I just saw these photos and the figure looks close to perfect for me.

Since someone mentioned it earlier, I just can't stop seeing Jim Morrison in a Han Solo costume.

Crikey!
Doesn't look like Jim Morrison. 
Yeah, this is about 70% Han Solo, 100% Jim Morrison dressed up like Han Solo. And that's. . .OK

Well, I guess it's official that I can leave this thread and await the first in-hand photos 
Toy Hunter set-up looks great though

Which now will bring on Val Kilmer comparisons. LOL
My favorite sculpt that I would never sell is the Jack Sparrow DX-06. I came lately to the HT game because I was out of collecting for several years. But when I read that thread people ripped that one apart too. I think it just comes down to never being able to please everyone. I'm sure there are people who will repaint this one and it will look better. I don't have the skills for that. But as it is now I am happy with it and can't wait to get him. But as I said my standards are lower than some I guess.

Maybe repeating it 25 times and then taking a shot of whiskey…

I'll have 25 shots of whiskey and say it just the once

By that point it will look like Carrie Fisher.

A fellow collector did this over at the OSW, all kudos to him.
Although the angle is slightly different between the two photos, I think it show quite clearly where the areas of improvement are.

Great PS mods there.
Well the Sparrow sculpt changed from the initial solicitation to the final product, and was improved on. HT doesn't typically do that. But it's true that very few sculpts are going to get universal support here. Honestly, I've come to accept that Hot Toys doesn't get it totally right in the vast majority of the cases, and don't expect anything else. The McFly and T-800 figures also have likeness issues, but they are closer to the spirit of the characters/actors than this Solo is IMO. On the one hand, I kind of wish Kojun tried a smirk to at least better reflect Han Solo (if not Ford), but on the other hand, his attempt to do that with RDJ Stark was far less than a success.
Looking at the silver lining, it is more aesthetically pleasing than was Arnie Kim's Indy, and doesn't have PERS to make the likeness even more wonky. We've probably seen a dozen distinct Ford sculpts, and really none of them seem 100% spot on, even the Trevor Grove ones. So, this is probably the most we could have reasonably expected from HT.

Whoever sculpts HF for Hot Toys sure loves those pouty lips...

Weird - like Han Solo as featured in "Sin City." Sort of real, sort of not.
