Gotta say the figure seems to look a lot less stiff with that helmeted sculpt on, as it at least lets you tilt the head up or to the side a bit.

Yeah, there's a nice range of movement with the helmeted version.
The Brie Larson sculpt will remain in the box, as I hate it even more than I hate Hot Toys' idiotic decision regarding her lack of ankle articulation.

Anyone else calling BS on Optibotimus claiming he got his from BBTS and it's already here? You know that MF got it from Hong Kong...

Awesome figure is awesome.
Tight.
Marvelous pics and poses!
Hmm, it seems most prefer the helmeted look
I actually prefer the unhelmeted sculpt on it's own, but on the figure when she can only look straight ahead it just makes the figure look too stiff and robotic.

Im in the group that prefers the helmeted sculpt. Ever since the pictures of the prototype dropped I knew I had to have it that way. The headsculpt does look great though, but like davejames said, she has no articulation with it. I suppose one day I'll make a Captain Marvel in civilian clothes or just buy the sw toys one when its out and swap the heads. Right now I'm working on a Talos figure with the blue suit from the movie and the Toys Era head/hand set, should be here on Monday

Good point, similar to what you aforementioned that this sculpt needed more expression (but for me I cannot be too bothered
)

I think I might try repainting the eyes on mine to have her looking a bit up or to the side, just to convey a bit more life and personality.
Carol is in the house! Here's a quick pic in a rather neutral pose:
This is actually my deluxe order from Sideshow - my regular version from PCZ (along with Punisher War Machine) should be arriving tomorrow. When that comes I'll set it up with the BL sculpt & leather jacket. BTW, I added ankle extensions which IMO makes her look the appropriate height (although she already looked as tall or taller than my BWs, Gamora, Maria Hill, Scarlet Witch, etc.). I used the ones which are the third from the left in the photo below, which fit snugly in her shoes without use of an additional ball joint (this effectively made them 1/2" extensions, but I didn't have those available). Using these raised the ball joints to the top of the shoes, allowing for greater range of motion. Note that the pegs in CM's legs seemed to be glued in place, so replacing them with longer pegs didn't appear to be an option.

She looks great posed like that Buffinator!!
Btw where did you get the ankle extensions?
Any chance we can see a standing pose with those longer pegs in? I plan to do the same with mine, and you're the first I've seen to have tried it.

I was going to ask the same thing. Need to get these for a few of the female characters, especially CM. Would be great to know!
Thanks. I just ordered another set from this place on eBay. There are a couple of others outfits in the U.S. on eBay with similar ones. OSK also carries them, but with the delays in overseas mail I opted for a domestic source.

I was going to wait until my second figure arrived, but I'll see if I can post a few later today.
Here's a quick comparison shot:
I should mention that the ball joint fit on my adapters is a bit loose. You may need to put a piece of tape or fabric in there so it's a tighter fit.

Oh cool, didn't realize there was another source for those besides OSK.
And yeah the proportions do seem better there. I always thought the lower legs seemed unnaturally short before.

I think the OSK versions are higher quality (better ball joint fit), but these other ones work OK.
I thought so as well. What's odd is that the knee joint is actually toward the bottom of the knee pads. The pad positioning (at least on mine) makes the calves seem longer than they actually are.
