Asmus Toys : Aragorn thread

Alatar, you will not obtain this look only washing the hair... you have to mod the ugly hairline, but it's very easy to do...
literally anyone can do this
1) detach the head from the body

FRONT

2) separate "face mask" from the rear part of the head... it's very simple, just gently pull it out and it will detach... it's very poor glued from the rear part...
3) take a cutter and work inside the front to gently remove little by little about a mm of silicone, so the head front, when re-attacched, will sit more flush. Working inside you don't damage the skin texture or the paint. You only have to be "patient" and remove the excess little by little, to avoid risk of damage. After that you can proceed on back part of the head.

BACK

4) Just under the front hairline you will see a black rubber portion without the hair... Cut away that as near as possible to the glued hair without remove them...
5)wash the hair with warm water and some soap...
6)glue back the face mask on the head...
done.

Obiously the final result it's not as good as a perfect implant, but it's very easy to do and exeryone can achieve a better result with minimal effort...
hope that helps...

I thought I have seen decent results just by re-styling the hair, but the hairline looks much better this way. Do you happen to have any photos you took during the process?

I didn't take pictures of the process.. But I'm planning today to re-open it to make some adjustment... I will take pictures of the process hoping that helps...

Thanks again, @ghilbertit! On my figure the hairline itself looks okay. I might be able to get away with just washing it.

ok, here are the pictures...
please forgive some "rebuilt" images, but i already have done the mod and i don't have originally taken any pictures of the process...
today i have disassembled the head again to do some improvements and here are the pictures to explain the process...

first remove the head from the body

the pull out the face (with your finger) and separate the front mask to the back

now ake the face, and work inside that with a cutter to remove excess silicone fron the front

now take the back of the head and remove al the black rubber you can under the hair without damage the implant (i have painted in black the missing part removed yesterday to show what you have to remove)

you have to obtain something similar to this

At this point proceed as you prefer... i suggest you to paint a little dark brown line around upper frotn edge, and to wash a little the hairs to remove some glue...
now riassemble the head gluing the parts togheter

Wow thank you so much the photos were very much appreciated!!! You made the figure look so much better and I can't wait to do something similar to mine. Kudos!

This is so super-helpful... Thank you!!

Just one question about "washing" the hair... Can you just get it completely wet and almost just dip the whole head (without the face) in warm soapy water without any hair becoming unglued, and is it then quite easy to re-style again?

Mine has so much gunk in the hair it's almost a rock-solid helmet!!

Does anyone know of someone in the states that will rehair? I don’t want to send the head out of the country if I can avoid it.

Shane Poole aka OneSixthSalon is in the states, but I think he's booked until 2022

Hey people,

I have an Asmus Aragorn (NON-slim) with a second headsculpt with rooted hair. The problem is, I don't have the peg to connect the rooted hair headsculpt to the neck. I can provide pictures if necessary, but does anyone know which is the correct neck connector I need for this?
Many thanks!
