For those in the UK, TGTBTR has this up for £249.00
Comics&Cocktails £269.99
Not sure who else has this up yet.
As always I recommend TGTBTR though.

Yeah I always order with THTBTR. Haven't got anything from C&C in a while.
I have to wait a bit longer but I like to support UK retailers.

Cheers for the screenshots. Saves listening to that clown Justine.
It's complicated for me. We definitely saw more neck at Tokyo Comic Con:
Is that just the shirt, or was Spanbauer right about the head sitting lower on the neck this time around?

As with most action figures it is possible to pull the head up a bit from the neck peg to adjust the height of the neck that is showing on your figure or if you want the opposite effect, push the head further down to make the neck seem shorter.
I am sure that is what happened here. Nothing mysterious.

This is getting more difficult now with Hot Toys' rolling eyes, because they use a clear plastic socket on top of the ball joint, that plugs into a matching shape inside the sculpt.
With older sculpts you could put tack on top of the rubber cup covering the ball joint to keep it set higher.
You could do the same with the new style, but it would likely be less secure.
(I find the new system fiddly, as the two parts don't always want to connect, and it can end up moving the eye stalks so you have to start over adjusting the eyes).
One reason why the head may be sitting lower is that the ball joint (the barbell piece) may not be vertical, which wasn't an issue when there was less empty space inside the sculpts.

Ah, okay. Didn't know that. Sounds bothersome...
Bro Baylan is oversupplied in HKI have a feeling this will be a very low production and we might see another Baylon Skoll scenario.. That’s good to me

This is what they look like now, with a sculpt hollow enough to move the eyes either with their tool, or with your finger which I find more controllable:
The black barbell can fold over while trying to connect the sculpt, leaving the clear socket remaining upright, which would allow the head to sit lower than it should.
