After seeing the idols on eBay, and coming close to bidding once or twice, I ultimately bowed out because they just didn't look right to me. I would always reference back to that same image, from 'Raiders', and the "real" one always looked perfect.

The conclusions that I came to are perfectly illustrated in your side-by-side comparison shot. To me, the movie idol's head appeared much bigger than the eBay ones, taking up about 3/4 of the total size, whereas the eBay's take up MAYBE 2/3 of the overall size of the idol. The mouths also looked WAY wrong on the eBay idols, with down-curling corners, compared to the more oval-ish movie idol's.

Also, the heads on the eBay idols do appear to be tilted back more, and the detail on the hair in back is awful and ameteurish.
