Or maybe they'll just ask us to just show proof we destroyed the old headsculpt? If that will be the case, let's just have one do it and have photos taken from different angles and different locations around the house.

Lmao that would be pretty hilarious. I'm sure SS will eventually catch on...hmm, why do all these headsculpts break exactly the same???

There has to be a progression of the damage as well. Lol! First photo is one moderate hammer strike and so on. The last photo is the headsculpt completely pulverized. We can be creative and simulate different damages from different tools.

That would be a hilarious way to cheat the system...although someone still needs to sacrifice their Mk 85 sculpt then...NOT IT!

Yes, you'd think they would stick to that one considering a prototype exists. It also looks pretty similar to the new replacement one or ??
Then again it is Hot Toys, all bets are off.

Supposedly the "new" 85 replace sculpt is actually new...a post I saw on FB...

Yeah, I wondered that too--whether they would make us destroy the original.
Seems like such a waste either way. I mean, just let us keep the stupid thing and consider it a consolation prize for having to wait several months for the replacement and making everyone go through this rigmarole. Whether we want to sell it for a few bucks or keep it just to have an alternate, it shouldn't matter to them. They are really that petty that they feel they're "losing" money if we decide to sell the inferior, widely scorned and rejected sculpt for like $50 bucks?

The new one for the regular 85 feels closer to this yeah, but to me what stands out on the battle-damaged one is that for the first time on a Hot Toys RDJ sculpt the eyes feel right, and the open mouth seems to correct for the overly wide jaw the always give him.

They just changed the hair. People can be so gullible.
I dunno, to me it looks much more like they just went back to the original mark85 sculpt shown in the solicitation images.
It looks more like that, but softened by final production, than it does the Mark 46/47/50 sculpt IMO.

I could be convinced that the "new" sculpt is just this prototype sculpt with dramatically better (and lighter) paint applications.
That prototype IS the 46/47/50 sculpt. They are all the same. The only thing they've changed on any of those releases is the hair and paintwork.
For better or worse, this replacement sculpt is the old Tony head with new hair. Still better than the one that came in the box, though.

Hmm if thats the case im still happy enough with the changes they made. I have 46 in front of me and the new one looks distinct enough to be worth displaying. He looks older and more sunken in the cheeks and eyes.
But, your right, paintwork could be what is achieving those effects. Looking forward to seeing in hand comparisons.

Yep and different hair coloring. Angles, different lighting affect the looks. People don't understand.

Hmm, hopefully Justin gets the replacement head soon and we can see for ourselves...
Finally, I got mine on Saturday and yesterday had time for a fotoshoot:
I'm so satisfied with the figure. I love it!
Love the top photo. I generally like this figure better without the refocuser.

I stumbled upon this at a comic book store for a little under $400, new. I have some store credit and may sell some older stuff, worth getting asap? I was getting concerned about the L and the Mark XLIII selling out (I want both), but that deal is pretty good for a recent release.

Yes, that sounds like a nice deal, congrats!
