One of my pet peeves when it comes to posing. People lower the arm and leave that gap in the shoulder.
Something looks off with the shoulder area on that Instagram pic. The armor appears to be sitting a lot higher up rather than in this pic. Like there’s a good sized gap compared to this pic. Maybe it’s not fully assembled?

I think you can move the shoulders up and down. I can see that so when you replace the arms they don't rub up against the top of the shirt and rub the paint.
It's a prototype.

Youre reading way too much into a figure that's not even released yet.... Take a deep breath
Given the break, you should maybe start with a smaller HT first and then work your way up to a Thanos — could be risky.

Has anyone seen the back of his head yet? It might be missing! If we haven’t seen it, it must not be there.

I have a feeling Hot Toys are going to lead with this guy after their new year break.

I really hope there are no nasty surprises with Thanos .I'll be gutted if HT have somehow found a way to screw up this guy.

Yeah totally agree. Their track record going from proto to serial is not so good at the moment. Wonder Woman elongated nose, Black Panther not looking much like the Proto, and a few others I can't recall off the top of my head.
But on the plus side. Coloured Aliens (I'm thinking Yondu) have worked out well. And both proto sculpts do look pretty damn good imo. So fingers crossed !

Wonder Woman, killmonger, black panther are the three for sure screw ups. Some say Cap and Dr. Strange but those two look ok to me.
This one has the advantage of not having to look like an actual actor or actress, so barring their completely missing on the purple skin tone I think it’ll be ok.

Sorry but I am one of those that thinks JL WW looks fine but I do agree with Killmonger and T'Challa as screw ups but not for the same reasons. T'Challa just looks off from the pics so far but I will have to see it in person to understand what is wrong with the sculpt. Killmonger on the other hand actually has a great face, in my opinion, but not going with the dreadlock hair just makes the head uninteresting. I get that was how his hair look when he became king but the dreads were just too iconic. I agree that Cap and DS look fine and I actually prefer the DS "suave" hair because it resembles his comic look.
HT's, I think, will make both headsculpts for Thanos great as they tend to get the non human sculpts pretty much right on. I mean, yeah he has mostly human features but the stand out stuff like the ball sack chin will draw most people's attention away from any potential minor mistakes.
Yondu was special, and I wish I had bought a dozen!
In this video of last week is also exposed Thanos (perhaps the final product because it is well finished). Too bad they did not show it with the second face.
It looks well done though

Special indeed. It's almost as if HT caught lightning in a bottle with Yondu. Astonishing figure.
If I ever have to sell off my collection, he'll be the last one to go.
