Asmus Toys : Aragorn thread

[rhboyd]

Wonder if you guys getting it preordered early? I was on the fence for a while before jumping in.

i ordered just the head the day it was announced.

Hrm. Mine was a full figure, albeit a bit later.

I did too though I haven't received any notification as to whether it's been shipped yet.

Here are a couple of pictures. I am guessing people would want more pic of the head sculpt?

 

[sixxshooter]

More pics please !!

I would hardly call that hair hand styled but it can be futzed. At least the sculpt looks better than the first pic that was shown. Thanks for the pics. More please when you get a chance.

here is some more close up, its not bad but seems like a bit of work to curl his hair some more

I think it can be worked with. I was more concerned with the paint app than the hair after that first picture surfaced.

Receive this Aragorn Slim Version from the mail today, havent played around with the hair yet, i can say that I'am satisfied with this figure [emoji106]

I'm interested to see these new heads once the hair has been futzed with and the chin paint has been corrected.

Is that the same head from the original release?

 

[thecapn]

Is that the same head from the original release?

Yup, just with the rooted hair.

Thanks so much for the pics, everyone! I'm liking what I'm seeing so far - can't wait to see it after a futz and a chin touch up.

I also got my shipping notice! Anyone have any idea how long it'll take to get to the states?

The paint is not as good but the sculpt looks the same to me.

Unfortunately I don't like the paint

 

[DarkAllen]

anyone know how to properly set up the belt? my sword keeps pointing side ways...

 

[superdoug]

Did they not include the belt & scabbard instructions with the slim?

My Aragorn arrived! Quality isn't as good as Hot Toy's standard but still decent. One of my straps on the belt to the sword scabbard was detached so I'll have to get a fabric glue to attach it back in the future. The leather outfit is really thin and one of the wire thingy on that outfit has already pierced through it and I haven't even started posing it. I pulled it back down so it's hidden but I won't be doing any dynamic poses that's for sure! It seems like they put some type of product to style the hair but the problem is they shipped it with those plastic covers so it kinda defeat the purpose lul! I had to restyle the hair myself. The head sculpt I think is pretty accurate. I also like the feel of the weapons.. seems high quality! Overall it's pretty good for my first Asmus figure. I'm happy ^^!! Waiting for my Legolas figure to arrive ^^!! Here are some pictures I took.

 

[hoodonit00]

Hmm, I really can't tell if that's the same sculpt or not?

 

[rjszar]

Why do they think it's okay to leave whiskers unpainted? 10 seconds of dry brushing would have taken care of that.

 

[thecapn]

Yeah, I'm not loving that paint on the beard. Fortunately, it's a quick fix. Can't wait to see it once the hair has been futzed!
