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.

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.
