Old head is more movie accurate, and I prefer it.

I like both heads about the same.
I don't like either of them.

These are some screen caps from the movie, for comparisson.
With the battle mask.
A side shot of the head showing the ears:
I think the original head looks closer to the movie version. The premium is more accurate with the long ears, but the head isn't round enough or big enough to be in scale with the ears like in that second photo. I think the original is more accurate, and I also prefer it over the premium.

The new head seems a little small plus it looks like it's looking down. But JP Premium is very shiny...
Movie accurate or not, I think I like the old head more too.

The shine is nice. I've still yet to open my Leader Prime. I tend to forget his box is buried under a pile of stuff... for nearly a year now.

I know (and I'm a little surprised now realising how long it's been sitting there unopen) I just never got around to opening it and it slowly got buried in the landfill that is my bedroom. I have an open Nightwatch Prime. Now however I might sell my MISB Leader Prime and go for a Premium one.

Nooooo! It's not easter!
Just pass LCZ your premium and he'll give it all the "shine" you want. I hope to soon in the future.
