Is it me or was the sculpt downgraded a bit? Or is it bad lighting? Or inferior paintwork? Or a combination of all 3?

Possibly. It could be the way the light is hitting the face and making it look a bit plasticy.
Ever since Will Foxification pointed it out, I can't unsee the weird bulging chest on this figure. It just doesn't look natural at all.

The sculpt is a bit softer than the prototype. Will take some photos with natural lighting later!

Looks really good. Hard to complain about the likeness and paintwork.

I think it's a solid sculpt, he just looks really bored. Like maybe he was watching this movie or something.

I think it's the combination of those two things that is what's challenging about this figure; the wardrobe barely passes as something beyond street clothes so he needs the effect pieces to be visually interesting, but his facial expression doesn't look like a guy throwing fireballs. Probably would have benefited from rolling eyes.
Yeah the bored and disinterested expression is what is really killing this figure. The outfit I think is cool enough when the figure is posed right (and this is one of the few times I think the effects pieces actually work well), but without a more intense expression to go with it none of it works.
Not if you put him in a bus diorama

That'd be cool! Speaking of the bus fight scene, I wonder if any of the third parties are going to make his casual outfit set from it.

HT's decision on whether to have a neck seam or not is baffling.
The neck seam here looks like a third party piece, it's not even flush. I really don't see why they didn't go with a sculpted neck when you can't see the joint near the clavicle. The minimal articulation is not worth the trade off.

Yeah it really stood out to me in the review videos too. Seems to be a very large gap between the head and neck that could have been made less obvious if the seam followed the hairline.
