Asmus Toys : Aragorn thread

Aragorn looks good.
Horse "facesculpt" looks good, but neck connections are terrible, you really have to cover them.

Aragorn looks really good there in that second shot. Seeing a lot of Viggo and it doesn't have that slight derpy look that ACI's has in a lot of photos.

This is best from an angle. Straight on it's not great for me. From the 1/3 angle it really hit the mark IMO.

Any speculation on what that is to the left of the horse's head? Looks like something new?

Good eye ... tough to tell, though ...

It almost has the color scheme of King Aragorn's armor ... but whatever it is I think it's pretty large. It dwarfs that figure stand below it. Could it be the King Aragorn or Theoden saddle? Maybe? I know we haven't had any confirmation that they're working on either of those figures, but those are my best guesses.

I feel if the horses of the three hunters are being realised, Arod or previously Strider's horse was Brego, and Hasufel for Legolas and Gimli. -Hasufel will have to be specially accustomed to accomodate both Legolas and Gimli as they ride together as one on Hasufel. And will be see a Shadowfax for Gandalf the white?
-It would be a very good two towers scene riding to Edoras!

Way back when they first revealed they were doing horses I said I would prefer a static posed horse. Too much articulation behind the head.

Yes, totally agree.

Hasufel was Eomers gift to Aragorn after Theodred is dead, Aragorn soon dumps Hasufel for Brego (both brown in the movies)
Legolas and gimli ride Arod (white horse, not to be confused with Gandalfs horse Shadowfax)
Sorry just wanted to avoid horse-based confusion.

Exactly (except Hasufel was not Theodred horse)
Hasufel, Arod, Shadowfax:

I like this picture. Most of the horses neck articulation will not be showing from one side once the mane is nicely groomed over it.

New picture of Aragorn posted on FB today...looking good!

 

[hoodonit00]

Yea I commented on FB about it. I can really see Aragorn in that pic. Hope the release looks this good.

From the neck down the figure looks great. Brego is really cool.

You can't see Viggo in that I sculpt?

 

[pixletwin]

Yeah I can see Viggo. I think there is just something malproportioned and slightly "in the rough" about it.

 

[Travis Baumann]

I think from the brow down he looks ok but the forehead/hair still really bug me. I am on the fence on this one, may get him but not until after I have Tauriel and especially Saruman in my hands.

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

Good looking shot. I see Brego's been to the salon. Nice mane styling!

The coat looks like it's got poseable wire inside. I wonder if it's just the prototype, or if they're going to work that into the finished figure?

 

[DiFabio]

Looks like Toybiz and not like a collectible item... The horse has too much articulations, it ruins all.

The Toy Biz ones looked better than this. They had the nicely covered, one piece head without any seams and it STILL had three articulation points for natural movement.

That rubber has still held up too.

 

[The Ween]

I still wish they hadn't made the horses articulated. No need for it really.

More pics up on FB of Aragorn and Brego. I swear the head sculpt looks different then the one that supposed to be "official". To me though it actually looks more like Viggo. Seems a little more drawn. Anyone else think it is different?
