Hot Toys should've given him a more neutral but fitting expression, something like this:

J.C Hong has already stated the sculpt isn't final which is good but seriously, unless the character is know for their iconic smile/laugh they should never go for these type of sculpts, a smirk, frown, etc, will almost always look better then these goofy sculpts with teeth showing, I'm worried for Green Goblin now.
I’m glad hot toys finally decided to tackle the doc but I’m not sure about the sculpt. Looks a bit too goofy instead of menacing. The tentacles say they have a wire inside. I’m curious how exactly they will be executed and what the articulation will be like. The Toys Era version tentacles are amazing and modular. Not sure how hot toys will be able to top that with a wire.
does this have the inhibitor chip and the mech spine?
Man, the nanotech tentacles look so much cooler. They feel as "busy" as the SM2 design and at a glance, that goes a long way. The sculpted detail also makes them feel like a significant-enough upgrade over the TE.I think what they mean is there is a wire going through the jointed ligaments. Each tentacle has 3 wires going through it, one for each corner of the ligament. This is a better shot of it:
Along with holding their position, the tentacles can never get twisted out of alignment. The yellow stripe always lines up perfectly. It looks like there is an internal spine within them, so I believe they are still jointed as well. So they might be sturdier than the Toys Era version.
Can't believe I'm saying this, but even his hair looked better in SM2.
I was thinking the same thing. Probably keep the TE version for the SM2 representation and possibly get the HT deluxe version if I like the final product once released for NWH representation.I do agree the nano-arms have more shelf "pop" than the standard arms.
The standard arms are also not wholly accurate to SM2 anyway, so the red variation is a mild adjustment. Given the outfit change and the glasses change and the hairstyle change... why not a tentacle change?
For those already with the Toys Era Doc Ock, absolutely double-dip for the NWH Doc with nano-arms.
Lol they can't even get ONE headsculpt right..you really think they'll give you TWO?!
yes I suppose so. I've little doubt in the end the HT version will be better but the TE is perfectly acceptable.So I still want the Toys Era version because it’s the younger version
anyone agree?
I mean, if this one isn't final, and they're going to sculpt another one anyway, just keep this iteration for NWH, and sculpt a SM2 version as well.Lol they can't even get ONE headsculpt right..you really think they'll give you TWO?!
