Yeah i am thinking that HT and rooted hair is just not something they are going to master no matter how many times they do it. Just too many qc issues to deal with. That time would be better spent further improving paint work and sculpted hair.
I wish it looked as good as a paid custom, but I am perfectly happy with the figure for the price, it really does look like a little Heath on the shelf, by far their best sculpt to date.
The hair on the sculpted version is pretty incredible, I think the best sculpted hair we've seen on a ledger joker figure. Sometimes looks better than the rooted imo
