Asmus Toys : Aragorn thread

[Wor-Gar]

So I guess the toothy head is the new replacement for the 2nd "screaming" head? Not sure I ever remember Aragorn smiling... not even when he was made King.

Enjoy your hoard of Stormtroopers! 3 or 4 more up for pre-order today? Yikes!

Hmm, besides the eyes, which look a little bit cross eyed, I think it's decent. Not great, but decent. I also think it will look better in hand. That is my optimistic point of the day.

He looks like Andrew Lincoln to me.

 

[drjedisith]

Nah. No stormies for me. Just the main crew.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Asmus has faired better with its villains...

 

[drjedisith]

Agreed wor gar. I just cant get into all these lines. So if it doesnt blow me away im out.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yeah, this Strider Aragorn was always a wait-and-see figure for me only because I still have the Sideshow one and, even though it hardly holds up to today, it may not need a full replacement at this point. I might simply wait for the Asmus Elessar figure.

It seems that Asmus has made great strides in improving their sculpts with their new factory based on Saruman and Gandalf; perhaps Aragorn is the last of the older sculpts.

Or perhaps this is simply an older "show figure" that is making the Convention circuit.

I have my ss aragorn painted by customikey. And he looks awesome. Plus borimir and faramir. Nothing yet can beat that set up

 

[drjedisith]

Yeah it seems some sculpts are way better for sure

 

[Wor-Gar]

Still hoping it looks closer to this...

 

[Buttmunch]

Trying to remain positive, but these new show pics are starting to worry me. Aragorn seems to be getting worse in the headsculpt department rather than better. Gandalf too to an extent. The rooted hair needs to go away on him, its just not working with his hair type and style. I trust these are still prototypes and things will get corrected, but the ape head on Aragorn is very troubling. Way too much head above the eyes. From the eyes down, the sculpt looks decent. They could really just cut a layer out of the forehead and drop things down a bit and it would probably look a lot better.

The clothing and weathering all looks great, so that is something to be thankful for at least.

 

[svander]

Just awful honestly.

 

[cmiller99]

Viggo must be a nightmare to sculpt. Certain different angles of his face make him look very different. I wish someone could nail his likeness.

 

[jankatana]

I agree with Buttmunch, from the eyes down is great, above that the head reaches for the skies.
Asmus can the hair be removed so we can sand down the skull? Thanks

Asmus can we get some good quality photos of both of Aragorns head sculpts? It does seem that Aragorns head sculpt has changed form the last pics that were released.

Do you have pics of those?

I'd be happy with that. Still don't like the forhead, but it's better than those other pics!

You don't even like the close mouthed sculpt?

From what I can make out on my phone he looks good in the picture on the horse.
