Found these on Instagram. Same sculptor did HT Cobb Vanth.

Looks nice, but I think SooSoo is also producing a Soldier Boy.
They are indeed but Toys Era beat them to the punch and have a good chance of offering the better un-helmetted sculpt.
SooSoo will have to show theirs off now or risk losing sales.

I’ll wait to compare.
 
If they don't downgrade that outfit and that perfect sculpt, this will be a really good looking figure. Will wait to see what SooSoo does but great job from Toys Era. Especially for using Yi Xie as a sculptor.
 
This is being released already! Got my invoice from giantoy stating it’ll arrive to their warehouse 3/1
 
The third of January- that's impossib- oh wait, Americans...

I was waiting for SooSoo but just realised that I'm almost never impressed with their sculpts and this one has a great looking face so I put an order in while I still can.

SooSoo, you snooze, you lose.
 
This fast? Incredible! Looking forward to seeing some final product photos of the figure :D
 
Did anything ever come of this? Seems like it’s still not out.
I paid my invoice on the 7th. I reached out to Giantoy to see what the hold up was. I was told they (Toys-Era) found a small issue that needs to be taken care of before release. They estimate it'll be about a week delay. So, yes, it's not been released just yet.
 
I got that message a week ago but haven’t heard anything else. Giantoy actually expressed they were upset with this slight delay since they paid their invoice to receive the figure then were hit with this news from toys era.
 
Kit Chen posted a couple videos of it. Says it's releasing this week. Figure and unmasked sculpt look great, that helmeted one is Megamind.

Thanks for sharing! I saw Toys Wonderland saying this was in-stock, but y’know…
The proportions on the masked head aren’t great, but at least the unmasked sculpt came out really well in production since that was the only one I planned on using.

Proportions of the masked head may look hilarious, but they are accurate.

The size is pretty much there, but the details are off, which I think is what’s making it look weirder. I won’t get into the “drawing lines on pictures” level of OCD, but the eagle looks to go further back than it should and the star seems higher than it should be.
It’s possible that this is just a fisheye situation going on, but it looks close enough that the sculpt is probably just a little inaccurate.
