The head sculpt is......interesting. I think they should have learned their lesson from Hasbro. Sure, a smiling Rudd sculpt makes sense, but the execution is always a little wonky. I have yet to see a figure with a smiling sculpt that looks good. Should?ve went with the grin from the og. Everything else looks good though! So happy this is finally out

Edit: The more I look at it the more I actually like it. It looks a lot like him, it?s just the teeth that look weird. Someone said they look like horse teeth lmao

Lol, reminds me of Cult Kings Mask figure. That was an incredible sculpt though.

I could be wrong but I thought JC Hong had posted pictures of the Rudd sculpt on his IG but I think he took them down. Even he was embarrassed by the final product.
 
Terrible headsculpt criticism aside, is it me or does the paint app also seem very meh? It doesn't look realistic at all...looks very toy-ish, sorta like the Captain Marvel headsculpt...

Nope, not just you. It's one of the first things I noticed after finally tearing my eyes off the teeth.... :slap

This one is just bad. I'm generally not a fan of extreme expressions for my figures, though I do like a bit of personality (Yondu's smirk is figure perfection, IMO)....but this one....yikes.
 
I'm going to wait until this thing sells for a steep discount in a few months. Not paying full retail for this quality.
 
If Rudd approved this, I wouldn't be surprised if he's just amused by having terrible action figures. Either that, or he figured it couldn't be any worse than this: :rotfl

 
Can you imagine going into the workshop where these headsculpts are being painted en masse and seeing them all lined up by the hundreds? Nightmare fuel.

This is hilarious and terrifying! I think it?s pretty bad actually. I was already planning for just using the helmet anyway, but this is so terribly bad it?s kinda great. I?ll probably try to use the HS in some other way and am looking forward to lots of hilarious posts once ppl get this in hand. 😆
 
Yep he has deleted it. He should grill that factory for such a blunder.

Wow...that's gotta be bad when even insiders at HT decide to delete a photo promoting a product because of all the hate it's getting in the comments section! :slap

I wonder if anyone is gonna get canned over this. I don't think I've ever seen unanimous hate for something like this before...

Yeah I was going to say the paint work didn't look up to snuff..

Yes, in an earlier post I pointed out the waxiness of the face. But I'm not sure why you're comparing it to the CM sculpt - mine is a stellar representation of Brie Larson. Or are you referring to the helmeted head?

I'm referring to the BL sculpt...to me it seems waxy and fake...but hey if you're happy with it, then that's all that matters!

Do you happen to have 3.0 Ruddgate on preorder? :lol
 
Sold my civil war ant man last September in anticipation for this.
I want my civil war version back, because damn! The suit is ok, but the unmasked head is horrible. I?ll still buy it because I want an ant man but this was not worthy the wait.

Did you buy a CM figure? The BL sculpt isn't waxy at all. The only thing that's toy-ish about it is the sculpted hair, as it severely limits one's posing options. Thankfully the Endgame figure has short hair.

As for 3.0 Ruddgate yes, I ordered it from PCZ. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's one of those for which I paid my balance off early so I wouldn't be paying for a bunch of figures all at once. I always intended to pose him & Wasp with their helmets on, so (similar to Black Panther) the head sculpt doesn't bother me as much.
 
This head sculpt gives me serious video game vibes. It looks like a warped version of Nathan Drake on PS4.

No sir, don't plan on owning the CM fig...the EG CM on the other hand, I am def down to get! Unless HT ends up botching the CM 2.0 sculpt like they butchered Smiling Rudd.

I never intended on buying AM 3.0 for the headsculpt, so I still would like it, however now that the figure is receiving so much hate I hope that translates to a lot extra inventory...which inevitably translates to deep discounts. I sure as heck wouldn't mind picking one up far below retail!
