I think they nailed the resemblance

I guess I'm the only one who's just not really seeing the likeness on this. Especially compared to their excellent Gandalf the Gray proto. All I see here is just a generic old man.

But maybe the official preview pics will win me over...
 
Could be the angle of that last photo but it seems to be missing the droopy eyelids found in the film proto pic above it.

EDIT: I viewed the Sideshow video again and it does capture the eyelids very well. I'm really liking this sculpt, so far.

This is just a shot from a random scene where I assume light isn't blasting into his face. It's just the the skin tone of the figure looks too tanned. It stood out in the photos of the figure because everything is white. I hope it's just a camera thing.
 
The skin tone does come across a little bit too tan but I think that you may be correct in that the color balance of the photo may have been tweaked due to the white outfit throwing the balance off.
 
I tried to match the color temperature of the outer robe on the Asmus shot to the real character shot. I didn’t use any masks or anything just wanted to see how the skin color changed if the outfits matched.

Doesn’t prove anything since we don’t know the fabric is the same color but still interesting.

I think the sculpt could use a bit more warmth/red around the nose and cheeks to be more lifelike.
