Wow! That took a while. Glad you finally got her — though I’m still disappointed that this was the beginning of HT’s backward move toward sculpted hair on their female figures.

I hope you realize you could just hit the edit button and add to the post you've already posted.

(But I can see why some would prefer the rooted/faux hair.) Hmm, I think I would’ve liked to have seen swap out hair pieces, perhaps one in a wind-swept look and another more action oriented.

Even though I personally prefer 'real' hair in every possible circumstance, I also know that it is probably always going to be more of a niche customiser thing rather than something available on all mass-produced figures. Sometimes it is 'laziness' on the part of the company, but it is also sometimes simply due to practicality. Real hair (whether synthetic or natural fibers) is harder to maintain and to keep styled properly. It needs 'touch up's now and again. And a lot of people who collect Hot Toys are just that -- collectors. They want something that is going to look good all the time and they can just display under some LED lights and that's that. Whereas a lot of us here on this forum are perhaps a little more involved in the customising side of things, hence why we might prefer real hair. Some customisers value realism over the practicality of display. I'm one of those customisers myself, but I also 'get' why some people might not feel the same way.

Well said! Exactly! We all have our preferences, likes and tolerances For myself, I’m mostly a relaxed collector. Hats off to you and all who go through customizing, I imagine it’s tedious yet rewarding.

Yeah, there are multiple ways to approach this hobby, and they all have their merits. There's isn't one right or wrong way to go about it. There are some figures that even I wouldn't bother with re-hairing because it would just take too much maintence to keep them looking nice.

Congrats!
I am 'still' waiting for mine to ship, which it will do some day?
From the pictures i have seen, i sense Hot Toys altered the portrait slightly to look more like previous figures. I really like the prototype portrait, which i think looks great, although some complained that it looked not enough like GG, which probably explains why Hot Toys tweaked it slightly.

The first thing i did was remove the tiara, wanted to see how much Gal is in the sculpt.
I don't mind the sculpted hair, but like my usual rant, hair should be darker!
I'd really like to swap the heads, put the tiara on the Golden Armor head but I'm afraid of messing up the nice out-of-the-box hair.
rollotomasi wrote:Yes there's only 1 WW84 figure.
Techically my first HT WW is the Golden Armor so I was just stating that this WW84 is my first WW in "classic" red & gold armor
since I intentionally passed on the BVS, JL & Comics Concept versions.

Diana wrote:Oh she's beautiful! Her skin seems very smooth compared to the WW in Training Armour I once had. That body looked amazing with beautiful texture, but was super stiff and no fun to pose. I would trade it skin texture for joy in articulation any time.
