Asmus Toys: Boromir

[warlock664]

I'm glad I ordered both; I'll display one with a complete Fellowship, the other with the hopefully-forthcoming Lurtz.

Asmus,
This is the best sculpt so far after saruman,
Congratulations, hope to see more from you,
Rooted hair is way more eye catching...wow

Give us the option of both, for pity's sake!

How this post has flown under the radar, I don't know. Well done.

Side by side, the sculpted hair is the clear winner in my opinion.

100% Agree. I'm going to wait til I can see it at SDCC, but now I think I may actually order the sculpted hair version.

It's crazy how the same sculpt can look so different depending on paint.

It's not just that. The forehead is much bigger on the rooted hair. Granted, I'm sure you can just style the hair to look the same as the sculpted, but if you're not into futzing with figures after you get them, the sculpted has a better Boromir look.

Don't make me choose, Asmus! Let me buy both heads!

 

[Sixth Scale Man]

Man, Asmus has really stepped up it's game. I had held off on LOTR, but since the Aragorn revision, Legolas and Boromir look so good, I'm diving in to the Fellowship. Can't wait to see Gimli as well as the Gandalf and Hobbits revisions. Well done Asmus!

Grmbl, deja vu when Legolas and Slim Aragorn were put up, retailer is dragging his feet.

They don't want to sell heads, they want to sell figures. If they wait long enough, a bunch of us will buy both. I ordered the rooted hair, but man I want to get the sculpted now too.

 

[Cammo]

I still kind of prefer the rooted version, idk why... + Aragorn, Gandalf and Gimli will be rooted as well.

Forehead is the same size on both but you have the plastic hair "capping" the sculpt on the sculpted one. You'll be able to style the rooted to look all mangy and in his face like it is in the movie.

 

[hoodonit00]

I do think the paint on the rooted version looks better.

 

[rjszar]

I do think the paint on the rooted version looks better.

They were painted at different times. I'm sure the paint jobs will look the same when all the heads are done at once in production.

 

[RandomHero]

The sculpted hair version is the most recently painted version, I would anticipate the paint on the final sculpt for both will be most similar to what we see there.

 

[DCFett]

Would be nice to have both sculpts available in one set...let the fans decide which one to display.

THIS!

Walter White with hair.

Walter White with hair.

Holy cow! I never realized how good of a Sean Bean sculpt the Threezero Walter white was!

So let's see...

Frodo - two heads, both sculpted
Sam - two heads, both sculpted
Merry - two heads, both sculpted
Pippin - two heads, both sculpted
Aragorn - sculpted (not well) or rooted (sold out)
Boromir - sculpted or rooted, maybe
Legolas - sculpted only
Gimli - rooted hair, rooted beard
Gandalf - rooted hair, sculpted beard

Something for everyone?

Sculpted vs rooted hair has been the toughest 1/6 decision I've ever had to make! Love Sean Bean, so I'm glad Asmus is doing right by him. I ultimately went with sculpted hair (ordered from Asmus website), because 1) the hairline looks better, and won't need futzing, 2) it's cheaper, and 3) their website has it listed as a Q3 release, whereas the rooted hair is a Q4. So we'll see how accurate that turns out to be.

That being said, I think the rooted hair looks awesome as well, and either option is a definite win. But I agree with everyone else that Asmus needs to release both heads separately so we can get both (and I would). Asmus has been ignoring those comments on the thread, but I'm guessing they will down the line after the full figures have been out for awhile and sold out.

Really, ever? In your entire life?

I'll make it for you: rooted.

I saved you. You now must pledge your life to me.
