Worse comes to worse I will switch the stock head sculpt with the Eric Sosa Aragorn head sculpt. I think his is the best likeness so far. Sure would like to see some production pics George.

At SDCC this year there were multiple vendors with the whole line. Most of the figures were $20-35. Frodo was $45 and Gandalf was between $55-65.
I was tempted but then I looked at them closely and immediately put them back on the shelf. Even at $20 it wasn't worth the space they take up to me. Gimli looked better than some of them, Gandalf being probably the best. Legolas and Faromir I think might be the worst of the lot.
Gimli? They never made him.
Makes sense, eBay tends to run high on a lot of items because the audience is much larger so the chances of finding someone who really wants it is better.

Lack of updates sucks. Last I heard this was supposed to be shipping this month.
Sideshow flex payment schedule has him shipping in November.
But, as we all, know, that can be slippery ...
(FYI: Their flex schedule also has Bard, Tauriel, Saruman and Mouth of Sauron shipping in November, too. I'm expecting at least a few of them to slip to Dec/Jan.)

I seem to remember they said starting with a certain figure possibly Aragorn that the factory was guaranteeing delivery dates. Based on the month delay from overseas release to arrival in the States I think all of them may slip from November.

In case anyone was concerned about body issues like those that Bard has (wrists), I heard from Asmus and they sent along a photo of the new body being used starting with Aragorn. Normal removable wrist pegs.
That's excellent news! I love that they keep making strides and improvements.
I wonder if they might consider selling/offering some swap-out forearms for Bard. I've got some knock-off bodies in my parts bin, but I'd rather not waste a whole body just for the forearms.

We have shipped over half of Aragorn this week.
It is expected to be all shipped by the end of this month.

Any chance of some pics of the two head sculpts on the production piece? Thanks
Wow! Super excited to see in hand how this figure turned out!
Thanks for the update Asmus!

Have to start keeping an eye on Ebay. You can usually see first production images there from people breaking them down and selling parts.
Oh.... if you could just move the camera a bit more into that open box.... 
I will need to avoid eBay so I don't give in to impatience and buy another one. I already have one commuted order and a second one on order from bbts in case the second head sculpt turns out good enough to warrant being displayed.
If there was a Gimli, then that wasn't SSC's line. Maybe it was Toybiz or something.
Good to see that his coat is green. It always looked almost black in other pictures.
