Asmus 1/6 Lord of the Rings - Faramir

[asgardianboy]

It's what happens if you don't stay on top of QC. WETA, Sideshow, HT, Iron Studios etc. All have had misfires. It was sloppy.

I didn't express myself clearly: I meant, what is the actual problem with Asmus's vambraces?
Thx.

Thx.

The figure should have a left vambrace and a right. It has 2 left or vice versa.

So they are not the same? Aren't they symmetrical, with identical designs on the leather?
The Sideshow ones look the same to me:

Anybody?

Plus, I just noticed the boots are a one-piece abomination.
Has anybody tried to go out there & find any alternative looking as close as possible to the original design?
Thx everyone.

Take a look at where the buckles are on the Sideshow vambraces, there is a definite left and right.

I don't remember having a problem with the boots - maybe some folks did, but whatever posing I did - I'm very happy with the figure after a few tweaks.

Faramir, Captain of Gondor... you know the rest!
Asmus has shown plenty of it on this figure too, for the most part I'm impressed, and glad to finally put him where he belongs with the TT gang
