Yeah, the HT boots are very Hasbro. Not sure what went wrong there. With some work the SSC boots look much better. The fig on left is heavily modded SSC with cast of HT snowie helmet. On right is stock HT.
The snowie on the left in this pic is a custom figure that has hybird boots - the uppers are cast from SSC, the lowers from HT.
The main negatives on the two snowies:
HT - boots are a cheap Hasbro-level sculpt with very unconvincing paint, red chest armor "buttons" are too big, figure is short (and oddly proportioned with stubby legs and slightly long arms,) pants are a bit yellow (but a few snowies are close to this yellow - they vary onscreen)
SSC - chest armor a bit too flattened, helmet terrible in every way, hands oversized, forearm armor oversized, "skirt" is a bit short
Overall in comparing both to the costume up close, what's a little frustrating is some of the SSC pieces are slightly too big while some of the HT pieces are slightly too small - for example the backpack, and the "belly button" belt greeblie.
