I believe those may be the 2-ups, which look slightly better. The closest thing we've seen to production figures can be seen in the 2nd and 3rd rows of this gallery:

I think Mattel does a good job of translating the 2-ups to production, but they do lose some quality with the paint job. It's inevitable when your talking about painting tens of thousands of action figures.
