Yeah, the HT sculpt won’t be replaced. 3rd party sculpts are good for a custom figure. I’m not mad at that.
Actually, to be honest, I never liked the HT sculpt when I saw it. Held off getting the HT John Wick for the looooongest time, because of the sculpt. Got him at Sideshow, not long before he sold out (1st release). But in person I came to like the figure (& the sculpt). So my thinking is that, if I like that Vimal sculpt right away from the pics, then I might like it quite a bit more in person. Maybe better than the HT in person? I guess I’ll see.
