^ I'd say that was more of a grimace of effort than a smile.

Maybe you are right, his pants are very strong with this position.

It's like saying Batman goes into action without his cowl and with a "Joker smile" on his face. It just doesn't jive.

With all that being said....I will reserve full judgement until I see it painted. But as it stands now, I see the unmasked head going the SS Ex. Vision head route.....keep it sealed in the box or use it as baseball.
EXACTLY. I still love this piece, its my most anticipated statue of all right now, the unmasked portrait just isn't needed. but if xm is going to include it and im going to pay for it and they like constructive feedback im going to say it doesn't work here.

Being unpainted, it very well could be a grimace and not a smile.

XM can't please everybody but they most definitely try to please the majority. This is what they do. They show us something and see how it is received. They will listen to the comments and make some changes to give collectors a premium product.

That being said I am with the majority of the comments in the last few pages sans the "horrible" that think the unmasked head could use some tweaks to make it more appealing.

Looks like it to me. It looks like he is mocking Spiderman. That shows showiness or joking around kind of.

There are some pretty harsh comments in here. At least wait for it to be painted up before spewing such offensive words like "horrible", "psychotic" and "god awful".
Sorry but, you can't deem everything "offensive" just because you don't agree with. Harsh? Maybe, but no one is prevented from being (reasonably) harsh. I reserve the same judgements to all companies around.
I said it looks psychotic, I stand by that. That's the expression I'd expect from the Joker, surely not Devil.

As someone already pointed out, if switch outs are going to be added, make them worth. Right now it looks more like a forgettable extra.

LOL @ being offended.

You're offended. So what? Just because you're offended doesn't mean you're right.

This unmasked head is horrible, looks psychotic, and is God awful.

So far I am not liking it, but it is not awful or psychotic. I am sure XM will improve on it...just like they did with Black Widow.
