Omg this is the ugliest headsculpt ever could anyone see any kind of likeness here??
This is a blatant Ponzo scheme by Hot Toys.He looks like my 8th grade art teacher, Mr. Ponzo.
Worst head I've seen since smiling AntMan.
Oh come on - except for the face, glasses and hair that head sculpt is perfect!Omg this is the ugliest headsculpt ever could anyone see any kind of likeness here??
The people who predicted no one will buy the deluxe are so wrong.Definitley getting the deluxe. The price difference is not much.
There's £23 difference here in the uk between the standard and deluxe. I'd say alternate tentacles are worth the price of a DominosThe people who predicted no one will buy the deluxe are so wrong.
Something else I'm not liking: "Four mechanical tentacles (equipped with bendable wire)..."This was rushed out because of movie hype. At least they admitted it by saying that the head is WIP.
I honestly wouldn't even be surprised if this was the final sculpt initially but then as soon as they saw the insane amount of backlash, JC Hong posted up saying that it wasn't final.If this was still a work in progress they should have probably waited and shown Tobey and Andrew first. At least with them they could blur out the unmasked sculpt like they did Dafoe and still have something to show.
Surely it's a thick-enough wire to hold a pose, no?Something else I'm not liking: "Four mechanical tentacles (equipped with bendable wire)..."
Bendable wire usually isn't long-lasting. Toys Era I thought pulled an ingenious move on theirs but making them individual ball/socket segments. You can make them shorter if you like as Doc's tentacles have a maximum/minimum length.
I agree, the red looks nice aesthetically.Even though in the film he was nullified with the nanotech, I still think the red on the tentacles looked cool, so I'm probably going to go for the deluxe.
All of those captured the essence of those characters while having flaws. This looks like a Beatles impersonator has been caught in the middle of eating mashed potato by a paparazzi.Luke was definitely on my mind, and not just that one, but essentially every Luke. Then every Han Solo, ep. 4 Obi Wan, and Lando Calrissian, and that's just Star Wars. Hot Toys' has always been hit-and-miss with likenesses.
My thoughts exactly. Those were far from perfect, but certainly better than this. Alfred Molina should sue for damages.All of those captured the essence of those characters while having flaws.

This is a big concern of mine, especially since so much of the appeal of the figure is being able to dynamically lose and articulate the arms like they do in the films.Something else I'm not liking: "Four mechanical tentacles (equipped with bendable wire)..."

More over, what are some examples of the head sculpts actually improving over the prototype rather than regressing? I know there's a few, but that's got to be a short list.I can’t just take “not the final sculpt” as “this’ll be way better in the final product”.
Figures where the prototype headsculpt wasn’t final and turned out just as crap or worse, I’m sure others can add:
- Farmboy Luke
- Ant-Man
- TROS Rey
- Tony Stank
