No... to be fake/copy (at least for toys/sculptures)... a product will have to be released first before being copied.

I believe DC direct are 13 inches.... HT's Predator size...

There's history where HT cannot secure the rights, & they had to switch Head Sculpts... Maybe Milla's agents/groupy pull back the rights...

Popping sipdey eyes out...

^just a box.... not that nice too .... so long the goods are fine..

... I can add a few more examples... BD Mk.3, a Kojun face sculpt was promised but not delivered, Super-preds: shorter retail unit than proto, weak Edward scissor-hands HS, Mk.4 (and Mk.6) face were not revealed until a week or so before release, Jack Sparrow's 2nd face sculpt still not revealed yet, apparently Indy's retail face sculpt is still in the works & not revealed yet (which purportedly caused the low po/interest/production). Most of us have to put money in (even fully) up to even 8 months ahead with the faith HT will deliver, the record is good but not full proof, and they do hold back face sculpts (with right/approval pending) even after announcement, while they also hold (some) of our money.

Which is why HT put the clause of "it being prototype subjected to change" after BD Mk.3 (hopefully because of internet campaining) . If (BIG if) HT lost rights to Milla face sculpt, they could always release a long awaited new TTF with Milla's face sculpt, generate more sales, Milla with all the sci-fi/horror movies she's in, is a big money earner.

Surely someone with a better camera can capture this variant head sculpt... if not just for a proper sculpt progression (or regression) record.

Not specifically the Kojun sculpt (in the mag.) was promised.... but a Kojun sculpt was in the specs even 2 days after it was revealed the it was not, HT have taken the goodwill step to fully refund BD MK.3 buyers @ ToyHunter in part due to the online backlash. So in a way HT acknowledge it's faults for screwing its customers. It maybe out of HT's control but they can handle it better.

here's Another: from catcat of Toysdaily... it seems they enlarge the head but likeness it lost in the resulpt.

Colour matching for head and body of retail units is never a problem with HT.... not so with EB..

^ Might also be due to many 3A figs are almost similar with little different variants which may atribute to being like repeated posting

High probability but not all suffers from pinkish panties.. based on Luck

^ actually colour thinner not advisable.... you take the paint off. If really oxidizing (which I doubt), then use brasso/wd-40.

The body should be TTM19 variant, how could they source these bodies? could from an unpopular HT product.... say Dastan's body, but unlikely.

WISHING Good LUCK for those going to STGCC..... do take photos of the display prototype units. Autographs from HT's artists, signed box or figures can increase value too.

Ada Yulli? Kojun? or Howard Chan?...
