Yep...Asmus' latest post with Aragorn sculpt looks exactly like the original they posted but with paint apps and better lighting. I'm not sure we are seeing any progress yet?
Yeah, apart from the new photo being in color (and blurrier) I'm not really seeing any difference between those two. If that's what the final sculpt ends up looking like, I'm going to pass.
But ... if they can get to something that looks like that middle pic, it would be an instant buy for me.
I shall keep my crossables firmly crossed ...

Yes, the blurred-between-the-two picture is the best I've seen. I hope they take the time to match that. If so, it will pay off for them in spades.

As far as all things Aragorn go, in my opinion the very best Viggo as Aragorn sculpt we've ever gotten--the one that is actually the closest likeness--was the NECA 1/4 scale. Though it is far from perfect, it's the only one that was a close enough likeness for me to ever actually spend money on...

The main mistake Asmus seems to be making in my opinion is they aren't making the nose and nostrils wide enough. Also the eyes on the Asmus sculpt are too close together. The NECA 1/4 scale made neither of those mistakes and so is fairly close to Viggo; it just needs a better paint job.

I personally think Eric Sosa made the best sculpt.

See, this proves that Viggo's likeness is completely subjective. To me the best we've seen is Trevor's from Sideshow's 1/6 maquette:
I agree it can be subjective. However, I don't think at this point asmus looks like any of those sculpts. If they come back with a good sculpt I'll buy in a second. Otherwise I might pass or go with aci. I'd prefer to stay with asmus though.
yeah i have to agree. the sculpt really needs to be totally reworked
yep I thought we were having huge progress with that "in between" sculpt so idk what's what now
As much as I hate to do it I'm going to have to backtrack and agree that the resemblance is not as good as it should be. I won't go as far and say it looks nothing like him but it should be much better. When they first showed Gandalf it was clear to see who it was supposed to be. What was shown was near Hot Toys quality. I just can't honestly feel the same about this sculpt. Seems like a step back. I think I was just excited to see the reveal that I was over looking the likeness issue. Hope the final reveal is much better.
