Yeah I don't get what happened, seriously. Proto looked so good and then this. Doesn't really matter to me because I wasn't gonna display him with the sculpt but still really sucks to not have that option anymore.

Based on this Chadwick headsculpt debacle, I guess IW Bucky is no longer a must buy/pre-order pending final product photos... 
I agree the final product differentiates quite noticeably from the prototype. I think the likeness is there, however the skin tone seems off in my opinion, though I cannot be too bothered by it because I seldomly use the alternate/unmasked head sculpts.
The suit on the figure and masked head sculpt seem incredible, so many patterns and the UV light display is fantastic, from the reviews I've seen.

Watching that last review, the thing that's bugging me even more than the sculpt (besides how little French I've retained over the years) is the slight gap that shows at the back of the mask. I don't see that on my CW version or T'Chaka. I wonder if that's a result of the swap out feature for the eyes. Hopefully we can bore out the post insert a bit if needed.

It’s the eyes for sure. They look a bit droopy on the bottom
I have the CW version, but am getting this one too. I agree that something with the HS looks slightly off but I can’t put my finger on it. Honestly though, if this figure didn’t have the black light feature then I would be more than happy with the Mayvel Legends 12” figure. You at least don’t have to worry about the suit with the ML figure and the paint is really nice. The black light feature though makes this an awesome centerpiece!

After watching this video, can’t no one tell me it’s just lighting. That sh*# couldn’t have come from that prototype

Bruh. They better not do Shuri and Bucky like this. Those are my most anticipated figures this year along with Thanos.

For an upscaled Mezco headsculpt this isn't terrible guys.

Proto vs reality. Hot Toys is roping people in with high quality protos, and generating cheaper sculpts and paints in the final release. (photo from VIRTUAL DEVIL)

Holy &^$! IMO not as bad as the Finn thing, but WTF!
*irritated* - think the masked sculpt w. eyes is kinda cool - but what happened to the hair texture and mouth? Is that varnish lines on the eyes?
*bitter* Bucky needed a new sculpt - is that gonna be ruined too along w. *&^ paint? (Shuri as well....
)Yeah. I mean I'll keep my POs as assume HT wont' f*&^ up Bucky costume and arm. Guess I'm gonna have to learn to mod sculpts/touch up paint since I have extra CW Bucky sculpt. Maybe the CW Bucky could have been better but at least it looked like HT put in some effort.
Maybe Shuri will come out OK like Hela did, as a first effort. Hope HT won't be stupid as w. Shuri and Bucky there's no mask, horns, or even questionable beard and accessories to gloss over a poor release.

This is exactly why Hot Toys commands the big bucks!!! That's a great comparison shot between quality Hot Toys work and a cheap knock-off brand...oh wait...
The BP 2.0 suit itself looks pretty awesome, but I'm sorry I can't support a company that pulls this bait and switch. This is legit false advertisement...Billy MacFarland, are you consulting for Hot Toys now???

Exactly, this isn't a tweaked sculpt. It is a totally new sculpt, with less detail, easier to mass produce. Not done for quality, but done for cost savings on a marvel legends production machine.

Their is sooo much detail lost in the sculpt like WTF?? Why cheap out since you put effort into every other part of the figure?? At this point might as well just get the CW BP or wait till sideshow discounts this figure

*sigh*... this is really disappointing. I was anticipating this release and was willing to wait to see it in-hand, but these recent images are showing a precipitous drop in quality. I can't help but feel I need to vote with my wallet and cancel this pre-order, NRD be damned. It's really not looking better. What to do...
