    Congrats on reaching 500! Art is definitely in the eye of the beholder. I honestly don't see Viggo but I do love the statue and I am pleased to
    get it soon. Prime One without a doubt is doing fantastic work in this line. Cheers!

      @@hauntofthecollector yep think it's gonna be pricey because it's huge. It's premium collection as opposed to master collection so hopefully a little cheaper than expected. But maybe I'm being too optimistic. Will be interested to see the edition size as it's the hobbit and I've noticed a lot of people who like it but only collect LOTR.

  • @Outlier777
    @Outlier777 2 года назад +2

    Thanks for the review. You were very thorough. I think the piece overall looks fantastic. I would have definitely preferred a simpler base though. I also think it's just a bit too green, so a lot of the details on the ghosts gets lost unless you're really looking closely. It's also strange that Legolas and Gimli were set on Helm's Deep themed bases, and Aragorn is from Return of The King.

    • @hauntofthecollector
      @hauntofthecollector  2 года назад

      Hey matey! Yeah, the theme of the base isn’t really an issue for me, to be honest? I like a bit of diversity, makes sense for Gimli and Legolas to pair up as they were ‘close friends’ whereas Aragorn does become the king of Gondor!

    Great review overall. I do think it's a good Aragorn piece, even with it's flaws. I never really saw Viggo in the sculpt much, but I do see Aragorn so that's a good consolation. I think the mouth is the reason for the likeness problems. I always thought it was too wide or something. It's tough to put my finger on it, but it's just not Viggo. The only other critique I would have is the paint seems a bit too flat and monotone and shiny over the entire statue, particularly his outfit, but that could also be due to your camera as it seems to wash out colors a bit. I imagine it's more vibrant in person. I think this is where Weta, Sideshow, and even Iron Studios seem to excel a bit more.
