Here he is, so far.

I finally have Chewy in hand! Blown away by how close HT got the likeness and the fur. Pictures don't do this figure justice! I've already begun lightening the face, and it's looking much more like Chewy. I've seen where people are using hair chalk, weathering pastels and even acrylics. I've...

Hey Cap'n, I haven't been on here much, but I finally ordered my very own Chewy (arrives tomorrow), and decided to look up this thread. I knew to expect to do some futzing with the portrait, in particular, and your work really caught my eye! Great job! I'll be basing what I do on yours. Can't...

Agreed, Hoo. But you know, even if they did go that route, it's not a deal breaker for me personally. He's awesome fully geared. :)

Asmus, just curious: What does the grey shirt underneath look like - as far as details. Do you have photos, or can produce photos of it? Would love to see! :) So excited about all the details shared thus far, and the images! You've done a great job - persevering the suggestions, criticisms and...

Bump! Bringeth on the update! :D

True... Asmus won't be able to top ACI making Aragorn look so pretty. :P Went back to look again at Asmus' latest sculpt, and I'm tellin' ya - it's pretty darn good. There are several scenes from the films where this visage/expression can be seen - usually during some conversation. ACI's just...

I have indeed seen ACI's. Yes, I can see Viggo - a prettier Viggo. I like it and I don't. Very mixed feelings about it. Asmus is coming through with a more rugged look and realism, best I can tell. That's just me. Each collector/fan is going to like what they like. And that's groovy, man. :)

Well said, hoo. Thinking the same thing. They've come nearer to Viggo's likeness than anyone else.

Just my opinion, but - this is really damn close! Looks more like Viggo than ACI's! I hate to say it needs any adjusting beyond more of a stubble beard than goatee, and maybe some longer strands on the hair about the forehead. That face is very close. Great suggestions, but any more tweaking on...

This looks great overall! Scrolling the pic for match from bottom to top shows pretty near close to me - right up to the eyebrow. Just a very slight raise, here, and it would be about as close as one could get with such unique and difficult features as Viggo's. Maybe a change in paint...

Cheers, Asmus! No, I didn't mean to sound so negative. Sorry about that. :) It's just been so quiet concerning Aragorn. After reading some other categories in the LOTR forums, I was enlightened as to situations (been away for a bit). Keeping my head up and eyes open! Can't wait to see what you...

Looks like this Aragorn is dead in the water. All this Hobbit talk and pumping out other figures is making me sad. :( I mean it's great that they're working on other figures. But they've veered off their original course. Sorry if this sounds critical, but I thought LOTR was the primary agenda...

Bump! Sorry... time for another. Hope the long silence is worth the wait of revelation! Please, Asmus! Show us an update! ... maybe a wave? ... thumbs up? Haha

Another strong start, Asmus! Agree with all points above - eyebrows a bit more leveled, eyes less oval/more straightened, Also the bottom of the nose may be a bit to sharp and long on the vertical. BTW, Wor-Gar - nice pic! Who is she?!

Asmus, you're killing me! Show us more! LoL :D

Accessories wish list for Aragorn figure (aside fromhis basic outfit): Ranger cloak Lothlorien cloak Evenstar Sharpening stone Tobacco pouch Pipe Hunting knife in the sword scabbard Elvish dagger Bow and quiver with arrows & the bag that covers them Sleeping roll Boromir's vambraces And of...

Cheers, Wor-Gar! "Freaks Dilemma" quote is perfect! Haha

I don't get a chance to post often, but I've been keeping up with this thread. It's been fun and interesting to watch the progress and read all the input. Cheers to all the constructive peeps, and jeers to the bashers! Haha And mighty applause to Asmus on so many levels - customer/fan...

If I'm not too late, I say grey shirt! Being that this is sure to be "Strider" Aragorn, he should have the earthy tones for a ranger. A suggestion, by the way: If the sleeves cause problems with the duster/coat sleeves bulking up, perhaps the shirt sleeves could be made detachable in some way...
