Hot Toys just announced they are redesigning the head sculpt. I am absolutely stunned that they listened to us. This win belongs entirely to the community that pointed out why this detail mattered so much.

kindly want to ask Hot Toys http://www.hottoys.com.hk/ to work again on the action figures head and correct it to look close to the original face of the actor, Tom Hiddleston.

The first Loki action figure,http://www.hottoys.com.hk/productDetail.php?productID=21 , had a nearly perfect face, sporting the trademark cheeks bones, the smile and eyes of Mr Hiddleston. The new action figure lacks all those features.
Please take us serious and correct the head, Hot Toys-Team
yours truly,
the many fans of Loki Laufeyson.

Please do something about this figure, its no where near your usual standards Hot Toys! The head is too large - looks more like Grima from LotR than Loki, the head is to wide, the body is too bulky and it doesnt come with enough extras to warrant the price hike! Avengers Loki was perfect, with a bit more work there is no reason why this one cant be either!
I regret not getting the first Loki figure, and I hoped they would make a The Dark World version. When I saw the add it felt like a wish granted! but then I saw it and... well it seems so fake. At this price I don't want a "action figure quality".
I think the head sculpt looks to much like Malekith on Loki's body the face is to hard Tom Hiddleston is baby faced so Loki needs some softer facial features. also if you read the comics he is androgynous (male and female) so he is pretty like a woman.
You made him look kind of creepily aged and the brow doesn't look right to me. Maybe you imagined an eviller Loki, but that's just not how he looks. The rest of the costume is love. Devoted fans are among us and we adore nuances-- if we're going to pay a high sum for something like this, we want it to feel right because we can tell it's not.
This new face would be perfect on a Christopher Eccleston action figure, but it looks only vaguely-if-you-squint-and-are-drunk like Tom Hiddleston.
This is a horrible head sculpt. Please fix it asap!

As a current owner of a Avengers Thor and Loki Hottoys Doll, I do find that the sculpt for the new Thor 2 Loki Hot toy is inaccurate. The head looks a little inflated. There is little cheek bone definition and his chin is rounded, which is very unlike the character. The likeness is off and I am definitely in favour of changing this.
