These are so much better in person, it's difficult to convey.
I think the main reason Aragorn translates worse in photos is that his eyebrows become almost invisible in photos, but in person they break up the forehead and make him look more like Viggo. I don't think the likeness is nearly as good as Jack's or Arnold's, but it's definitely better than he's been given credit for.
I haven't decided about Godfather. The figure is truly awesome, but I'm not that huge a fan of the films. (Blasphemy, I know).
