Bad Sculpted Likenesses 2 :Aragorn

Another example of terrible likenesses.... introducing Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn....

Here he is as the dirty ranger....

... which looks nothing like the portrait on Sideshow's statue... the statue looks like some random guy with a beard... nothing even close to Viggo.


The bust from Sideshow has alot to be desired as well... it looks a little like Viggo, but what's with the sad, hang-dog expression. Strider never really looked sad in the entire trilogy really, it looks like he's lost a pet warg or something.


At last we have a "manly" portrait, where he doesn't look like his about to cry.... he looks like he could whoop some ass... but does it look like Viggo.... nup.


The is Aragorn going thru his "Fat Elvis" peroid.... yay, we've conquered the baddies, now I can eat shitloads and lounge around my courtyard. I've seen gay guys that look like this after too many years going out on the "scene" and have since settled down. Did Aragorn do too many 'party' drugs out in the wilderness?? And those little beady eyes make him look pretty suspect.


Back in ranger garb, this time made of plastic. You can just imagine him saying, "God, I'm sooooo depressed, will they ever get me to look anything like Viggo?"

Rumour has it that Viggo refused to have his likeness sculpted on these collectibles... still that's no excuse to offer us a random guy, Mr Depression 1981 and a fat gay guy as substitutes.

More to follow....
