Cinemaquette Aragorn up for order

[LOTRFan]

The hairline/forehead is definately my biggest gripe.

Here is a shot from SDCC that I took, and CM did fix the hair since then - they thickened it.

Whats odd, like Dave and others have said, is that all the parts are very Viggo... but the total package is not working. One think I notice is that in the screen cap Viggo has more of a peak to the center of his hairline and the sides of his hairline come in a bit more.

The man does have a pretty ginormous forehead and the sculpt seems to reflect that well... but by having the straight front and receeded side hairlines it gives him that cromagnagorn look.

BTW... I really don't find anti-caveman/evolvist humor funny. Some of my best friends are Cavemen!!!

I don't think he looks like a cave man. I think he looks more like this character from the old Outer Limits show:

That big-headed dude may just become my new avatar. Something about his expression is just too funny.

Face Sculpt on this is one of the worst things I have ever seen.

Yep, the likeness is beyond terrible

Cool, they changed their policy. Now a LOTR fan can order one risk free.

 

[El Roranous]

I am going to order one of these too for a cave man custom I have going on. I NEED THAT FOREHEAD!

Not this one.

What an awful sculpt,he looks more like WWE wrestler The Undertaker circa 1990-91 than Viggo Mortensen. For the price that CM charge for these pieces there should be nothing less than a 100 % accurate likeness on each but apart from Jack Sparrow CM's human sculpts are all mediocre and I would only recommend them to people with more money than sense. Their Terminator exoskeletons and the Alien are awesome by comparison though I still think they are overpriced.

Well, Aragorn is only the second CM human that's been released. Arnold is 100% accurate. They scanned his head just like Depp's. That's why the T-850 and Sparrow look so amazing.

 

[bcm77]

Even if a person is scanned it does not always guarantee a perfect recreation when scaled down to figure/statue size. For example Jakks scan all the WWE wrestlers for their action figures but even so there are certain likenesses that turn out badly even after multiple scans of the same person. The CM Arnold sculpt is the best out there at present but it's not perfect and Aragorn is flat out awful.

FYI, there were "3" different prototypes made. Below you'll find a pic of the three...

 

[galactiboy]

Jeez, even with Cinemaquette the prototypes still look better

 

[Gruson]

Well,

Looking better but no hair pics yet...

They are almost too dark to help though.
