I'm also not impressed with the full-body reconstruction. With skeletal data, the musculature can be reconstructed reasonably accurately. There is an intact skeleton pictured at Wikipedia, which does not look compatible with the artist's reconstruction of the body shown in your post. The one detail that possibly resists reconstruction from the fossil data would be the skin. Unless soft tissues have been preserved (I don't know of any, but perhaps they have been), it's hard to guess what color the skin was, or how hairy they were. It's almost certain that they did not have shiny dark grey skin like that artist gave them in the pictures you posted--I've never seen skin like that on any living creature.
A reconstruction of what Neanderthals might have looked like would be a little more believable if the person doing the reconstruction demonstrated some knowledge of anatomy. Plenty of people familiar with anatomy have reconstructed Neanderthals, and several examples can be seen on Google.

Here are the reconstructionist’s qualifications, from his website:
“As an atheist and Darwinian scholar, Vendramini’s work is anchored in evidence based research and deduction, but ultimately it is his artistic imagination and scientific creativity that distinguishes his evolutionary theories.”
Look for an upcoming horror film.
