There's a lot of blatant BS being thrown around in here and I'd like people to keep it in perspective. To say it doesn't look at all like Hemsworth or that it's a perfect likeness of Dicaprio is kind of crazy. To say that some of the best sculpts HT has ever done are "garbage" is equally crazy and pretty rude.
Yes, there is room for improvement - but the extreme reactions only make you and this forum look bad.
Remember prototype is awaiting licenser approval.
I'm thinking if I do end up caving and getting this figure this will be the pose I'll be trying to replicate
Remember prototype is awaiting licenser approval.
Usually they blur out the face until it's approved...right?

I don't know... In some cases (most recently the Jack Sparrow smiling sculpt, I think) they do.
But I also remember the Marcus Wright figure which got a lot of complaints about the likeness which was completely changed after the proto was shown. Same goes for Aldo Raine.

It doesn't help much if people complain lots on the Internet but still pre-order the figures. If you loathe the headsculpt that much and you still buy it, there's no amount of complaining that will convince the company that their product isn't good.
