Sad. Not sure I'm in for modding madness with HT thundering schedule for Star Wars.

Hmm, I thought he looked pretty cone head as well. But, after superimposing a photo over the figure, the dimensions do not look as far off. I think the sculpted hair throws it off from photographs where the hair has more body.
I think you're correct. The hair piece is sitting too high on the headsculpt. The headsculpt itself has the beginnings of a hairline molded on to it. If the hairpiece portion is lowered to where the sculpted hairline is, it looks a lot better.
All these comps are great but we're still left with sanding down the headsculpt. Can't just pull down the hair.
Perhaps someone talented in sculpting could make an "attachment" to go into the widow's peak and lower the hairline. I may try that first, though I'm far from a good sculptor.

So close and yet so far...it's frustrating because this was pointed out from the very beginning. Every photo Asmus shared since that first photo it has been pointed out that the hairline is too high or that the forehead looks too long. I suppose I'll wait till it arrives and see what I think of it in person before I decide to keep or sell. I'm more than happy with my ACI version.

That desk is a tip.
Weird. Asmus posted this on FB after a lot of complaints. Looks much better here.
Looks much better there.
Thank god! It was that dumb camera they have. Asmus, toss that other camera away already. 
I really like that sculpt!

If it looks like the second photo, then well done. Also, isn't the jacket supposed to be real leather?

I don't get why they keep posting unflattering photos of their work 
buy a half decent camera and put the figure under better lighting and they won't have to hear us complain as much.
Still not a huge fan of the sculpt but it looks MUCH better from that angle.

Sculpt looks good to me in that photo.
But beyond that, if I was a betting man, I'd say Aragorn and Thor are about to crush the Stormtrooper and the anime guy in that pick-up basketball game. They look like they have a serious height advantage.

Seems that the figure is OK, it is a problem of photoshooting.
The head shown in these latest photoshoots dont show the top of the head, thats the greater issue. The forehead is off only by about 2mm, but a good amount of shadow will reduce that.
Anyway i still have the figure coming, once its in my hands everything will be fine

Are those gloves sculpted? I thought the proto showed material.

Fig looks good here - but it is covered with PhotoShop smoke.
Alright, this one needs to start shipping out now.

Asmus said it's been released. I take that to mean they have left the factory and they're on their way to distributors.
