A Playful Aragorn Figure Offers a Very Different Version as Asmus Collectibles Officially Unveils Lord of the Rings QBitz Set
Aragorn before the crown
In The Fellowship of the Ring, Aragorn first appears at the Prancing Pony as a shadowy ranger. Viggo Mortensen’s version catches Frodo’s attention while sitting quietly in the dark.
Across the trilogy, Aragorn moves from ranger clothes to a crown. Yet his rugged early look remains closely associated with the character.
A new take on Strider
Jamie Dornan will portray Aragorn in The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, set before the Fellowship begins its journey to Mordor. His casting has prompted curiosity about a different actor playing Strider. The collectible offers another kind of change: a cartoon-style interpretation that retains Mortensen’s shaggy hair and stubble while exaggerating Aragorn’s expression.
A compact collectible set
Asmus Collectibles made the four-inch figure for its first Lord of the Rings QBitz set. Aragorn has a sword drawn, an oversized head and large eyes that give him an aggrieved look.
