Those are very nice and helpful high res images. Thanks!
Not a big fan of the corrugated cloth in the robes. Makes it kind of messy and beggarly IMO. If it was in the proof, I don't recall it. (EDIT: Found proof images that show some of the cloth was in fact corrugated). That said, assuming all the production pieces are going to look like this, these nice images let us get a much better look at the detailing.
I liked the smoother dirt stains along the robes dragging the ground on the proof better than the splattering they did on the production piece, as it seemed more subtle. But, that's a relative judgment. The splattering seems to fit as well for a muddy battle environment.
The armor pieces are actually looking nice. The weathering looks good, lots of detail. Looks like that will be a pleasing part of the figure. They appear to have gone a little extra, and put some tears/holes in some of the robe fabric. And the bottom edges of the fabric aren't just torn material, but exhibit some variation along the edges where chunks have worn out. The sword looks really nice. I may have to figure out how to pull the cloth material back away from the inside of the eye sockets on the crown. I'm not sure if a wraith sees through something like that or not, but it kind of distracts on a logical level, seems off. So, minor detail there that should be easily adjustable.
All in all, I think I'll let this one ship. My issues with it are the kind that time forgets. With that, it promises to be a nice representation of one of the more fearful characters from Middle Earth.
