Asmus Toys: Boromir

[GavilanOrd]

Here, on a sculpt I was most apprehensive about in terms of ASMUS getting it right, they up and nail it like a boss. Where was this sculptor on the other figures? This has got to be one of their best in the line.

This was a figure I had decided to pass on... but now, seeing it, I've changed my mind. Dammit.

Hopefully the hair application will look as good in hand as it does in these photos! I think there's a good chance it will. Especially since Boromir's hair ... straight, with a hard center part ... naturally lends itself to the technique and materials Asmus is using. Unlike, say, Gandalf, whose curly/wavy locks look better when done with Tibetan lamb hair and a LOT of work!

There will be more like it...

Boromir really turned out great! Wish I had ordered the rooted hair version now. The sculpted version looks really good too though. They said they would offer some extra heads later on, so hopefully they will still have some rooted hair versions available.

I ordered a rooted hair version from a Hong Kong eBay seller in October. I got a shipping notice that it's on its way. Hopefully I'll get it by next week.

Once again, beating Asmus to the punch. How does that happen?

Lol after paying for Merry & Pippin and the holidays around the corner for once I am not in a rush for Asmus to send out the invoices.

Looks pretty good. But what's with those weird dots at the top of his forehead near the hairline?!

 

[Kalkylen]

Those dots are from the lace front wig

 

[hoodonit00]

I'm thinking they will barely be noticeable at a normal viewing distance. I'm sure those pics are hi-def.

 

[drjedisith]

thinking about getting the rooted and doing a hairline drop and make his eyes a tad bigger.

Glad I got the rooted haired version but this looks like Boromir’s first cousin Boromi

Surprise, surprise. I just got my invoice. Boromir is apparently in stock. Woohoo.
