No, I'm sorry but you're wrong.
No, I'm not...but that doesn't matter as I'll never convince you I'm right. You're stuck thinking that whatever prototype a company shows you they have to deliver to you since that's what you were being sold. That of course isn't true as you're being sold whatever product is available to buy and, as the original prototype isn't available to buy...well, you catch my drift.
Likewise, this is a great example of why some fans (myself included) never ever ever pre-order figures. For anyone to pre-order a figure based completely and only on images of a prototype and NOT on images of a final product means the buyer is running the risk of the product not turning out the way they expected.
When have they ever before bothered to explicitly state "realistic and accurate" 1/6th scale? I don't believe they ever have. They really made a point out of this to attract buyers who had previously been complaining about the P1's shortness.
The Berserker in the film is NOT 2 feet taller than the "Classic" Predator and, as such, should never have been as large as the Hot Toys Berserker Predator prototype originally shown in the promo images. Go back to the film and see for yourself how tall the Berserker is compared to Royce and the "Classic" Predator. Yup, he's taller, but he's not 2 feet taller -- he's *maybe* a foot taller..at max...maybe.
In 1/6th scale, that means the Hot Toys MMS Berserker should be at max 1" taller if not .75" taller than the "Classic" Predator as per the dimensions in the film...which is about what the Berserker is in production.
What is being released seems to be more "film accurate" than what was originally shown in the prototype pictures and just because it was originally pitched a certain way doesn't mean Hot Toys is required to release it that way. Yes, the company has an obligation to live up to certain standards, but I'm fairly certain this does indeed count as a "slight" change. If they had given him a third arm or a second head, I'd consider that a change worth invading China over...
The "vocal minority" of folks on here who are griping and complaining about the Berserker's height will do one of two things:
- gripe and complain and STILL buy the figure
- gripe and complain and NOT buy the figure
It's really that simple...
...but no one cries "false advertising" in those cases.
No one should be crying "false advertising" at all about this since the images you're referring to were NOT advertisements. It was a promotional image shown to PROMOTE the figure. I can see how you can interpret it as misleading, but it was not nor could be "False advertising."
However in this case we can clearly see the figure shrank to being barely any larger than the P1. Thats not what we were offered and I don't agree that it falls into the realms of "final product may differ slightly".
This is where you're wrong as what you're being offered is what's for sale and what's for sale is NOT the prototype, but the production piece. Thus, that's the ONLY Berserker Hot Toys figure being made available for sale and, as such, the changes that were made were deemed in the realm of "differ slightly."
And considering I've seen drastic changes WAY worse than this on a prototype, I think it's almost funny to see how heated fans are getting about this. Really? Really? Aren't some of you out of work or divorced or behind on car payments or something? Aren't there more desperate things to be worried about?
Anyhow...
This is fun. And when the chaos gets to the USA, I'm ready - just got my Mossberg 590A1 out of storage and ready for action!
The cry babies are at it BIG TIME! 
Remind me to shoot myself if I ever get this upset over toys 
... I am sorry for the guys who were hoping for a giant but I think some of the venom directed at Hot Toys is a bit uncalled for but that's a typical Hot Toys thread for you.
