The figure just seems kind of phoned in, as if NECA just wanted to make a famous character they did not care about while they had a deal with Valve. Or maybe it was something Valve wanted them to make.

Me: @NECA_TOYS What made you guys decide to go for a more realistic take on Gordon Freeman?

Good eye on the differences in the suit. I noticed long ago about the face being more of a realization of Gordan Freeman than a recreation of Gordon Freeman.

I enjoy the figure, but I suggested a future release with a game-accurate head would be cool. However, now knowing that about the collar, I'd be interested to know what else is inaccurate.
