Re: Aragorn PF!!!
When I filled out the customer service form this second time, I was a bit more... direct in my expression of dissatisfaction about how this was handled. I usually try to be very polite and understanding. But this time, not so much.
Siiiick, you deserve better - even if you don't vote.

Re: Aragorn PF!!!
What i don't understand is how each of us are getting different responses to our returns. The piece I received was a completely different one than I had before. Robodad's was quickly and poorly repaired and Darth Waller was sent instructions on how to fix it himself. All we want is a prefect displayable piece that is worth the fairly large amount of money we spent on the piece and in this case we have at least 3 different outcomes on that request. I am happy I got a brand new statue but it makes me feel bad to see other's CS experiences fair worse than mine. Hope all works out for you Robodad.

Re: Aragorn PF!!!
I had to send mine back as well. I found the entire process to be extremely smooth and the replacement I received somehow looked much better than my first one (go figure). I don't have any pieces coming until the Indiana Jones PF, then they will all come rolling in quick (Moria Orc PF, etc.).

Re: Aragorn PF!!!
Wow. The repair job I did on mine, MYSELF, looks waaaay better then that!!
Sorry mate. That really sucks.
Here are a couple of photos of the seam. Am I overreacting?

Re: Aragorn PF!!!
Turn around, Aragorn! For God's sake TURN AROUND!!
Fantastic shots, you guys...
Everytime I see more pics come through on this piece, I'm struck by how unrepresentative the close-ups are compared to the longer shots. It's all in the magnification and the two-dimentional distortions that you can sometimes get can really throw the likeness off by a lot and make the piece come off a bit doll-ish or unrealistic.
The fact is that many of the extreme resolution details which accent this piece are not meant to be veiwed in extreme detail (the red pupil outline for example). They are accents which are intended to be barely perceived when presented in their actual scale.
I fear that many who are on the fence with this piece may be reacting to an inaccurate depiction of the piece as opposed to the reality of it. I was one of those folks when we got the first in-hand pics (i.e. my "Darth Aragorn the Vampire" comments). I took the gamble and it paid off BIG TIME!
Trust me, THIS is how Aragorn looks in hand!

Re: Aragorn PF!!!
It's certainly true that close-up shots can distort what a figure really looks like. For example, I've had the Bespin Luke figure on my desk for a couple of weeks, and it actually looks quite good from a foot or two away, but most of the close-up shots I've seen are not nearly as impressive.
I still wish they hadn't gone with that style for Aragorn's eyes, though.

Got mine today 795/850 great statue NO BROKEN HAIR (YES!!) very well done and great detailing. My dagger handle doesn't sit right in the sheath on his belt when you display his hand without the dagger, anyone else having this problem?

Hmm apart from it being loose in the package, it fits quite snugly into the sheath on mine.
