Dude I'm sorry but this hair root is utter **** on so many of them, ridiculously long Tommy Wiseau looking ahh

And I thought InArt's QC was bad...

Yup! Like I said previously, it's unforgivable. The saving grace for me is that I like the majority of this figure, but still sucks to be in a similar position as I was with the InArt heads needing to have the hair redone. HT fumbled the ball on the hair for this as much as InArt has on other releases when it comes to the hair.

Based on a lot of the (vocal) feedback, it seems like Hot Toys may have been a bit overly ambitious with this project. I'm optimistic that they (and their factory) will figure out how to deliver the intended quality to customers, eventually. But for now, with this project, it seems like the growing pains hurt.

I wonder how many will have wished they'd ordered the sculpted version instead.

The sculpt needs shadow to look its best.

The more the merrier.

Heavy light on those teeth do it no favors.

I can see why they've pushed back the Artisan Anakin. If that figure comes out and the hair is a mess, the blowback will be insane. There's no reason a limited figure should have issues like we're seeing here.

The rooting looks really good on mine.......and then the disappointment of a massive chip in the paint right on the nose. I was really excited for this release. Damn....

I am actually waiting for a replacement head for the imposter joker with rooted hair. Same issue on the nose it's wierd

Curious if your imposter has the noticeable hairline issue?
Hadn't heard any mention of the hairline issue when the imposters were being delivered and talked about.

Here is the HT Artisan display figure. Looks like a direct hair root to scalp. How can they show this, then go ahead and send out these half baked hair lines??

Agreed. Heavy shadow. Like, lights off darkness.

Loving mine, only had him out the box for half an hour but I think it’s great.
No regrets selling the Inart version.
Biggest gripe so far is the lack of clenched fists for him but otherwise it looks amazing on the shelf

Yep. Rooted hair still isn't ready for prime time imo. Which is why I still avoid it at all costs. For every good one you see, there's fifty more that don't look that great. Crazy to what degree the differences can be. I applaud anyone who just enjoys futzing with rooted hair, just not really my idea of a good time though, idk.
