I'm the opposite of you guys. I wish SS had gone with a fabric tank top too.

Compared to the render they stick out and look weird. Look at the render and see how his teeth go straight down. On the statue they jut out in different ways.





See how far they stick out compared to the render? Don't get me wrong, I think they could have angled them slightly but its way overdone.

The new Sabretooth PF is how teeth are done right IMO.

The teeth looked fine until someone pointed out the upper teeth point outwards/forwards.
Once you see it, you can't un_see it. In the post above, the 'render' show's normal teeth position, how they should attach to the skull.

It's not the worst thing in the world as he's a comic book character but it is almost like his dentures are falling out.

I think they were going for more beastly teeth than human (the render) but they are just too much forward. It's still a cool as statue. I'll probably eventually pick him up after I'm done with the costumed x-men.

The teeth are bad and a deal breaker for me. Is it a mold problem? Are the top row of teeth cast separately and then attached? On some of my own pieces with open mouths the teeth are added after it is cast because of mold release issues in the waxes. Could just be a sloppy job at the factory?

blown up to this size, yea, it doesn't look too good, but I've been looking at a lot of in hand pics of this, and it doesn't seem to stick out that bad imo.
