Re: Which MCU female character you want Hot Toys to make next?
I actually wish all medium-length hair (and longer) were rooted, male or female... as long as it's straight/wavy. It gives you more pose flexibility, and the layering of the hair avoids a plastic bucket head look (for lack of a better term). To this day, I can't stand the unmasked Winter Soldier head because, from the front, it looks like he has a big brown helmet over his head where his hair should be.
As for Lady Sif, it was in the custom section, which has since been deleted. If I recall, it was a closed run that was nearly complete, but I'd reach out to woodrob for more information (he ran that project).
My guess is it'll be rooted, and she'll probably come with a dynamic stand that will allow her to "fly." The one issue with doing sculpted hair for characters with longer hair (that they don't wear pulled back in a ponytail or braided, like the Wasp) is that some dynamic poses might not make a whole lot of sense. For example, I have the Civil War Black Widow that has been maneuvered to do a kick mid-air. Having rooted hair allowed me to move it around in a way that made the pose look more dynamic/less static. If her hair was rooted and just flat against her back, the pose would look a little ridiculous. Captain Marvel's hair appears to be longer than Black Widow's in Infinity War, and she had rooted hair - so rooted hair is probably the way it'll go.
In other news...I swear someone on here was doing a custom Lady Sif, but I cannot for the life of me find the thread...can someone please point me in the right direction?
