Ha! When I read the title I was thinking a season 9 Rick Grimes since they just released their other version…not a semi realistic Rick from Rick and Morty

Thanks, I hate it!
I get hints of Christopher Lloyd in the sculpt. Not really sure this is something people have been clamoring for but in concept of doing a realistic adaptation, I think they did a decent job.
Lol, third parties now going with fourth party choices.

Gee, where have I seen this before? Oh, right ...
That was my thought as well after actually seeing the pics, but the headsculpts aren’t the same

Yeah, I had to take a close look before I accused them of anything, but my general though is just that so many of these seemingly "random" figures are actually made because of some custom run. It feels disingenuous. I feel the same way about Sideshow doing David from The Lost Boys and The Dude from The Big Lebowski, even Beetlejuice to an extent. Those wouldn't have been made had they not been custom figures first. Just simply doing those figures are customs created the demand.
This look is so specific, that it feels like it's ripping off the custom run. T-Art made it because it was fun and it felt right for a limited edition, because it has a limited audience. But then for Present to come through and copy the whole thing, recast or not, it just feels like cheating.
Sort of like when Olly Moss made these Star Wars posters
Then people started ripping off the style and watering it down.
