That picture looks very cool! I've been looking forward to this figure since the first rumors a couple of years ago! Can't wait to get a better look at that head sculpt and the horse's kit!
This is a TINY observation and one that might very well be swept away by future pictures, but something about the body proportions seems a little off. He's ever so slightly ... I don't know ... stumpy? I think it might be because Bruce Spence, who played MoS, is super tall and gangly. I think he's over 6'6" and very skinny.
That's actually a specific body type that I wish existed for 1/6 figures. Sure, you can add ankle extensions, but it never quite feels right. Because you also need longer arms and a longer torso, too. The tall, skinny, lanky build could be used on a fair number of figures (any character played by Liam Neeson, for instance).
But it's a super-minor nit. Really, it's more of an observation than a nit. And one I would never expect Asmus to address. (This is a very minor character, after all, who doesn't even appear in the theatrical cut of the movie. And I'm sure they won't be making a huge run of him. So it would be totally unreasonable to expect they would put this on anything but a standard body.)
That said, I could totally see myself eventually swapping it out for a custom gangly body -- if I could figure out how to cobble one together ...
