Send him down the river boromir style!

Send him down the river boromir style!

"Beneath Amon Hen I heard his cry. There many foes he fought.
His cloven bow, his broken sword, they to the water brought.
His head so proud, his face so fair, his limbs they laid to rest"

Are people actually getting shipping notices or tracking numbers already?

I haven't received anything for my order yet and I paid the first day the invoices started arriving.

It would appear he does have a slight curve to the nose in the movie.

Certainly shows how off the hair colour is. Otherwise, great piece.

 

[Platty]

No tracking information for me yet either.

 

[Mudblood]

They said shipping "next week," so I'm not really expecting anything until maybe Friday.

 

[lordregnis]

cancelled preorder, cant get past that head.

 

[RandomHero]

Idk, I think the head actually looks pretty good. Considering how bad the four Hobbits and Gandalf looks, Thranduil, Legolas, Boromir, and the new Aragorn have been massive improvements coming from Asmus.

It's not 100% Orlando Bloom, but it looks enough like Legolas that I think anyone should be that turned off by it. The hair color is really the only thing off in my opinion, but it's actually book accurate, so I guess I can overlook it. But that's just me.

I hate to be "that guy", but it is, and it isn't. Legolas's hair color is never mentioned in the books (but his father's is), so there's debate over whether he had blonde hair, or dark hair. So technically, any color is book accurate.

Wow! You know I have read those books at least 8 times starting way back when I was 8/9 and I never picked up on that. I saw part of the old cartoon movie at my aunt's house on TV when I was around 7 and I guess that shaped the idea that he was blonde.

A rehair will definitely be in order for this one.

 

[Platty]

Still no word on any shipping email from asmus

However an English retailer claimed on Facebook that the luxury edition will be in stock with them next week.

I wonder if asmus have sent the figure with no email to say so? Be a bit strange for a retailer abroad to get their stock before customers who ordered direct do.

 

[FlyAndFight]

No word on shipping to Minas Miami, either...

 

[obsidian7]

Semi-related, here is an example of some rooted and braided Legloas-like hair on a 1/6 Thor, so yes it's been done, and yes it can look good.

 

[cmiller99]

You'll have to pay an arm and a leg for it though.

 

[Thainitty]

Man that Thor rehair looks sooooo good! But yeah cmiller is absolutely correct, it would cost a ton

 

[Wor-Gar]

Looks great. The next level in 1/6th.
