Asmus Toys Tauriel

I love it can't wait to have this

I'm getting this probably no matter what.

But I'm still not seeing a likeness to Evangeline Lilly - the headsculpt has improved since the original Asmus prototype but it's still only 75% there.

I completely agree.

I don't think it's dead on yet but it's one of their better sculpts.

 

[slamscaper]

That's not production.

In all honestly, I think Asmus is doing a great job with this LOTR line. They seem to be listening to feedback. The one thing that is putting me off their stuff are the head sculpts.
(With the exception of Saruman, which I think is looking very good)

Asmus does provide good value and bang for the buck.

I'd like to see Hot Toys take a crack at Evangeline Lilly's likeness for the Ant Man sequel or next MCU movie she might be in.

Agreed, the paint can be improved

I feel like the paint apps can be improved on all their sculpts. The sculpts are generally spot on but the paint let's it down. Don't get me wrong, it's great paintwork, but it doesn't capture or enhance the likeness of the character as much as it could. Bard is another great example. The sculpt is brilliant, paint job loses the likeness.

This one is definitely an improvement over the last one and I'm glad I preordered it, but it's still not fully there. Hopefully it's even better in person!

Oops, just saw the photo Asmus posted on the Bard thread. It seems like they've perfected it. Paint apps have improved a lot! Should hopefully be the same with Tauriel then

Sideshow is carrying asmus lotr figures now. They have aragorn and tauriel up.

Order switched. Couple bucks cheaper than BBTS and might as well get a few Reward Points ...

 

[slamscaper]

And use a coupon in 60 days

They may be limited on Sideshow, so be careful in waiting.

This is my least favorite of the Asmus figures.

It's $15 cheaper but I'll wait and see if they drop the price like they did MoS. The shipping is cheaper through BBTS, at least for me. With SSC, it's almost $25 a figure which will eat up any reward points I'd get.

True. It's probably a wash for me. But I do like the ability to Flex these things. Takes a bit of the sting out of it.

I dont think it really looks like her, like others have said the jowels are a bit too swollen and that hair color is WAY off.......but I'm hypnotically drawn to this figure for some reason, theres still something very cool about it.

Asmus stated in the Gandalf the Grey thread that the hair color is being tweaked and finalized in the factory right now.

Have you guys seen the latest pictures? Seems like Tauriel is rocking some raccoon makeup. Looks a bit heavier than what we've seen previously.

Yeah, I posted about that in the Aragorn thread yesterday when someone posted that awful picture. Hopefully, it's just that....an awful picture.
