Yep, I was viewing that on the phone and didn't see the lenses. Sorry for the false alarm.
That's definitely not a Hot Toys shield- the straps are some black fabric rather than the brown rubber from the official version. It's also lacking all the little buckles and snaps that the official straps have.

Does this not come with two heads or are people just unhappy with the civilian one?
Each figure only comes with one head. Stealth suit = helmeted & Rogers = unmasked.

Ah, I see the conundrum. A third head would've been nice. Maybe with a little battle damage. A part of me wishes this was his normal suit. Still pretty tempting though.

Really? then why tease the panzer figure and release it today? never seen two releases in a week before?

Panzer Cop is not a major U.S. figure not many people know about him. Same as Cloud from Stormriders. But it is hard to tell what is what, Kiddulttoys aka Tony Chueng eBay listing say released within this week so that is a prettttttyyyyyyyy bold listing to put up with out solid concrete assurance. But then again Hong Kong suppliers are pretty broad and vague on their listings.

I didn't expect (although I wanted it to be) the sculpt to look as good as this, but I did kinda want it to be closer to it.
Not as impressed with how the sculpt looks in the newer batch of pics. Although I like the decision to go with a seamless neck. I'm still ok with my decision to pre order, but (for now anyway) I'm a little bit disappointed with the sculpt I'm seeing.
Not disappointed enough to cancel though
.... Please don't use JC Hong's personally painted sculpt for comparassion
He painted that professionally, can't be compared to something that'll be mass-produced.

Why not? Hot Toys can get pretty close to their proto's. That's not even a rare thing, it's actually the norm I think. If you think it's unfair, forget the JC Hong sculpt only pic, the newer pics of the sculpt doesn't even look like the promo's (or is that the same thing?....

).
Maaaaybe it's the lighting, pic quality, or usual panic before release
lol). I guess we'll see when better pics surface.

I don't know why people keep saying with certainty that we'll get review pics this day or that day... no one knows. They'll show up when they show up.
