I'm tired of the sculpt fights after every figure reveal. Sculpts/figures always look better in hand and HT does them better than anyone. I don't mind holding them to high standards, but some might as well print a photo out and staple it onto a 1/6th head.
Get used to it, bub. Sculpt fights will always rage on forever within the community whether you like it or not. On that note, I don't agree that sculpts ALWAYS look better in hand, but for the most part the photos usually do a pretty decent job in conveying how it will actually look once you receive it.I'm tired of the sculpt fights after every figure reveal.

It's definitely off, but not by much. It's not like an Arnie sculpt where you know it's so far off you couldn't use it. It's still not the quality I expect from hot toys, but the rest of it is.
True, it could be a lot better if they made the face a tad bit wider and applied better paint app, but for an unexpected headsculpt it's certainly a plus. Also I doubt we'll see HT get another crack at JG so it's better than nothing.
Yeah sure it's only about the teeth and gums. I actually hadn't even looked at the rest of the sculpt as the eye only gets drawn to the teeth.
The initital promo did indeed have a blurred out image. HT did add it as an update after announcing a head sculpt. I have pics from the announcement.
Right, as an update one week after they had already begun taking pre-orders at $259, they announced and then pulled mention of adding in a head sculpt. The messaging accompanying the addition suggested that sales had been so strong, they could afford to throw in the sculpt for the initial price.
Pretty sure we can agree this looks terrible by bloggers and in hand....

I wish an investigative journalist or something would look into this. I want to see a documentary about making this figure. Who is the sculptor? And why does the head have that line going across the forehead?
You don't have to speculate, we're literally in the thread that has the entire timeline recorded in it
I have the original Ant-Man as well. Definitely the best sculpt for him. A fun way to pose him is to put on the "mask" but leave the breatherpiece of the helmet down so you can see his smirk combined with the full helmet. Also looks a bit like he was in the comics with no mouthpiece.
I still want to know what the heck happened with this thing. Why did they first announce the figure with no head sculpt and then later announce the sculpt and then delete it in 24 hrs? Why is that even necessary, its blurred out in the image. Someone told them to take that picture down, but why?
What I think happened is, they had the clay sculpt and while they were transporting it, they dropped it and the top of the head got smooshed so they had to resculpt it. But then they had to get approval again from Disney or Sony or Gyllenhall, one of them told them to take the picture down.
Put Mysterio in your cart and then go to check out and see if it’s available to apply. I had that happen to me the last time I received a $25 coupon but it still worked.
Not gonna see him from Sideshow for another 2-3 months most likely. That's how all releases have been lately.
I tried. "Not valid on this item."
