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.
