InArt: The Lord of the Rings - Aragorn 1:6

[chrisstbh]

These aren’t even PO pics so still time for improvement between now and then, and changes between then and production.

I'm not super impressed with the headsculpt, but I don't think its so bad that with a little work it won't still be the best aragorn out there.

Pretty much still feeling the same as before they showed the figure: Let's wait and see...

 

[Antarion]

So yeah, my expectation game: His chin will be phenomenal but sth will be off with the eyes. xD

See, same as every Aragorn ive seen so far.

Also i will never ever get sculpted long hair

I actually asked them on social media to get some HD photos and good footage before the Youtubers got to the event.

Looks like they took me up on that and got some random guy standing around with his iphone to get the HD visuals......

 

[DioramaMaker]

It's not bad. I think his hair is too voluminous for Strider as presented. Needs to be more unkempt and a little greasy. This is very idealized.

But I want all of y'all who jumped down Asmus' throat over the hair seam to do the same here. Because this is as bad if not worse than the seams on their stuff.

 

[Shoo]

I was VERY underwhelmed when I saw the first screenshot, but it doesn't look bad at all here. In fact, I think (probably an unpopular opinion) the likeness as far as the eyes is concerned is much better than their Gandalf already, whose eyes never reminded me of McKellen, while I do see Mortensen here.

Do I see guyliner again?

 

[Nagoya]

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

Do I see guyliner again?

Do these have moveable eyes? Maybe it's the edge of the eyelid opening causing shadows. Like the HT Indy?

Overall, this is looking like a solid figure to my eye (assuming better photos bring out more of the likeness). But for that price it's going to have to blow me out of my shoes before I'd pull the trigger. Feeling like it might be too rich for my blood. Hopefully later tweaks can change my mind ...

Hell likely have moveable eyes so yeah that might be what's throwing things

 

[Bravomite]

without the voluminous hair I think that looks very much like Aragorn

 

[Wor-Gar]

I don't see Viggo yet... but everything else looks amazing. I do hope they can make some adjustments to bring out more Viggo in the sculpt. It looks a little generic to me.

 

[Victοr]

True Aragoon moment. The Rightful King of Gondor this guy isn't. Let's hope by the time they try the RotK version they'll have ironed out all the kinks. It's not bad or anything, I see Viggo in there, but I also see Faramir and his stunt double from an SNL parody...

 

[Antarion]

Outfit is indeed amazing.

 

[redxavier]

He doesn't seem to be wearing a shirt yet. I wonder how easy it will be to remove the coat for an Amon Hen version?

They listed a price?

 

[Giimli86]

For 500 USD+ the face looks just laughable.

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

They listed a price?

I'm assuming it will be in the neighborhood of Gandalf ...

 

[Wor-Gar]

This isn't ready for PO yet, can't imagine they have a price yet.

Definitely doesn't look like a double-pack though.

Gandalf has rooted hair though
