Ok, can you tell me which of the highlighted areas is inferior?It's an entirely new figure. Not saying it's total garbage. It's just not as advertised.

One thing that never sits right with me is that whenever HT does something right, Justin says "they totally didn't have to do this, so its extra great that they did!" No, man, for the prices HT charges, getting details right is exactly what the figure has to do. That's what people pay for. That accuracy is exactly what HT promises in the specs for every figure.
What I mean by "inferior" is when the final version doesn't hold up to the proto. The final doesn't have to be an exact copy but it should be close enough or much better. If you don't see the vast difference between the two then I don't know what else to say.
I mean you said it, haha.For better or worse, due to the popularity of Justin's videos he has more or less become an unofficial spokesperson for the every-collector and unfortunately he never uses his platform to give construction criticism, rather he only heaps praise on them even if the figure is only subpar (Ex: Spider-Man Stealth Suit - the final product cut SO MANY corners it's totally inexcusable).
I mean it's very clear he sings their praises so consistently because he wants to get in bed with Howard Chan, but in doing so he's really f'ing the ENTIRE community over by letting HT think they can get away with cutting corners.
Love his videos, hate his constant approval on everything HT puts out.
Look at those lanky legs. The weird torso shape. The proportions are all over the place. The change of the color gold and red doesn't look good.
Are the legs long or is it our eye expecting them to end/his girdle line to be lower ?. Is it just the design of the armour to not have as much skirt to cover the top of the leg ?Yeah the proportion on this is weird. It's the entire section from the crotch up to the neck.
As someone else in the thread said, it looks like someone who pulled their pants up too high. [emoji38]
If you watch this person's YouTube video, you'll see that they have posed the figure with an exaggerated posture. The proportions look weird because the abs are crunched--you can see that in this photo.Yeah the proportion on this is weird. It's the entire section from the crotch up to the neck.

Guess it's all up to Justin to salvage this trainwreck release with his positive vibes and his inevitable love for the sh***y headsculpt!
Honestly he's probably doing the community no favors when he constantly praises figures that have very blatant flaws and cheapening of material, etc. because I'm sure HT reps or whoever watch his videos and relay HIS opinion back to the HT team since I would consider Justin as having sizable clout now since his channel garners a significant amount of views.
"Yeah, the Aussie is fine with the shortcuts we took and the cheapening/softening of this headsculpt! More money in our pockets, yay! These dumb customers will keep coming back to us!" - HT execs
What's funny is that I remember people pointing out how bad and weird the sculpt on the Stark team suit figure looked in that Coming Soon photo.
People said that it's probably just the lighting or a bad photo but you can actually tell now that they were using the exact same sculpt as this one.
I miss Clilperking. He always gave a fair and discerning review.
