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

[hoodonit00]

If they ever do a sculpted hair Aragorn like this, I’m in. Not because I care about the added expense for rooting the hair, I just prefer sculpted to rooted to begin with.

Same artist is doing a sculpted version.

It’s available or still in production?

Sam. Aragorn soon!

Good gosh and golly, I can just hear him saying ‘I made a promise, Mr Fodo. A promise!’

Man I wish I could get those. To have the ultimate version of Aragon and Frodo would be the ultimate grail pieces for me. Sam would come right behind them but I would probably sell off my entire Hot Toys collection (isn’t a lot of figures now) if it got me the Aragorn and Frodo.

I feel the same way about the Aragorn sculpt. A grail character that no head sculpt released so far has managed to capture well. I may go all in with the Aragorn sculpt if I can find a good painter that won't take years to complete it.

Only reason I haven't ordered these sculpts yet is they're made for rooted hair. Knowing there's a sculpted hair version coming, I'll wait for these.

Amazing. I'll need at least "3" of these...

My only nit to pick and it's a tiny one, is that his lower lip gives the impression that he's got a dip or chew tobacco behind his lower lip.

 

[DakRen]

Something is still off on that headsculpt, think the bridge of nose is too wide. My favorite is the custom Sam so far.

 

[Gipetto0812]

Yup, lower lip/jaw looks to be pushed too far forward. But paintwork and hairwork is fantastic. I still really like the ACI sculpt the best, and I think that one was done by Dean as well if I remember correctly

FB member SHand has the best Aragorn sculpt. He works or worked with Asmus somehow. Shame it was never used. The original Asmus sculpt is also pretty damned good if the hair is reworked and the sculpt repainted.

Do you have any SHand's original sculpt pics?

Sorry still figuring out how to post images with new format. The bigger image reminds me so much of when Frodo tried to give Aragorn the ring. That quiet, caring look that Aragorn has

I don't know if you ever saw it but check out NighT47s customized original sculpt Aragorn in the LOTRs custom section. Fantastic.

Now I remember these as prototypes of the first version.
Yes, they look decent.

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

I really liked Asmus' original Aragorn sculpt. The problem was always the terrible hair sculpt. Face was pretty great.

Excited to get 2 Asmus figures in today.
1 direst from Asmus themselves and this guy from a local distributor.
Alas,straight of the box,Aragorns left shoulder was already loose or popped out.
Can definitely feel a peg at the end of the shoulder,and on trying to place it back in,it just won't.
I havent done anything other than record a video of how limp the arm at the shoulder is.
Awesome figure otherwise.
I've contacted the distributor to see if I can get a replacement as I'd like to keep it for the collection.
Anyone else have an issue for shoulder pops on their figures??
Don't really want to undress him either just to get to that shoulder...

The clothing is actually very easy to take off, it’s worth doing it to see the articulation anyway. As I recall the shoulder is just a ball joint into a socket.

 

[Gruff Old Bear]

I had the same thing with Crown Gandalf. It is, as spaceghost2000 says, a ball socket. Easy to pop back in.

 

[ObiGlennKenobi]

Thanks for the tips guys.
Got him back from the distributor and have since put him on evilbay with Galadrial.
They don't fit the collection unfortunately,as awesome as they are.
Will probs take a hit for them,but all good.
