Asmus Toys : Aragorn thread

Aragorn doesn't wear that gear after Lorien.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Exactly. He is trimmed down in gear after they leave Lothlorien, exactly as this new figure is kitted out.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I'm surprised the quiver, bow & arrows & sleeping mat aren't included?

You want everything but the crap, right?


They had to leave some good stuff for those early adopters who paid much more.

 

[SithThundercracker]

Took a chance on the head. I'll just replace my ACI head but I may track down a full set someday...I can live with two Aragorns (3 including SSC). Good job Asmus, anyway.

 

[Platty]

Pre ordered!

That makes him and Legolas. 2 grails for me. Cheers asmus

He keeps the gear, but stores it in the boat. He fights without his quiver at Amon Hen.

He takes up the quiver again at the end though. He carries it in Two Towers too - his definition of "travel light" seems to be "dump the bed roll". Fair enough, who needs it when you're chasing a pack of Uruk Hai?

I might have mentioned it before,
we had to let go the bow/arrow set in order to keep the price down for the expensive root hair.

Surprisingly, arrows charges more than it actually means,
each arrow takes 4~5 steps to paint, and each set includes 6 arrows.

That also speaks for Legoas, we unawarely included 10 arrows in a set, and .... oh well.

You are absolutely right. I thought he no longer carried the quiver/bow with him once they go to "hunt some orcs", but I checked and he is indeed carrying them when they first meet Gandalf the White in Fangorn Forest.

Will slim down version be available to preorder through BBTS ?

Ten arrows! Sweet! That quiver will be packed!

And through other retailers? Dying to know this.

Aragorn Slim is now up for sale for $174 on BBTS. It makes me feel kinda dumb ordering him direct from Asmus.

Why is BBTS able to price Aragorn so much lower than Asmus itself? =\

Asmus has free shipping as well, so really with the cheapest shipping BBTS is about $180, which isn't that what Asmus had him priced at? Or was he $189?

 

[MaxGoof]

He's $189.50 on Asmus.

 

[TheWordWizard]

He's $189.50 on Asmus.

Ah, so not too far off then, once you take shipping into account.

 

[Asmus]

Well.
I am not sure if BBTS ship to world wide for the same rate,
but our service is free shipping to worldwide for free.

Also, I think BBTS is lowering the price deliberately, I cannot be certain of the intention,
but I am sure we offer to ALL our dealers based on the retail price of $189.95 for sure.

Will the new Aragorn head be offered anywhere else, or just exclusive to Asmus' site?

I need to get one.

I think they mentioned on FB that the head is exclusive to the Asmus site. It's my first order directly from Asmus so I'm interested to see how it goes.

 

[s6001]

Waiting on my retailer to put Aragorn up. Really glad this one has the rooted hair.

Asmus website states that it's exclusive to their site. Also, that due to the labor involved, only "500" of the Aragorn heads and "800" new Aragorn figures will be released. So get it while you can.
