Hmmmm.... on the plus side, I have to say that it is very close to the proto, but.... on the negative side, I see more Eric Bana than Harrison Ford with the hat on. Hat seems a little big too (likely because there's no 2nd sculpt with hat-hair).

Belts, pants, especially shoes are all very nicely done. But that bag strap still kills me, and the sword looks unpainted. A bit of a mixed bag here.

Very nice pictures though.

It's... OKAY. Certainly not the home run we were wishing for, but also not the complete drop of the ball and failure some expected and feared.

I really dig the packaging, though. That's actually my favorite thing about this.
 
I liked the prototype much better. The hat is too big due to it going over the hair. Majorly disappointing. Maybe a good paint job would help. Of course, you'd need to do something about the hat.

A year and a couple of months and this is what results. Ugh.
 
The paintjob actually looks good, but the sculpt looks very different to me. Did they change it, or did it get seriously warped during production?

Like Irish said, it's...okay. Just surprised that out of all the problems that were bound to happen during production, a changed/warped headsculpt is the last thing I would have imagined.
 
It looks pretty good in that 3/4 angle with the hat off but the hat does look pretty huge when it's on and in some of those far away shots he's looking a little boyish, maybe that's where the Bana is coming in. Little boy Bana.

This shot looks like Ford to me and looks pretty sold. The others I'm not sure of. Wish they would post higher-res shots of these figures:

Well the paint job looks pretty good. Sculpt looks good with the hat off. The head just looks undersized.
 
The sculpt looks good with the hat off, but no hat hair is a mistake. That hat is out of shape having to fit over the hair.
I'm sort of glad I cancelled as it's not really making me go wow and at these prices it's going to have to.
 
Yeah, I'm not feeling the production sculpt at the moment... I guess this isn't too surprising. I haven't decided what it is yet though. The paint is obviously better on the proto,could it be the paint? Still looking forward to in hand pics.
 
More Prototype > Production comparisons.

Not as drastic a drop-off as many of the 1:6 human figures, but still noticeable:
