Just noticed they also completely neglected the lower leg armour and the scabbard is utterly generic and not right for either version.

The whole thing is a mess, which is very typical with Star Ace. Aside from the odd scale, the lack of attention to detail is insane. Star Ace sculpting is also horrible lately. They started making Potter figures with great likenesses and now they are horrible.

I am truly thankful we have Asmus working on the 1/6 scale LOTR lines. They have been working for years to improve and get the best versions of characters made. Their commitment to the line is amazing and they always push their quality and listen to the collectors.

The sculpt is horrible, and then wrong sword is absolutely crazy. I don?t know how Star Ace stays in business with these terrible releases.

I really hope Asmus tackles this one in 1/6!

They told me on Facebook that they are!!!

I want the first promotional image from Asmus’ version to be their figure beheading this embarrassment.

Best news I have read or seen in this thread! Great news!

I honestly can't believe this company is still around. They started off very strong with the HP trio and somewhere along the way it became one train wreck after another. Who is buying this crap and why are companies still giving them licenses?

New sword for the 1/8 scale Aragorn 2.0 figure

Good. Thats the bare minimum I would expect.

I cant believe that this figure is $190 on Sideshow. Good luck with that Star Ace.

 

[Sildedaspo]

Yep, that pricing is absurd considering how much I'll be paying to grt Asmus' 1/6 figures. I thought $150 was a stretch bur I still barely paid it because I was curious.

I got this for Christmas. I like it a lot more than I thought I would. (No, he does not come with this sword)

This figure. I got the figure when it came out and I lost it but I still had the sword and sheath (it broke off the figure)

Huh. It works pretty well with the larger figure.

I just wish the shoulders had butterfly joints so that he could hold it with both hands

Ouch...atrocious! Star Ace strikes again! Are you gonna re-gift that?

No, I actually like it. It?s by no means perfect but it?ll be in scale with the upcoming DST Legolas and Gimli and it?s more articulated than the ones from Toy Biz
