first thing I tried couldn't get it past the nose
Got mine today. I was able to pull the mask on without cutting anything, but it was not easy, and I was worried something would break. The straps aren't a stretchy material, but had a slight bit of give. I pulled it up very s-l-o-w-l-y. I thought it might not go over his nose, but it did. Unfortunately, once you get them on him you can't really futz the position of the mask at all because the bottom strap on the back stops at the bottom of his hair and you can't pull it up any further. Still looks OK, but as a result, you can't get it to look like it does in some of the prototype pics. Also, the strap on top of his head fits loosely and can't be pulled taut.
My other complaint about this would be the paint apps (or lack thereof) on the mask. On the prototype, there was some nice, subtle weathering on the mask. But mine has no real noticeable weathering.
Otherwise, this figure is as was expected. Clothing is good. Not Rainman quality, but good. Accessories seem fine. Addition of stand is nice. Body is pretty tight.

Yeah the costume is going to need some weathering I think. Also the mask looks like it was cast in that color so its going to need some love too.
Can the jacket be tightened??

You're not able to pull the top strap above his head to make it tighter on his crown or above his forehead?
Is he wearing the fat suit in these pics?
You may want to tighten up the straps on the straight jacket to make it fit more like this and so it's tighter around the neck area

Again with the crap shoes.
Are they? They look ok from here. If they are or not in the least they are different than the ones that they've been using on most of the "guys in suits" figs. In the proto he's wearing those dress shoes; these seem more like some kind of work boot
What the hell happened to the mask??? It shouldn't look so plasticy! Why was it not painted like the sales photos?
Strap really won't go up on the head like that because the material is too stiff and you can't rotate it much where it connects to the mask. You could maybe glue it in place to look more like the proto, but. . . shoes are big and a bit cheapish IMO (basic black paint coat on them). He is wearing the fat suit and the straps on the straight jacket can be tightened.
Seems to me the body they gave us has wider shoulders than the one in the proto, and doesn't look as good, though maybe it can be futzed better.

Is the mask soft plastic? It looks tighter towards his temples in the proto pics. Can you squeeze the mask tighter like that to give the strap enough slack to get over his forehead?
Agreed! That was a nice touch that we saw in the reveal. I'm really surprised that Denny would send these out like this; not weathered as originally shown to us and not fitting right.
Got mine today!
We need a 3rd opinion Ray! Tell us how to make this mask fit!!!
Is Denny sending stands with decals too?
Stand has no decals. That is an Evilface add-on. Mask is not soft at all. It is hard, presumably resin. No give there. And I just put him together quickly for some pics. Will definitely tighten the straps.
Hmmmm. So if it's hard I wonder how they got it to fit the way it does in the promo pics. Either it's able to but just a pain or they made the mask different than the one showed in those pics. There is a shot with the strap right at his hairline and another with the strap sitting further back on his crown. That suggests that there's a way to do it, no?
