I'd cry if I had to do that to Viggo!
Yep, I know exactly what you mean Ween, I would too
I think I would be happier to send it back to SS than to smash it.
On the issues of the crack...I have it on mine too. It looks to me that it is just part of the sculpt to be honest aragorn5391. Can't say I have too much of a problem with it.

That's it, my statue is now worthless, i will be throwing it in the bin at my earliest convenience! 
It's actually in the first video SS released of the maquettes as they were being assembled, before they were painted. So, it IS meant to be there.

Here's two pics of how the maquette looks in my collection. I think the base is a tad too high to mix with the SSW statues. Which I think is really unfortunate. It would've been nice if the maquettes were able to blend in nicely. On the other hand, I can understand Sideshow wanting to set this line apart from the old SSW line.
Sorry for the bad lighting.

I love the bases on the maquette line--gives just a bit more context and mood. Also feels more substantial.
Of course, I also like it when things match and display well together. But I do prefer the approach they took with the maquette bases.

Still on the fence on buying this one.
I really want to buy the exclusive version but I got the impression that there was a larger amount of damaged statues (chips and wonky eyes) than usual.
As I live in Europe, getting a replacement of any kind is always a hassle.
What about the paint applications? I have been looking a almost all the in hand pics but am still not completely convinced.
Is this truly the Aragorn grail piece?
So please convince me to buy this one, fellas.

I don't think there is any kind of high issues with the paint. Actually, seems to be almost nil on the paint issues. This is a great pice! I've had basically all of them I think and to me this is the very best of them all.

Buy it
There isn't, no more than usual, and the eye thing is just a case of photos being TOO close to the subject.
Paint apps are perfect, trust me. I'm in europe too but had no reason to send back!
Yes
Hope i've helped!
I was waaaaaay more impressed with it when I got it in hand. Do I wish the paint apps were as perfect as the promo? Of course, but it's still a wonderful piece.
Here's a few pics of mine:
very nice pics! it's such a beautiful piece with some very nice paint. if I collected statues this would of definitely have been bought.

I'm surprised by how well it fits in with the SS/W pieces, besides the higher base.

You think so? Olorins pics look good, but i compared the SSW Aragorn with the maquette and the SSW statue looked smaller, even though they're both 1/6.
Agreed! For me it wouldn't be about one piece being bigger than the other but just really great LOTR items all together.

I never get tired of looking at some of the great board member photo's.
Ok, guys I just officially pulled the trigger on this piece finally.
You convinced me to buy this.
Also, the pictures of Gimli pushed me over the edge.
I will be preordering him tomorrow too.
After that I will get Boromir.
Hopefully he won't be up for preorder this year or I may have to rob a bank.

Congrats on Aragorn. He really is a great piece. The detail, sculpt, and paint are all top notch. I'm sure Gimli will be as well.
Boromir hopefully will be up say around Comic-Con and then probably won't ship until the end of the year.

Did you remove the two from their bases when making the comparison? And have you factored in that the SSW Aragorn is crouching slightly?

I have Collin, at it does seem that the Maquette is a little bigger to me.
I don't have a problem with that however as I intent to have the full Fellowship in the SS Maquette & PF and SSW Statue lines.
I'll see if I can take a pic of them for you guys...if you like?
