I never had the HT original - I can only judge by photos. The jacket, for example, appears to be exactly the same style with the same decorative stitching etc. But the material is shinier with a crackly, weathered finish. It looks good but I don't know if it will last as long as Hot Toys.
Everything fits fine on the body I got. The jeans were quite long so I put in the long ankle pegs, which is probably right for Jackman's height - a tall, lean Wolverine as opposed to the squat comic book one.
I think he has a lot of shelf presence for relatively little outlay (body, head and clothes cost a total of £67.47 delivered). He'll be even better when I finally receive my MMS220s so I can give him a spare pair of metal claws.
