It isn't a horrible likeness of Jackman.

I really didn't want to start the likeness issue again. To me it isn't a likeness of Jackman at all. It's just a guy with a beard. I don't even think the beard is all that good, in that it doesn't capture the style of the movie version. It doesn't have that thick mutton chop look. I'm going to think of it as an adaption of the comic in 3D. I want to have a Logan in my collection and this is what's available. Take it or leave it, so I'll take it.
Now I just hope it doesn't come out with too much of a giraffe neck.

You're good and entitled to your opinion. I agree, it isn't 100 % likeness but I feel the same. It is Wolverine and he will be on my shelf go-go gadget neck and all.

I don't see how anyone cannot see Jackman in that sculpt. It looks just like him.

I wish I could care less about perfect likenesses. I showed the official photos to a friend of mine and he was stunned by how incredible the portrait looked.
*Sigh*, sometimes it'd be nice to see through the eyes of the uninitiated. But that's not possible anymore. It's like being unimpressed by a new Bugatti because you've been driving exotic sports cars all your life. Or something like that.

SHHHHHH Creech will hear you.
( I do agree with him on the Cigar though, it's kinda a big WTF!)
I can understand the cigar because his face doesn't really lend to having him smoking it, and he wouldn't look very cool just with it in his hand. You'd need a second, smoking portrait for it to really be worthwhile.

I hear ya's. 
It is a fine fine sculpt. Looks like a human. Looks alive. The skin texture, the hair, eyebrows, beard, five o'clock shadow, but who is it?
Put that figure in a suit and I bet your friends wouldn't know who it was. Except the geeky, comic book, superhero movie fanatical ones.
The forehead is the wrong height. He doesn't have that big a cleft in his chin. The mouth area is different. The beard is different. The whole shape of the head is different. But it just looks like him.
I'm not the only one who thinks so. Help me out here Ween.
At least I present an argument, rather than the lame o lame 'that sux' off the cuff style comment.

Sure, there are thing wrong, but you can't say it looks nothing like him, when it clearly does. Put him in that suit and it still looks like Jackman.

That's not a cleft, it's his side burns
And before I read your post I thought what a great picture to show how much it looks like Jackman

.
now compare the three pictures
Sorry creech, it wasn't my intention to raise the dead
I am not ween but I agree. It isn't a great sculpt of the character but if that is the final product, it will do.
I am a huge fan of the figure and the marvel line and objectively I can state it is off (not horribly) but it is off. Does that help your cause

I instantly see Hugh Jackman, probably even if he was posed without the claws and in a tuxedo
For the $200 this fig will cost me, this HS is not good enough. I gladly paid that for the Connor fig but this.....unless something gets fixed will not be in my collection and that Sux!! because I love this Character!
I'm with you Creecher!
I'm with you Creecher!
Odd thing to say, because I think this HS is as close as the Connor portrait.
It's not that i don't see Jackman in this HS, it's just not Bang on like the Connor one to me, i can't pin point it but even looking at creecher's comparo pics, I think it might be the eyes that are throwing me off, i still think it could be better....thats all.
Well, at least in pics so far, I don't think it's dead on like some heads have been, I just think how much it's off is about the same as the Connor sculpt.
This looks closer to Hugh than the Connor sculpt looks like Bale. Both are way off.
