I've seen some mentions of the Iron Man headsculpt - what is the issue about it? Sorry I am not across the Marvel releases so not sure where to see it.

The Tony Stark headsculpt that shipped with the Endgame Mk 85 was not well received. It looks more like a Tony Stark cosplayer than Robert Downey Jr.
It was not acceptable for a figure that costs what it does. Especially for a character as important to the MCU as Iron Man, in a very significant movie, that is his last appearance (for now).
They’ve never fully nailed RDJ’s likeness, but this was an unacceptable step backwards for many. Especially compared to the Mk 46/47 headsculpt, which is probably the strongest though your preference may vary.
There was enough backlash and rage from people on social media and both threats of and actual cancellations that Hot Toys - in a decidedly rare and perhaps unprecedented move - said they would exchange the headsculpt for customers and change them out moving forward.
Ultimately licensor approval could be blamed, but an angry online mob formed and they unfortunately went on the offensive and attacked people. It was ugly.
Regarding that licensor approval, they did not approve Ewan Kenobi prototype and demanded modifications, but approved that Tony Stark headsculpt?
