Asmus Toys : Aragorn thread

[hoodonit00]

Ignoring all the photoshopped effects, if it looks as good in hand as in these pics I'll be ecstatic.

This figure has been a long time coming, so expectations may be unrealistically high for it. It seems to me that this is going to be one of those divisive figures where for some it's okay and others it's bad; that or it'll look good from certain angles and bad from other angles. I have an Aragorn pre-ordered, but I'm curious to see in-hand collector pics and a video review.

So far I've been underwhelmed by Gandalf the White and Eowyn, but I'm sticking to this line because I want more LOTR figures and I want Asmus to improve, which Bard suggests they are doing---if not with their bodies (still!) then at least with their likenesses.

The new pictures look great, but I am surprised there are none of the alternate head sculpt.

These newest pics are really looking much, much better. Seems like he's going to be a mighty fine figure. I don't think I need 2 Aragorns in my collection at the moment as I'm happy with my ACI version, but I'm excited to see in hand pictures of this one.

I hope there is no photoshop trickery on the figure itself. If not it really is an impressive looking figure. I can definitely see Viggo in the sculpt.

I still may add a few strands of hair to make him appear a little more "messy" but this figure is thankfully looking to be the best Aragorn yet.

George, is the figure that is in the pictures the actual figure that will be shipping? No last minute changes?

As I expected it looks like it loses some of its likeness but at least it doesn't look cone headed. Any other pics where you found this one? Link to where you found it? Thanks!

I have to admit the face looks soooo good

The screaming sculpt has become a smiling sculpt. Looks better, though I don't think Aragorn ever smiled.

Funny though, the smiling head looks even less coneheaded.

Looks like George Hamilton(screaming sculpt) from afar

 

[Platty]

Looks decent!

Optimism increasing ...!
