ok, has to be seen in person I suppose. I'm not a huge fan of the boots. I think the likeness is good, with minor tweaks it could be excellent.
The more I look at the promo pics, the more I get excited to own Aragorn finally. I think it is the best sculpt of Aragorn so far. The comparison pic IMO shows how close the sculpt is to perfection. I love the expression and maybe the face could be a tad longer and jaw/chin narrowed but it is so close that I would be more than happy to get it as is.

No,
Faramir's braces are a little different.
Asmus, please show the bloody head. Please.... we won't tell.

Yep, liking this so far. Thanks Asmus for being so responsive to the collecting community.
I really like the outfit. I'm just not sure about the head. The top left and lower right pictures look the best to me.

Maybe the sculpted hair is (again) throwing off the likeness?
Is there going to be a haired version with this release did they say? If not, was there a reason they just went with sculpted?
Are they limiting the haired versions specifically to their Crown releases now?

Galadriel isn’t a crown release and she has tons of rooted hair.
