I can't figure it out. It's like an amateur fig custom on etsy.

Is that Slash? What is it?????? Couldn't be slash right? If it is......I can't even critique it if I can't figure it out.

I think the Leatherhead may have undergone some improvements, but it still looks like its pretending to be NECA quality.

Here's the thing, NECA will probably figure everything out and make it all better before release. They seem like the kind of dudes that don't give an F when showing off a 1st or 2nd prototype of a figure. When an event comes, if it's not quite ready, who cares, show it because the event is now. People then respond with likes and dislikes. They make mods. Poof, super cool figure by launch.
I respect that.

But if they don't improve it....balls. Only a few people commented on the designs or desire to own them. That's a sign.

The Slash figure shown off is how he appeared in the 80’s cartoon. I was never fond of how he looked in the cartoon compared to other iterations of him with crazy sharp teeth and a black bandana, but in terms of his cartoon appearance NECA is basically spot on.

The one shown back at SDCC 2017 is how he looked in the video game hence the subtle pixelated paint job on that figure, plus the Leatherhead shown then too.

As for what was shown off at the fan event, those figures actually look close to production the only difference is that they are less vibrant than their arcade counterparts, as they should be.
