Overall good rig. A few issues though. It would be nice if the face controls panes were not polys or were grouped somehow to be easily hidden for playblasting. Also, the clavicles seem to be rotating the shoulders- hard to get any shrug type motion with them.
Thanks for a good rig. I found a problem so thought to let you know. When I scale the character wrist IK does not work well, so when I rotate the wrist (twist motion) hand flips in IK.
I have seen many top notch animation done using this rig. It is very capable and has an advanced facial setup, well deserving the recognition! The author has also wrote an auto-rigging script "called Rig-O-Matic" that can be found right here, I highly recommend people checking that out as well.
You have to compensate for the constraints using the hip controls. I like this rig. The character is extremely funny and the rig has a lot of good controls. I guess knee constraints should be implemented regarding my comment above. 'd also like to see a lipsynch control too. The facial setup for the eyebrows are also a bit hard to use. It would be better if you separated them.
