Before this is moved to character discussion - hear me out.
So here's the original Miiverse trophy:
And here's the one on the official Rayman Facebook and Twitter pages:
There are a number of differences between the models:
-His torso is shorter in the new one.
-His hoodie straps hang at a different angle.
-The two trophies are both being viewed from the same angle, but his feet are angled differently.
-The head looks completely different. He doesn't look stoned in the new model, and the model as a whole, especially the head, looks much more true to his Rayman Legends look.
-The colour scheme in the second photo looks closer to the way actual fighters are coloured.
-He doesn't look really shiny in the new one.
-New one is more zoomed out in terms of viewpoint.
This is really strange, and since this is the official Rayman Facebook/Twitter we're talking about, a Photoshop hoax is out of the question. I have looked over the pages, and they are just like any official promo page for a video game franchise.
For reference, here's what he looks like in Rayman Legends:
And I checked to see if it could be a 3DS version of the trophy, but:
The trophy stand looks too good in the new Rayman trophy image to be a 3DS trophy.
So I have two questions:
1) Could Rayman still be playable?
2) Assuming he is, is it possible that we are seeing the return of "Classic" and "Smash" trophies from Melee, with the Rayman trophy Sakurai posted being the "Classic" one, and the one the Rayman marketing pages posted being the "Smash" one?
In case you were unaware, the Classic versions of trophies looked really shiny, and outdated (in some cases), while the Smash ones used in game models of fighters:
