To me, he looks a bit like Theoden. The Alec Trevelyan version of Sean Bean was better. That's the impression I have after seeing this preview pic of Boromir.
Pretty close. Beards and eyebrows are always tricky -- especially with heavy paint.
It's an OK sculpt but it could use some more work, specially the nose and cheekbone area. Hopefully the paint job on the production piece will be better as well. In my opinion, based on the preview picture, Boromir is the weakest figure of the three so far.
Also remember that you're looking at a picture of the sculpt that is three times the size of the real thing.
As always with these previews, when we get the real pictures I'm sure we'll all be happy...

It's pretty close.....beard and eyebrows are a little thick.

I thought the same thing when I first saw the pic. but I think I got that impression because his hair and beard seem to have a whole lotta blonde hightlights.
Overall I think it looks like a pretty good likeness in the end.

The pic does make his face look a little red, which makes the beard and eyebrows stand out a bit too much. But I think Oluf did an excellent job on him. If you're happy with the SS/W Boromir statue likeness, I think you'll be happy with this figure.
Instead of making him look a bit tired and rugged (as in the screen shots from the movie) I think they just plain made him look too old. I think its around the eyes that kill it for me.

I think it looks rather bad. Looks like a Hasbro type SW sculpt... it doe not look polished and the beard and eyebrows look pretty shoddy.
I was looking forward to this one, Boromir is one of my favourites, but this sculpt it pretty bad.

I really like it. His beard and eyebrows are painted a bit heavily, but hopefully that will be looked at during production. I think the sculpt is great, though. They got his eyes just right.
Totally agree with others that the paint is a bit off. The goatee and eyebrows are too dark and heavily painted. The skin tone also is a bit too red. Looks decent, though I have to say it's the weakest of the 3 LOTR 12" so far. The 006 Sean Bean looks more like him. I'll wait to see the unpainted sculpt on the prod blog before I make up my mind.
