ToyFare has posted a scan of the cover for issue #127, featuring Claire and Sylar from Mezco’s upcoming Heroes action figure line. Click the image for a larger version.
My first impression: these appear to be as realistic and non-cartoonish as Mezco’s popular Hellboy movie line from 2004, so fans worried about a Warriors or Miami Vice redux can relax. However, Sylar’s features still look a bit exaggerated, and the Claire likeness needs a lot of work, particularly around cheekbones and the eyes. Hayden Panettiere has very distinctive eyes; if you can get them right, the rest of the likeness will fall into place.
These are almost certainly prototypes, so there’s plenty of time to work on them.

Sylar would make a good older John Connor custom base, circa T2 flashback(forward?).

This article is just an excuse to post links to Panettiere pictures, isn't it? (Not that I disapprove.)

@Esbat–True, but…also an odd observation.
@JPL–Maaaaybe…
