I've got to believe HT realizes the mask and the body don't match. They either need to go all in with the gold lines or lose them completely. Heck, even some of the letters/symbols on his chest are still black, whereas they're gold everywhere else. If this is what they're thinking of releasing, I vote they delay it another 6 months and get it right.

And then when this figures inevitably doesn't sell well due to how cheap/different the design looks, HT is just gonna chalk it up to "villains don't sell." And then we can say goodbye to Mysterio or any chance of Vulture ever being released... :slap

That’s the first thing I thought when I saw that horrible picture...[emoji57][emoji6][emoji1305]
 
I'm still in shock. The head and body don't even match lol. Also like what was pointed out above, not even all the inscriptions on the body are highlighted. I'm guessing they don't have the final body ready yet and just popped the headsculpt on an old prototype/concept art body for the showcase.

I really hope that is it but I just don’t see that being the case. I’d have thought how big BP was they’d come correct, starting to think lately HT has bitten off more than they can chew with these tons of releases.

Found this on Facebook. Someone tweaked the colors. This is closer to the proto. I’d buy this figure. Come one Hot Toys

Another thing I noticed now the jaguar pattern is far more pronounced on the head than on the body and makes it look really disjointed.
 
Can someone chime in on what the general consensus is from Facebook comments? HT listens to feedback well so if people are complaining, they might think twice.

I got all excited thinking that was the same figure just under different lighting until I read that someone tweaked it. That does look 1,000x better.

FFS. He tweaked the color settings applied by the CAMERA in order to approximate what it looks like under more natural lighting. He didn't do any drastic photoshop wizardry, he just removed the excess of blue applied by the display lighting.

So what you’re saying is....there’s hope this is how it really looks? 😉
