Re: Medicom RAH Alien 2008!
Looks a tad better. Makes the figure look slightly more proportioned. Although the size of the head is not the problem, it's the size of the upper body vs. the lower body.
Actually, looking at it again, I think the head looks too big in the photoshopped example.
There's no going around the fact that when made completely accurate to the original's proportions, the figure becomes very top heavy and difficult to balance.
Nothing an experienced figure collector can't solve with good posing, but a daunting task for the casual collector.
Look at McF's figure, the entire upper body is way too small for those gigantic legs, they also decided to screw with the proportions to make figure more stable (a futile attempt, considering the left foot...).
Personally, I wish they'd kept the figure accurate, but that's what we have the NECA figure for.
Speaking of accuracy, I think the dome is fine, they just used a different prop as reference. There were plenty of heads built and there were noticeable differences among them. I'm a fan of the "hero" head, which incidentally seems to be the look NECA went for, with the more bulbous appearance of the dome. But this one's fine.
