Embrodery isn't bad, but they should have used a less invasive (and all white) pattern just like they did on the shirt. Everything should have been much smaller than it is:
The silver embroidery doesn't seem too bad. The darker color around the collar area I think is what is throwing it off for so many. It looks like, and DC has mentioned it, that it doesn't look like thread. Looks like a dyed pattern. Not saying it's right but that's probably the reason it wasn't changed. Asmus probably had the fabric already made that way and it would have been cost prohibitive to change it. Anyone have thoughts on what would happen if the vest was bleached a couple of times?
All in all, it's looks like a very good representation of the character. Could a one-off customized figure look better? Sure, but that can be said about any mass produced figure on the market practically.
I think the best way to tone down the black is to use diluted white acrylics. That is what i'm going to do.
Avoid bleaching it at all cost, you will have a yellow/orange vest.

Thank you! Thank you! Yes, that helps. I do believe I will him sans vest.
Wonder if some kind of fabric marker could be used and traced over the lines?
Wish the figure had that pipe
I've personally ordered from Big Blue Toy Store and Cotswold Collectibles in the past. I have Eowyn as my first order with Urban Samurai. There are some others I haven't dealt with. I'm not sure where you're from. I think Once Sixth Bruce carries Asmus. I think they are in England?I'm ready to buy these guys as the GI Joe line died. Not that it was superior to this license just funding was...
Where can you buy this line or who are some reliable e-retailers to pick these guys up from? Do they have a legit online store? If so I can't find it.... in which case.. I semi-apologize for asking the question.
Sideshow's did. I'll use that one.

I've always heard good things about Urban Samurai. I think they are also the cheapest as of now.Thanks BIG time for the reply. I'm Canadian so Urban Samurai might be who I'll go with...although I've never actually ordered from them before.
Probably wouldn't be hard to whittle one out of wood or use super sculpey to make one.

Did you get the really good deal on the Ringwraith and steed?All I have heard is good things about them. My first order with them is the Ringwraith and Steed so I cannot speak of my own experience yet. I would have gotten Eowyn through them too but they were sold out at least temporarily when I tried yesterday.
