Boromir is hands-down my favorite Sideshow LOTR 1:6 to date and one of the best SS figures I've had the pleasure of owning from any line. The costume is terrific, the options for poses numerous, and the "fresh from the laundry" non-weathered clothing was a great choice for Denethor's cherished firstborn. Based on the continued improvement in this line, I expect Faramir to be amazing and the MANY LOTR 1:6 figures to follow him to be even better. 
Those pictures remind me of playing with toys as a kid, I would always take toys from one show or movie and pretend they were another thing in some other movie, and it just comes to show, the Rancor could almost be some creature in the LOTR world too.

Great shots Pruette...they really show off this figure at it's best (nothing like the light of day, eh?) I hope I can get one soon before all the snow goes away to get some daylight shots of my own 
...
...and love the cameo appearance of the Kenner Rancor!

Thanks everyone! The outside lighting definitely helped my mid-range camera out quite a bit. For the next time around, maybe I can find a spot that doesn't include the less-than-mood-setting deck furniture.

I just got Excl. Boromir a couple of days ago it's a fantastic figure.
the detail on his clothes is outstanding. the only problem I have is that his sword is bent at the tip and slightly curved.
After watching 300 today, I really can't wait for my Faramir!

Thanks for the links screamingmetal...I just checked it out and it appears they're already sold out of the arm chain-mail. I've sent them an email to find out for sure. Looks like I might have to keep looking...
I may be repeating myself here, but Boromir most definitely ROCKS! 
He is really an incredible figure, especially when compared to other figures that cost a lot more. Yes, it would have been great to have his fur-lined cloak, and it would be nice if his sword wasn't so delicate and prone to warping/breaking, but those are minor things when you consider this figure overall. I went out and picked up a regular edition to go with the exclusive just so I'll have some extra Boromir stuff to customize.
While I understand the desire to have a more realistic-looking mailshirt, so you can see the detailed rings up close, if you were actually looking at Boromir from a distance in proportion with the size of the figure, you might not actually be able to see that much detail in real life.. unless you had Elf-vision, that is. For that reason I'm not too worried about the look of his simulated mail sleeves, they look great imo!
Btw, from all the stills I've seen, Boromir had a more complicated knot tied in his belt than the one in the photos below. It was more than a simple "knight's knot". It doesn't really matter, but if you want that "movie accurate" look, then look for some closeups of him and you'll see what I mean. I tied his belt that way and it looks great!

My muse is a fickle b**ch
I still haven't opened my Boromir Exclusive and I really have no desire to open it. I have really lost interest in the 12" line of figures lately. I'm not sure why but it's probably due to my love of Premium Format Mixed Media combined with my sadness due to the lack of any PF announcement.

Wow, bien hecho! That stuff looks really good--it would be fantastic for a Helm's Deep Aragorn, too.

Yeah, that looks brilliant!
Let's wait and see how much they cost.

That's looks amazing! I'd gladly upgrade for something looking that good! I just hope the price isn't prohibitive...

So I finally got Boromir!
There's not much I can say that hasn't been said before: it is simply an incredible figure! The detailing, the costume, everything is pretty much flawless. One of the best, if not the best, SST figure to date.
Congrats Sideshow!

Cotswold makes some figs w/ real metal armor and mail. i believe they are custom made per order, so i bet mass producing might be higher, tho mass production can make prices lower too.
