I really don't think the hair is too short. If you look at the figure and this scene from the film from (0:06-0:12...or the whole scene) , his hair was long on the back and "short"/ shorter in the front. The figure has long hair on the back like the Loki figure.

it's just that the shortness hurts the likeness in the front view.

I wonder how many people are going to make Joker customs out of this figure.

How long would it usually take SS to put a figure up for pre-order after an announcement? I'm unfamiliar with their procedure.
They'll put it in the newsletter like last time

the very outer lines of the lips and the''clown lines'' should be darker as black makeup was applied .the mouth will turn purple-ish with time/moisture.(that comes from a womans view 
).and judging from the facepaint of the figure it's a early scene as his face is very white.that's what i'm saying
pause the video on the previous page at 1.24-1.26.kind of shows it.

The mouth was always more of a reddish/purple color.
Wow... you can really see the scar in that photo.
This is a big misconception. The character IS called "The Crow!"
Gotta love Hot Toys "correcting" a non-existent "error."

It's been quite some time since I read the graphic novel, but I think that's the only time he, or any character who is brought back, is referenced directly as "The Crow". While it's not incorrect either way, since "The Crow" could then refer to a slew of different people, it seems to make sense to go by the actual character's name. Plus if you REALLY want to nitpick, Hot Toys' reference is not the graphic novel.
I don't use the stand anyway, so I don't really care

Im of the mind it should say "Eric Draven" personally.

As long as the figure looks great and we get it on time,and not 3 months late, the stand/nameplate could say, The Joker ( Crow version) and I'll Still buy it

I'm pretty sure the fact that James O'Barr created the character trumps anything else. That pic I posted is from the original comic.
And there's nothing anywhere that contradicts it. Just because there's no cheesy "in life I was Eric but in death I'm The Crow!" dialogue in the movie that beats you over the head with it doesn't mean anything.
It's just one of those annoying bits of trivia know-it-alls like to trot out to sound superior, as if to say "amateurs, a real fan knows the title actually refers to the bird!"
Except it doesn't.

Again, the figure is from the movie, not the comic. If you go to IDMB, the name of the character is Eric Draven, not The Crow. However, what about the film credits? Do they say Eric Draven/The Crow...or just Eric Draven? I haven't seen the film in a few years. So if the credits say Brandon Lee as The Crow, THEN that's the name of the character
Where did that rule come from? Nowhere, that's where.
Have you ever seen a movie where Supeman is credited as Superman/Clark Kent/Kal El? No. That doesn't mean all 3 aren't equally valid.
And the difference is, I'm not saying his name ISN'T "Eric Draven." I'm saying the people who say the character isn't called "The Crow" are wrong. Because they are. Undeniably.

It's not a rule, it's just the way the film industry works. The script says the name of the character in bold black letters and then that's the name you usually see in the film's credits. I should know.
