I´m sorry but I don´t see improvements. There is only the difference between solid hand-painted prototypes and production samples made of vinyl.

Jacks face is thinner in the factory sample so it looks more like Mat Fox. Miles face is shaped a little different as well.
I just want to be on the record as saying I really dig this line and my earlier comments are not meant as criticism of what BBP has created. it was just my observations.Comment

Jack is a HUGE improvement, but still long way off. And so is Sawyer. Show these 2 sculpts to 10 people without the suit and without telling they're characters from Lost and you'll be lucky if one of those 10 people knows who these are.
I really don't get it, there are so many great sculptors out there, why mess around with an amateur? Plenty of people here who could do a better job. Judging from other lines it shouldn't be that hard to get a better likeness, all you need is a better sculptor"...The agony of my soul found vent in one loud, long and final scream of despair..." - Edgar Allan PoeComment

If I'm not mistaken---and please, someone who knows the facts feel free to correct me---the sample heads we are seeing are made from the original sculpt in the prototype photo--they are not refining the sculpt at this stage. The thing has been tooled, but I think there's a certain amount of variation or distortion that's happening when it gets made. That was really apparent in Jacob (stretched neck, facial detail lost) and I think that's what's been more or less corrected . Also, comparing proto to vinyl--we are seeing detail that comes out in the vinyl that gets lost in a painted resin head, so Jack for instance looks a lot better, but I think it's still the same sculpt.This profile is no longer active.Comment

is the Kate head plugged like the mail heads? I have not opened mine but looking at it there does not appear to be a neck stem like Mego used and it looks like it is plugged into the torsoComment

Sayid surfaced today!
I think I like the paintjob on the proto better, these eyebrows are a bit heavy, maybe?
