The hair was sculpted to be more like when he meets up with Vader.
And Jabba's Palace first encounter IMO
I can only think why they added the teeth to diversify because both Bespin and ANH Luke had closed mouths

I would be nice to have a post vader beatdown hair style.
Or any of the hair styles in the Jabba scenes. That hair makes you think there must be a deleted scene where he carefully combs his hair before going off to meet Dad.

On the topic of the hair style, unfortunately in this movie, there are a number of variations to how his hair looked at any given point. What Hot Toys has elected to do, and most toy companies have, is capture what could be considered the most representative look. A lot of promo shots and moments in the film are relatively like this hair style. Because it's a "summary", there will certainly be folks who aren't happy with the choice.
It's definitely not my top choice, I liked what Sideshow chose for their 1/6 figure better, but for what HT is representing, it's very well executed.
Regarding the topic of people getting the figure in hand and changing their opinion, that is only natural.
How a camera interprets things and how the human eye does are very different. There have been numerous times when I'm shooting collectibles that I look at it with my eye and feel like I've got a great shot, then I get behind the camera and no matter what I do, I can't get a photo that captures what I saw with my eye. You're also looking at a 2D representation vs the 3D object. It's not possible to replicate the experience of seeing something face to face through a photo. You can show it off and do creative things, but they are two wholly different experiences.
The challenge on us as collectors is training our eyes to anticipate the in hand experience from photos, judge whether we feel what we thing a piece will be like in hand meets our wishes and order based on that. It's not a perfect science so sometimes you'll get disappointed and sometimes it'll work out just as expected.
Pretty close.

I hate to be one of those people that complain about dolls, and I didn't even notice it until I saw this side by side, but his eyes are kind of dark in the proto pics, could just be lighting.That's a 9.5 outa 10 sculpt if there ever was one.

Not really shocking, Hot Toys knows that if they make two figures they'll both sell, makes them more money than charging a little bit more for more accessories on one figure.
Absolutely shocking move on Hot Toys part, charging full price for a cloak and different head-sculpt
