While it says "Human Ranger", the figure is vague enough race-wise to also be a muscular, bearded Half Elf or a more human looking Half Orc, while class wise it can change as well. In fact, with a bit of paint, this character can be an extremely customizable piece. The pose is also dramatic.
The most striking thing for me with this piece is the 3-dimensionality of it. The angle of the arm and bow, and especially the arrow protruding from it, and the angle of the cloak billowing from behind, give it a lot of impact when held in the hand. It looks much more like the stance of an actual person carefully stalking a foe than someone posing with a bow, and that alone is enough to make me love it.
The rest of the sculpt is very good, by and large. There's very good detail and the body really gives an impression of lithe strength and speed. The armor, clothing, and accoutrements are very well done. As others have mentioned, the face is a tad flat, but it's got enough personality that it feels like an individual,
The coloring is fantastic. There are subtle shadows on the clothing, and there are many fussy bits and touches throughout that are executed very well.
When I'm DMing, I use minis I've painted exclusively for important NPCs, but this piece is good enough that I'd unhesitatingly make it a recurring NPC.
Not bad. I like the readying the bow pose but I'd prefer a Ranger looking at tracks or setting a trap. Another piece that looks like will be solid for customs.
This pose is straight from the Kingmaker adventure path... great pose, overall nicely detailed, but the face seems a bit blank. Not the paint job, the sculpt - the face is a bit flat. Still, a good archer figure for your PC or NPC guide/hunter.
