She'll be one of my most anticipated figures of the year. Can't wait to see the final sculpt. I perfer sculpted hair over rooted too but rooted may work better with the helemt.

Maybe we should clarify that is a promo shot of the real Miranda Otto (see The Lord of the Rings Weapons and Warfare book).
I believe that picture of her is used in a lot of promotional material. I just to it for what it is a reference picture of outfit and look they are going for.

Does that really need clarifying? 
Edit: I just checked the 'ask Asmus' thread - I guess it does!

Don't sweat it, it got lolz
I'm curious to see how Asmus tackles the chain mail. Molded rubber? A loose-knit fabric? (I assume it won't be actual chain mail. That would be far too expensive for this line, I'd imagine.)

I just hope they'll think something different from SSC Boromir sleeves. That looks pretty bad...luckily you see less of one inch of it.
I think what Art Figures did for the chain mail of King Aragorn looks pretty good. Don't know how it would look in brown though.
You have to love the fact that Asmus is really trying to interact with fans. For being such a small company (in comparrision to Hot Toys and Sideshow) they are really going to great lengths to interact with us. It makes me want to root for them even more. Of course it helps that they have my favorite liscence too.
1/6 Chain Mail is hard. I think the Art King (Aragorn) version look pretty good for what is is. I can't inmagine the cost of doing 1/6 chain mail. The good thing is if they find a design/material that works they can probably use it for a lot of figures.
Did the Art figure use fabric? I've never seen the figure up close and I can't quite tell from the pictures.
I believe Kaustic Plastic and ACI Toys have done some 1/6 scale chain mail in real metal, but I'm not sure what they charged for those figures. Probably a ton.
While I would be thrilled if Asmus used real chain mail, I wouldn't be opposed to doing a sculpted, flexible material. As long as it looks good.
I should be ashamed to admit this but my Art Figures Aragorn is still in the box. IIRC the chain mail is fabric.
Lol. Mine is too. The figure is a pretty solid figure overall but the body is a little too firgid, sculpt a little too off and a lot of the outfit is really delicate so he stays in the box. All of the Sideshow figures even Faramir are on display although Darren has customized my Aragorns and Legolas. I even have a Toy Biz Gimli with a Sideshow Lothlorien cloak. The Witch King is out numbered and needs Gothmog pronto! I feel like emailing bbts for a date.
Cotswold says late Feb. for Gothmog but who knows.Lol. Mine is too.

The way its going I am going to end up leaving Gothmog in pile of loot if it kreeps into March since both "Skully" and Gandalf are second quater.
