The same was being said prior to the release of the 1/2 scale Yoda, and boy was that wrong.

Well I had to edit this post lol. Looked at some screen shots of him and these eyes are more in line with the show puppets.

Here is the text of the newsletter SS sent to those who preordered.
Greetings,
The tracking fob indicates The Child is getting closer…
According to our official guild sources, The Child Life-Size Figure will begin shipping to customers in early November. In the coming weeks, look for a shipping update in your online account, located under your specific order.
As you await the arrival of The Child, take a look at the official final production photos below. We have also included a closer look at the art box that will protect your precious collectible cargo as it ships to you.
Expect further communication from us as we get closer to securing the asset for you.
This is the way.

They like to torture us.....
I would almost bet Howard has a watch that tells the time in years and decades, not seconds and minutes.
Looking forward to displaying this with my efx helmet and IG-11!

It?s just a bad photo. Compare it to photo #12 on the Sideshow page. It?s pretty much identical apart from the tailoring and the horrible lighting in the production photos.

Are you joking? Cant you see that the neck looks longer just because it?s not covered in clothes as in official pictures?

Bad futzing, the downfall of many a padawan collector......

There seems to be a scarf-like inner layer in the original photos that hide the awkward neck: https://www.sideshow.com/collectibles/star-wars-the-child-sideshow-collectibles-400369
But in the production photos, it looks as if the cloak only has a single outer layer - they took the worst angle to take a photo too, instead of the cute child we saw in the original pictures, it almost looks like a watered gremlin

100% is the same sculpt. So the neck issue is definitely a matter of cloth futzing.
Excited to carry this little guy around once I finish my Mando costume build. Finished all of my soft parts. My armor and Anovos helmet are currently being repainted with Alumaluster. But I dropped it all together in Photoshop to get a sense of what it'll look like once everything is combined.

That'll be awesome! Wouldn't the Hot Toys Life Size be an easier "carry around". I didn't order the HT because I'm fine with the statue aspect of the Sideshow.

It probably would be easier to carry the HT version around. But I'm a stickler for likenesses, and I think HT missed the mark. At least from what we've seen so far. The SSC version looks much more accurate.
Plus I may mod my statues so that I can pose him

No disagreement and the other reason I went with the SSC version. I was a bit miffed at the ear seam on the HT as well... Looking forward to seeing the build progress. Are you active on The Dented Helmet? I'm starting a ROTJ Fett build and have been scouring that forum for tips...

Agreed! That seam is terrible.
I love ROTJ Boba. That's actually a build I was hoping to do down the line.
I am on the Dented Helmet, my handle is FoxHound1984
