I think there are a few rose tinted spectacles floating around here. Yes, there are some parts that look like Wenham, but overall the likeness just is NOT there - as has been said, the face is far too round and different angles etc might go some way to explain this, but the bottom line is that the face is too full. I'm still awaiting my Aragorn exclusive (UK late as ever...) so have still to witness the "its better when you have it in your hand" experience, but if this is the prototype that they've worked really hard on (aka the Aragorn) then it doesn't bode well for the final version (going off pictures of the prototype and production Aragorns). I'll still get it because at this stage I'd like a full set of these to pass on to my children when they're old enough to watch the movies (still arguing with my wife as to whether 6 is too young!!), but how anyone can truly say that this is a good likeness of the movie Faramir is beyond me... The costume looks amazing, although again the prototype/production differences may come into play again - time will tell
), I think he looks just great, and besides, this first pic is really not enough for me to say yea or nay. The costume is looking unbelievably good, and the accessories are great looking so far. Besides, I'm as much a book fan as a movie fan, so I'm more generous here than I would be for Star Wars. Boromir was kind of the same thing; people saw flaws in the first pics, but after seeing the preview they saw just how great he was. I think Faramir will be just the same.
