This is actually a better looking figure than I expected from the title. Thanks for the fair review as always.
And regarding the hair... I agree that the best bet would be to re-hair it with tibetan lamb hair in a more accurate colour and/or blend of colours. Because of the natural texture of the lamb hair, it would actually help with a more screen-accurate look, as well.
The source many of us here on this forum get lamb hair is the site 'MoreZMore', or via their ebay store. Of course, you could always have it professionally re-haired, but it can be much more affordable to do it oneself. Plus, this hairstyle seems like it would be fairly simple to replace, since at least with this figure it already has a space for the hair and you wouldn't have to carve the plastic hair off it. All you'd have to do is probably cut the original hair off the head, and then glue the lamb hair down in its place. Also, the hairstyle is such that it wouldn't require hugely elaborate techniques. Since it doesn't even need a center parting, for instance, it makes the process even more straightforward. If the back of the head/scalp with the rooted factory hair comes off or is a separate piece, that would make it even easier, but it's still pretty doable even if not.
Heck, I'd even offer to do it for you, but I'm located in the UK and the current situation in the world might make that a little impractical at the moment.
