But I'm now kinda curious what makes this JG more attractive than the 'usual' one.... cause I'm someone who normally finds him kind of boring/average looking, at best. Is it just the fact that he's bearded and in a suit with the cape thingie which makes him look a bit more bulked out than usual? lol.

I should note that I was only hypothesizing... LOL And I agree -- Jake might be a good actor, but I just don't get the appeal. Then again, I suppose I'm not supposed to.

I guess all the posts regarding a JG head sculpt have been deleted. It could be a licensing issue, but at this point it may be advisable to wait before placing a PO.

Oh dear... this is the downside of having people from the company interacting on social media... I'm sure in this case they meant well, but sometimes they don't actually have much control over such things.

Yup Hot toys had to publish a little note saying that current licensing issues between them and marvel were causing that headsculpt issue... So far all their promotional posts have been taken down and the old product sheet is back...

This was a Reddit post:

"News from Hot Toys, confirmed by HT staff: Mysterio head sculpt WILL NOT be available unless they can figure out the rights for it. In that case, the head sculpt will be shipped along with the figure."

Head sculpt revealed. Looks off to me.

Looks more like this guy (James Ransome) than JG.

Or maybe they cross-bred Jake G and Paul Rudd?

Got my Mysterio in today. Very happy with this release. I liked the character as a kid and didnt mind the changes they made for MCU. Everything looks sharper it feels than the prototype as often is the case. The tailoring is tighter and details looks sharper. The dome definitely looks nice. It's glossier than the prototypes and they manage to hide the seam better with some interior painting. Also there is a piece of plastic inside that simulates a cloud or mist. I didn't realize it lit up when i preordered. Also the head sculpt was always will they or won't they for the longest time. I'm glad it's added, whether or not you feel like it looks like Jake. Cloak is wired on the base, but it feels like a super thin wire. The chestplate gold seems brighter than the rest of the armor on the body. Well those are my first impressions as I unboxed it. Also the bottom smoke pieces are a duller/darker green than the magic green triangles.

Edit: One thing that did bug me, when i swapped out the dome for headsculpt for a few pics, then attempted to swap back to the dome, the neck piece and adapter came apart. Not a big deal, but the adapter was still stuck on peg in body and was a pain to get out cause you cant get a good grip with the collar of the costume and it being partially sunk in. I had to wiggle some needle nose pliers underneath the adapter to pop it out.

I'm glad you liked it.
