No, I'm sorry, that is not allowed
I'm not convinced. Any expression from the film, neutral or otherwise, will not necessarily be replicated from multiple angles. Even if it was the case that lesser screen time = less source material, that shoot-out scene had enough frames and enough camera angles focused on Montana when he was blowing the beejezuz out of everybody to give a sculptor ample reference material to get the sculpt right.
Looking at Kang's sculpt, it is apparent that she really took the time to understand the character and get to know every facial component that contributes to Tony's mood and look. The same can't be said for EB's sculpt.
You seem to be making excuses for a poor sculpt
I think we need both of these in hand to make a real comparison. I think they are both awesome!

No excuses. I started sculpting myself and I feel that I know what I'm talking about.

You are making excuses. You're saying that an expressive sculpt is so much more difficult to get right than a neutral sculpt as the source material is so much more limited. I'm saying there's ample reference material available to the sculptor in this case, and I'm saying that Kang's sculpt is very expressive and she knocked it out of the park.
The white-suit Tony sculpt may indeed be awesome - we can't tell with those sunglasses on. But the dark-suit Tony's sculpt is undoubtedly not up to the same standard as BW's, not even close.
I've been 3D modeling for over ten years and I feel that I know what I'm talking about

Looks good, but Blitzway's chair puts it over the top
Plus, isn't BW like $30-$40 cheaper than Enterbay?

Like I said to Yankee, no different opinions allowed
i love how the forum a-holes always comes on and tries to bashes everyone's opinions because people don't agree with them.
i have the blitzway figure and it's nice and i'll pick up the eb one too. both look good
I think you'll have a hard time quoting those forum a-holes Jinroh. I think the discussion in this entire thread has been very civil

What did LeJuan do now?

i agree that the smiling sculpt was off, but since it wasn't show at either SDCC or Ani my guess is it's scrapped or maybe being overhauled. The difference here is TM was shown at this show, not proto pics but the actual figure. Will there be any updates to it or is this it? I admire the fact that EB took a chance with the expression, its an iconic scene but the sculpt should be near perfect before showing it. I also agree with Lejuan that it limits possible poses, I don't think this figure would look right sitting in the chair, it's a one shot pose there's no way to change it monthly if you get tired of it.
He looks fantastic in this pic imo.
From what I can see it does looks really really good, but again we need to see him with the glasses off...it's a great touch though along with he accessories. If he looks good without the glasses I might have my first EB Fig.

I think it's the nose that's throwing the sculpt off. I do see a lot of Pacino in there, but something's throwing it off.

Yup. Hair looks odd but otherwise face looks good in that comparison pic.

Imo the cheeks of the sculpt look too puffy/puffed out. In the pic his face is a bit leaner with the cheeks sunken in, would like some more teeth showing in the sculpt too.
