For those getting emails from Sideshow, do you have the exclusive with the shield ordered or just the regular version?
 
I have the original and you are right, but the outfit is kind of boring. The body is pretty obnoxious as well so that would probably be the biggest improvement.

If they were to redo it, which I think they will, they will have to vastly improve the articulation to allow the figure to make at least some of those now iconic poses (such a poser) and includes way more accessories that just the pistols - the discs, the line and that mace can! The HS will also need to improve drastically as well. I certainly hope they don’t go rooted hair again, but this one is hard to do molded hair.

Overall I prefer rooted hair as long as its not blonde. I really like the im2 black widow hair but its a bit of a hassle to be sure. Blonde rooted hair whether it was the sucker punch baby doll or IW black widow makes it look too doll-like.
 
It absolutely is, yes.
Nice comparison! Hmm, both seem so identical, perhaps they used the EG sculpt as the base and added to it.
Forgive the crudity of this, but i copied the new head onto the old one in that image and cycled between them. It is 100% the same sculpt(Which was perfect in my eyes), and has some extra sculpting going on with the hair, fractionally lower ears(Could be the camera angle), and the noodle hairs. Just keep an eye on the left, EG one, as i switch the layers.
Like i say, sorry about the crudity of this:

 
I dunno why, but the EG hair and pale skin tones makes the face sculpt more appealing.
I agree, and i do think the EG sculpt has a more angelic paintjob. But i do think the Solo movie paintjob is a bit more realistic. I'll definitely pick up a handful of that headsculpt for my collection. I still have three or four of the EG head, lol.
