Just so you know, HT sculpt will be held at a higher standard of scrutiny than any other custom sculpt out there. A custom sculpt only needs to get the approval of the person who sculpted it or the 20 person who bought it.
With HT, the sculpt has to actually gets the approval of the actor themselves or the studio representing the license. In order words, it will have to go through the highest level of scrutiny before being approved for release to the general public.
Sure, sometimes the sculpt might seem a little more idealize than we prefer but that's really the actor being a bit vain and ask the sculptor to make them younger or thinner, etc, etc.
How is it fair when HT gets a lot of flack for being slightly off while customs get praised for being very off? Don't even get me started on the iminime Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt, Alfred, and Agent Smith. They are still quite off but everyone is praising them. If it was HT producing these sculpts, people will be matching to the factory to burn it down.
Most importantly, my point is, any sculpt that HT makes has to go through the approval of the person they are sculpting or someone representing them. When the customs out there has to go through the same level of scrutiny as HT, only then we should talk about being fair.
As of now, customs or unlicensed stuff gets a lot of free pass.
