All the blame can't be placed on the sculptor though. I assume he at least has some type of supervisor or an art director or something.Last edited by CrimsonGhost; Jun 18, '17, 9:32 PM.Expectation is the death of discovery.Comment

So, I was thinking to myself, "Oh, great, again with the 'outsized head' issue. When are these haters going to give it a rest?"
Then, I looked at Brainiac...OH GOOD GOD! That nogging is HUGE!
Bummer, too. I was really looking forward to getting this figure, but now...."...You can capture the Klingon & bring him back to the Enterprise!"Comment

I'm wondering if these sculpts were not worked on in the order they were released. Perhaps Brainiac and the Luthor in the lab coat were done at the same time years ago since they seem so similar.

Only FTC and maybe some insiders know for sure. But this came out so much later than the original Lex Luthor, I don't think FTC would just sit on them for as long as they did without releasing something, even an Early Bird version.Comment

just compare them, its the same head redeco-ed and it has the same size issueYou must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

That's the disturbing part. You know it was a bad sculpt to begin with, yet, you decide to re-use it anyway?

It's hard to say, but they announced and showed protos for Scarecrow in April 2014 and that figure wasn't released until March of 2016, if my research is right. Same with Ras Al Ghul I believe. I don't feel it's out of the question.Expectation is the death of discovery.Comment

Not the same head, but certainly the same sculptor and most likely made at the same time.Comment

its the same sculpt altered, brows eyes and nose are the same. The Luthor head is stamped 14 on the back, too. There are even some of the same sculpt lines where the nose meets the brow. I am not going to spend 60 bucks to study them up close.You must try to generate happiness within yourself.

I see what you're saying. The Suited Luthor is certainly Brainiac, but the one from lilbros thread is vastly different. It looks like they took the Suited Luthor proto and altered it into Brainiac for marketing pics. But what explains the difference in retail versions?Comment
