Realistically, is there any better way of getting the devs' attention on this issue? I am happy to submit a bug report if that's the only way to do it - hundreds of upvotes across the various threads on this show that this is an issue for a lot of people.
What are you guys talking about?
He looks fine to me:

Not sure why they changed his model from the HW one to begin with. That one was perfection.
He resembles Midlander 1 because that is the model he's using -- and has always used. In the game's files, it's differentiated largely because he uses unique textures. This is how his ARR appearance (and I believe his appearance in ShB and beyond, since I'm pretty sure he reverted to the same default diffuse map by then), barring his Archon mark, is entirely replicable in the character creator.
The model was identical; it was just a different diffuse map. And hairstyle, of course lol.
Why did they change the models so much...
As someone who's had a Thancred alt for several years, I can confirm 100% that you could not replicate him in the character creator in SHB/EW. His model does have noticeable differences to the sculpt (the OP is correct) and while he's based on the Midlander 1 face, he is impossible to replicate due to these differences (mainly around the nose and lips area, as well as darker shadows around his eyes).
The hairstyle is 100% the same as the character creator one, though.
We've just had a response from the dev team on the thread about character changes! So I hope that Thancred might get a look-in, considering a post about him in the JP thread got well over 100 upvotes. Fingers crossed this is acknowleged, and if it is not, I'll definitely keep pushing on this one!
There was an announcement from the management about a graphic update, but for some reason the answer was only about the player character. There was no answer regarding NPC, so I don't know if Thancred will be fixed. I don't have much hope for whether there will be any separate announcements regarding NPC (Thancred) in the future. What do you all think?
Whats even better, Thancred still has his old face(the better face) in MSQ roulette Praetorium when he's Lahabrea.
Maybe Thancred having his unique features removed is an omen of things to come...
