Feel like they kind of missed the likeness here.

It's not bad IMO, but definitely not great. I'm very new to the line and only have Gandalf on preorder. I'd like an Aragorn but probably a Fellowship version.

This was the 4th proposed head-sculpt for this figure which finally got approved and then as soon as they revealed it, social media tore it a new arsehole. As such, Asmus have said they will definitely revisit the head sculpt yet again. Viggo has an un-replicateable face it seems so I wouldn’t expect anything more accurate than this- just a different, equally as in accurate expression.
I actually quite like the sideways glancing one so hope they keep the intent of the head and just work on the likeness. |

I have the Asmus Frodo V2 and it's pretty incredible. While this likeness isn't dead on, it's better than some of their other figures, and only $190 for a 1/6 figure is lower than most everyone else aside from maybe some of ThreeZero's figures. I may actually get this, I need an Aragorn for my display for sure.

Looks like the Conan O'Brien "What if they had a kid" mix of Viggo Mortensen and Liam Neeson.

Nice one Webz. It's a miss. Wonder what Diamond Select can do. I guess on the bright side, he doesn't look like AJ Styles like what some other companies have put out for Aragon.

Man how I miss the toybiz days. I only wish bridge direct had done better with the hobbit. The Tolkien universe screams for a massive 3.75 inch line a kin to Star Wars. Not gonna happen but man the dreams. I just hope diamond goes deep.
