Oh, I don't disagree, but there actually was a reason I used the proto close up as the reference (and that reason is, no doubt no less controversial then the rest of this topic...). When the shots af the Avengers HT Widow were first released, I thought what I was seeing might have been the best HT female likeness I had ever seen. With the release of the WS Widow, I've found that my assessment of the Avengers Widow proto has changed. It's a great looking figure, but I'm not nearly as impressed with the ScarJo likeness. So in putting together that comparison, what I was trying to do was show the best of the best representation of the HT Avenger sculpt with the production WS version to make the point that even the production WS beats the proto Avenger Widow head to head. I'm sure plenty of folks disagree with that conclusion, but that's my personal opinion. I find the Avengers figure (especially the proto) to be an extremely attractive representation of the character, but not the most accurate now that we have the WS version... All that said, I certainly understand your point, guyver1.
It only gets that much more dramatic when we go production vs production:
Understood buddy and thanks for not taking my post the wrong way. I had to act right away because I saw some posters commenting their opinions on the differences by using your comparison shot of my actual in hand reference next to the prototype shot which could be misleading them to the wrong conclusion.
It was more of a viewpoint of how it bothers me when pro to pics come out differently than the actual products for HT. Even when they showcase it on display at a show or event before it's release.
It's like HT changes it at the last moment which I can't understand.
