Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

I'm very happy HT have improved the head sculpture. I was torn between this and the Enterbay version but the EB version will probably be more expensive. I have already preordered the ex from SS though and am very please I did (same with Dutch and Billy).

It's a great time to be a 1/6 action figure collector

Personally, I find the likeness of Enterbay's version to be better

Both Companies did an awesome job though!

I was knocked out by the original partially in shadow picture from EB, but I thought the full reveal made him look a bit too full in the cheeks, and a little older than he should.

Still, as you say though, amazing work by both companies.

The wrinkles on the EB figure look pretty bad.
Hot Toys wins.
Sideshow should just suck up to hot toys and get them to handle their 12" lines from now on.

Sideshow should gracefully bow out.

looks at the face details - how many 1/6 sculpts out there can look this good at this size - up close and with flash? - not many
