If its between Arnold and Orlando Bloom I'm seeing more Arnold there. I think the head sculpt it fantastic.

If I'm being totally honest I can sort of see where you're coming from in the eye area, but certainly not from the recent outdoor pics.

Yeah, glad to know it's not only me and thanks for the honesty vs. HT fanboy rhetoric. I love HotToys and I love this piece and will definitely preorder Dutch when Sideshow puts it up but for some reason, while there's no doubt there are Schwarzeneggerian elements to the sculpt, it's still a case of horseshoes and hand grenades with the likeness.

In those outdoor profile shots, it almost looks like the Predator's teeth have a slight transparency to them. Or is that just a trick of the light?
Could be, HT seems to be pulling out all the stops on this one, plus all the mandible pieces are separate from the head and could be cast in alternate materials. I wouldn't count on it though, just take it as a nice surpises if it pans out to be true in the end.

Insufferable S.O.B.
Maybe it's just me, but Dutch facially, I'm seeing less Arnold and more like Orlando Bloom.
Is this because the likeness issue was never resolved with Schwarzenegger? Either way, I'm still in to pick this up when it's released!
It's just you. Stop mancrushing on Bloom.
Put it this way if this was an Orlando Bloom figure I'd be saying its a crap likeness that looks more like arnold schwarzennegger.

I'm surprised there's so much debate over Dutch's likeness. To me, facially, it looks absolutely dead-on. I think one thing that might be throwing it off for some people is the hair. Short, choppy hair seems impossible to sculpt right. It ends up looking too uniform and can give the impression that the entire sculpt is off.
I can see the black camo perhaps throwing it off for folks too, but I see Arnold dead on in the face.
I don't see Bloom in the sculpt either, but there's something slightly off with the sculpt. But I still give it an 8 out of 10 in Arnold-esque and that's fine with me.
I think the hair color matches Bloom's and nothing else. The face is dead on Arnold.
And more pics...
wow im blown away i must order this
Actually thenammagazine I do see a little Bloom in this pic. Just a little. Much more Arnold though.
Can't say I love how the arms bend though. Jakcet might be the way to go with this fig.

That's the downside of rubber arms. They look great as long as you don't bend them.
Yeah, or at least bend them so that the upper and lower arm come that close, anywhere between 90 degrees and about 55 looks alright.
