I think its much better. & I know I'm "on an island" here, but I really dislike most rooted hair head sculpts. Very much prefer sculpted hair, but I know most collectors nowadays prefer rooted.
Personal experience was great years ago with TW. Recently, say the last 2 years or so, I've had I think 5 or 6 purchases never shipped or refunded. Pure run around from them. Seems like I'm just s**t outta luck with em. Thousands lost, but never again.
Comic Sanctorum & Toys Wonderland have straight up stolen so much money from me. Items shipped that never show or the "refund" from Comic Sanc that claims to send...BS companies.
I dig the figure & ordered it, but yes, Dean seems to shill a bit. I like his vids, but there are cons with this fig @ that price that will need attention for those who pick this up, myself included. Not a masterpiece, but cool tho.
