Wow! Looks great. So, why doesn't Hot Toys do rooted hair for characters like Thor when they do it for Black Widow? Long hair is long hair right? Why not?
Two things.
First, Women's hair is easier to do at 1/6 cause it can look dollish and its fine.
For men's hair, the best one that works is Tibetan lamb fur which emulates real human hair well, but requires meticulous method of applying in individual strands. It really is a pain and requires lots of patience. Then once finished, also requires being styled with hair products.
So longer production time and more costs.
When you use same material,as women's hair, it looks really dollish on a male 1/6 figure and it doesn't look as good.
Aci aragorn is a good example. Although I don't think they used Tibetan lamb fur, whatever they used was still almost as good, but the hair required a lot of work, To make it look at its best actually requires not only trimming the hair, but also use hair products to style the hair.
Out of the box, he looked like 80's Bon Jovi.
The other thing, there's a lot of people who also refuse to own a male figure with real hair. So quite a few loss of sales for that.
