The second pic is very cool. He has some great poses. The legs seem a little stuff though. The knees were switched from double joints to ball joints. Oh well. Still awsome. Nice to see him posed differently. That prototype that is show all the time is posed standing statically.

I love the way he poses and the expression. Makes me want to buy him, i haven't been THAT impressed with the pictures we've seen before (until now) although i have thought it looks good. My opinion has changed a lot seeing this. It's interesting they auction these kinda high profile protos before the actual product goes on sale, guess it makes the auction all the more exclusive, i bet the price for this goes sky high.

I've kinda thought the paint isn't quite right on the painted Sweetums protos we've seen but i think they nailed the sculpt. Same with Phil Van Neuter actually. The concept and character on that was lost on the wierd industrial paint and choice of accessories.
