I think the head size is going to be comparable to the HT ANH Han. Compare that to the SS Hoth Han sculpt and it's significantly smaller.
Discounting the hair, the SS Han sculpt is roughly equivalent to normal proportions - 1/8th of the overall height (1.5"on a 12" body).
The HT ANH Han sculpt is roughly 1.33" not counting the hair - so 1/9th of the overall height, which is more like comic book heroic proportions.
I saw this interesting page on proportions:
Heroic heights and weights - Super-hero measurements
The photos at the end with height information put things into perspective.

I'm not really seeing the pinhead thing, either. It's the damn hat. That thing is atrocious... It's oversized and very cheap-looking. And something clearly happened to the head sculpt. The Sankara stones got cheap-looking in production as well.
That said, the biggest issue here is that they're asking at least $50-75 too much for this thing.

Even though the paint looks decent the cut under his eye looks pretty bad. Also not sure what they did with the stones. Wouldn't think they'd mess those up but they don't look great.
Plus an extra $10 built into the shipping. That always gets me.

I think it's fine. I'm keeping my order. Yes the fedora is a bit too big, but then again I think it looked bigger on him in Temple of Doom, than the other three movies.

As I originally expected, I'll likely pick up a few parts... but I doubt I'll keep my preorder unless some amazing in-hand pictures surface.
One thing I am happy about: that Sideshow actually released productions photos this far in advance.

I'm wondering if they're starting to try and up their game and make us feel more confident by releasing final pictures before anyone else. In fairness I will say this is one of their better looking figures with a human likeness but unless the head doesn't look so out of proportion in more in hand pictures I won't pick it up.

I really want to agree but looking at the size of the fist compared to the head...
Also, what's up with the tanline at the top of the neck?
I really feel like there is some monkey business going on with these pics.
Agreed. It's actually very happily surprising.

How are people liking this version of the character? I really want an Indy in the collection, not sure though whether to get this or invest in the DX05 version, but I might consider picking up some parts from that (like the leather jacket) and maybe others and getting this one. Just curious what people thought about the head sculpts and other features.
Thanks in advance!

I agree I don't think the head's too big (I've been saying that all along!). I think it's a combination of the big hat, the big collar, and the sleeves visually widening the shoulders like he has shoulder pads on that is making the head look small. When you look at the whole body overall, the head size looks proportional. It's mostly when you have a crop of the head and shoulders that you really get that pin head look. I think once the shirt is futzed so the collar sits better, and the right shoulder of the shirt (without the sleeve) is perhaps tucked in, maybe with the water treatment, it will help tremendously. Sadly, not much can help the big hat. But it always kinda looked big, even at the proto stage.
That repaint probably cost close to what this whole figure costs.
Used to be SS = supersized sculpts.

Repaint cost $78. The guy is from UK
Repaint looks nice. Tough to really tell given the lighting though. And that's a really nice price. Is that yours, juanca?
I would consider having my Hoth Han repainted if it could come out like that.

Tough call. Personally I wouldn't want to get either one without replacing the head with a better custom sculpt, but if forced to choose between the current stock figures, I'd probably still go with the HT Indy. Just because I'd rather have a hat and head that are in proportion with one another than a slightly better likeness with an oversized (and kinda cheap looking) hat on top. Because that to me would just be even more distracting.
But I know others would probably go the other way on that.
