Asmus Toys : Aragorn thread

[The Ween]

I'll pass on this one if the sculpt is bad. Having one (SSC) is bad enough. I'm not going to have two.

^^^ This.

They have done a good job so far listening to the buyers though. I think then will get the head sculpt sorted out.

He seems to be a toguh one to sculpt though. My guess is the sculpt is improved but some people will still not be happy with it. If it is a step up from Sideshows and the price is around what Gandalf the White is I will be happy.

Either way I'm sure this will be the version we get. They can't afford to keep pushing this back trying to make a perfect sculpt.

That's what I'm thinking as well. A company this size doesn't have endless resources. Though, I really like how they interact with the community and work with the feedback given. It's something you get that a company like hot toys can't or chooses not to offer.

Have you guys seen this on asmus's facebook? It's just titled, "hair". I'm assuming it's Aragorn. Looks quite good though.

I may be mislead by the photo, but the hair looks not quite accurate. In the movie he has long a bit curly but relatively straight hair, and the sculpt looks as if he has a shorter haircut and his hair is mixed. Look here:

But may be it is just the way the light falls on the sculpt on this picture.

 

[hoodonit00]

I'm going to reserve judgement till we get a better pic. That they showed this much makes me think we'll be seeing pics soon.

 

[superdoug]

Based on the picture the only thing I can say with certainty is that the hair has more detail in it than the Sideshow version had. Other than that there is not much I can tell from that picture. With the angle of the camera and the sculpt, plus the lighting it is hard to get a good feel on the proportions.

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

From what little we can see it looks promising to me. The profile looks accurate at least.

Looking forward to seeing more ...

I can't wait to preorder this!

Also, if you look in the back, its blurry, but you can make out what looks like a female head sculpt and possibly a leg of amour?

I do believe that female head looks a lot like ARWEN

I do believe that cloak and leg armor looks alot like MOUTH OF SAURON.

That gold ribbon fascinates me. Galadriel?

 

[hoodonit00]

I thought the head sculpt was Eowyn. I just took for granted that the leg armor was the Witch King. I don.t know what the gold thing is either. From the right side kind of looks like Groot in plant form.

 

[elvis1976]

Just saw this on facebook.

Still doesn't looks that good :-(

There is def improvment but not enough.

Eowyn is so spot on.

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

Yikes. Yeah, it's better, but still a ways off. Everything below the eyes looks pretty great to me. Nose, cheeks, mouth and chin look spot on. The eyes and forehead are still not working for me, though.

That said, Viggo's face has thwarted many, many sculptors over the years.

 

[kl241]

That is terrible! WORSE than Gandalf! I definitely will NOT be collecting any of the human characters from this line! That is almost as bad as Sideshow's Aragorn!

 

[PunnyT]

Sadly I have to agree that this sculpt is off. Really enjoy your line so far but Aragorn needs some improvement. - Anyway I can just say that I LIKE the sculpt of Gandalf a lot, don't know why some people complain about it. Also your Eowyn sculpt looks really great! - So I am sure you can manage to fix it. Wish I would be capeable of telling you what to change, but for me is tough to say...

Thanks for communicating with the community. It is a improvement, and a good work in progress. Keep up the good work!

By the way, If we could get a arwen to go with aragorn it'd be epic!

Here is another 2 angles. Please let us know more!
