The problem with SS doing SW is that they will do one great figure and then followed by three or four mediocre or sucky ones. Basically, they have more missed than hit with their SW line. The only few they really did right were Yoda, Vader, and Old Ben. Everything else is just product that never live up to their full potential.
And the big head syndrome. SS has been doing SW for like how long and they couldn't even get the size of the head right.
I agree Sideshow have been doing this line for a while now, so it's only natural in a line so vast to have hits and misses. They have been improving over the years, look at the Stormtrooper Luke sculpt to earlier versions of Luke. But the same may be able to be applied to Hot Toys too, looking at some of their earlier sculpts. Both companies are improving over time IMHO.
