Is it a 100% perfect likeness? Doesn't appear to be ...
While others may not find that acceptable from HT,
EXACTLY.
It's no worse than the typical Hot Toys release, and is in fact a lot better than many - Indy, Alice, RDJ, etc. Hot Toys doesn't do any 100% accurate sculpt - I'll argue they've never been closer than 80%, though that's a lot closer than most other companies. They all have likeness flaws, even the ones people most rave about, such as Bale, Reeve, Lee and Skywalker.
If you want the figure to look like the actor being portrayed, here is the best advice you will ever get: Light it dramatically and appropriately to achieve the look you want. Plenty of shadow detail is always a requirement. Under full light there is not a single Hot Toys sculpt ever made that can stand everyone's scrutiny.
Some of the recent pictures are great examples of this, such as those on the Batpod by skytoast - terrific lighting and angles which absolutely make the look.
