Depends on what you mean by most, and who you happen to be referring to as being most companies. I suppose I should have explained that by 'proto type' I meant an expectation of what the final figure will look like. Approved sculpt, professionally painted, in costume. Changes being minor, such as accessories, acquired materials, factory paint apps.
They may state 'pending approval' to cover themselves, but they also state 'authentic likeness' which I find deceitful in many cases. Not that they did with this figure, just that they do describe many of their figures as having it. Is it a language problem? Should it be approved likeness? No matter, if the likeness is pending approval, they ought to fuzz out the features until it is, or post pics once approval is given. We'll still be talking and anticipating for 6 months in any case. Personally, I would find it a more honest practise.
I single out Hot Toys, due to their major changes, and the efforts they go to to recall images, released by themselves, on the net. It may not be particularly new, but I find it particularly annoying, sometimes disappointing and just a plain dumb thing to do, other than stir up controversy and hype. In which case they succeed. At being controversial and dumb that is. Apparently it works for them because they keep on doing it.
Most companies do it... they release previews with the pending approval label every time... changes usually aren't as drastic, but it's nothing new...
