Last I heard Duck will be out in April, which isn't terribly far away. I hope they stick to that date, it'll be the first time an engine arrives before the holidays or sometime in the fall.
Whatever errors there are on the preproduction photo, I'm sure they will all be taken care of before the actual model itself comes out.
I love the face choice too, it's a classic face that works perfectly for Duck. The funnel is the stovepipe one used from the recent series, but I don't mind it. The model looks like Duck, and that's all that matters in the end.
Bachmann's done it again. Fans ask for quality products, and they get quality products in return. The Bachmann Duck is model is a prime example of this. I'm glad I preordered my model early, and I'm looking forward to the day he comes out.
Thank you Bachmann for listening to the fans, it's appreciated by each and every one of them.
EDIT: In case anyone was curious, the face Bachmann used for Duck was actually used in Season 7 shown here:
