Asmus Toys : Aragorn thread

[FlyAndFight]

That might be the best Aragorn likeness I've seen. (And I own a LOT of them.)

I'm 100% buying the figure, but I'd totally buy a second head, too, if you guys offered them. He looks fantastic.

My sentiments exactly. I too have a number of Aragorn sculpts but this looks to be THE best one, so far.

I too would purchase a spare sculpt (or two) if available, to update my other Aragorn figures.

Thanks for the pic Asmus. Can?t wait to see it painted.(sorry I?m never happy )

 

[Thainitty]

Looking good but my eyes can never tell until the proto is painted.....looking forward to the painted sample

 

[Chopper Face]

Oh Asmus, I think you’ve done it. Finally someone has captured the Loch Ness Monster of head sculpts. A lot hangs on the paint job now but I have very high hopes and I absolutely love that hair. Sure, rooted is the preference but capturing that wavy, greasy, layered look would be even more work than is going into Crown Series Gandalf.
I hope Aragorn doesn’t also get an essential accessory made into an Exclusive item.

Wow!!! Remarkable! How soon can we expect for this to go up for preorder? I imagined that this was a 2020 figure but based upon where it is in its development should we expect mid - late 2021? I am not complaining...I will take a GREAT Aragorn in 2021 over a good Aragorn in 2020.

Damn I hope not.

Damn I hope not.

Yep I am trying to look at the silver lining but I just started building my Asmus LOTR collection and I was really looking forward to adding an Aragorn this year. Knowing this is coming has been the only thing restraining me from paying ridiculous EBay prices for one.

Asmus...that sculpt looks amazing!! Can't wait to see it all painted up.

Oh mate

I'm optimistic on that Aragorn sculpt! It looks bit like borimir too but Asmus has been doing a good job with heads as of late I'm encouraged and supportive it will be the best Aragorn we have seen from them yet. hopefully the best.

Asmus it might be nice if you can ensure the sculpt under is completely bald and the sculpted hair does not cut chunks into the forehead it would be great as many of us will add real hair, of course though, I understand whatever production methods necessary to have it look right in sculpted form would be the first priority.

Seems excellent !

Good point !

it is not completely bold,
because we sculpted a little back hair on the 2nd layer of the head (so the hair has more depth, rather than just a "flat" hair piece)
but if you chop those hair off, you still get a bold head ?

I will show you a sample to explain what I mean when I have it in hand

 

[hoodonit00]

Asmus since you're being so nice answering questions. Any estimate on when Aragorn is going to be shown?

 

[Gipetto0812]

Yes,
the sculpting part has completed, the artist is working on the paint job at moment

That looks great! I love the hair sculpt on this one. very full and much like in the movie, not to mention the details in the stranding of the hair. The open mouth is a nice change too. I think this gives it a bit more expression.

Asmus since you're being so nice answering questions. Any estimate on when Aragorn is going to be shown?

And when he might go up for order.

 

[Imzee]

Are there any possible plans of a rerelease of this aragorn figure with rooted hair?
