I think that was a very fair review. I'm glad I didn't race to order him though, as I'm not really that impressed, especially when compared to the Weta version. But I get it would be hard to replicate the fabric to drape as good as a sculpted statue.

I think if I didn't have the ability to compare him I would have a higher opinion. Not everyone has the $$$ for Weta statues so I think it's not bad if on a budget but yeah it's put to shame standing next to Weta's statue. Thanks for commenting!

Everybody is always saying that you cant see the armor in statues and figures.....but you cant see them in the movie neither so.... but its awesome if you post him more in to a combat pose, posing takes a lot of time, always make shure you can see as much as possible from a figure and his gear the way he is facing...😊😊😊 thinking of getting him. He whould ge great with my crown series gandalf from asmus.

The cloak on this is WAY to bright. It’s supposed to be much darker. You’re also right about the hood looking very different from the movies. It doesn’t even have arm sleeves. The figure looks pretty bad.

Nice close look at the figure! Maybe a bit of water treatment on the robes would help to make it lay better on the body. I might add this to my Asmus Fellowship figures. You getting the Gollum two pack too?

Asmus quality is garbage. I remember buying the original Witch King from them with the helmet. The cloth used for the robes was frilling at the edges, and the helmet was GLUED on to the hood. But what made me mad was the piss poor quality of the body. It was literally being held together with electrical tape to "tighten" the joints in the arms and legs.

Nice and honest review! I believe its impossible to make fabric cape or robe that drapes naturally in 1/6 scale. Thats why only statues can produce that effect

yeah I think they'd need to use some really heavy material but that would probably be pretty expensive. Usually Asmus is pretty good with clothing but for me this just isn't working. If I didn't have the Weta statue to compare it to then I would probably be blissfully ignorant about the issue. Thanks for the comment man!

I have the ACI one, which was also done in metal. Personally I think the ACI is much better. As the whole legs and arms are metal and not just parts of it. Much appreciated for showing. As Amazon owe LOTR now its open to most to do figures, not exclusively to Asmus toys. So I know InArt are doing quite a few from this line and this being one of them. That I can't wait to see, anyway great video and I have submitted as I love the Lord of the rings. Will spend time watching your past videos.

If you were like me, and picked up the SYY Ringwrath to go along with the Asmus version, then you'd notice a SIGNIFICANT difference in build quality. The Asmus version is far from perfect but its a masterpiece compared to the SYY version.

I actually do like it for what I see. Also, still credit to Asmus for making the weapons metal, other companies maybe give you more accessories but all made in plastic. I think you're right about that "trashbin guy" flow, but I think is only the top layer of his cape which looks too worn; apart from that, I think it's good. It was worth a solid 7 to me.
