I concede that we are all collecting dolls. I'm not hung up on the idea of having dolls on my shelf. But having said that, yeah, plastic hair would be preferable to me, and would make me more inclined to buy a figure. Just my preference, so I wish HT would go that route. Yes, you would reduce articulation, but the "real" hair is just too much. Not necessarily that it reminds me of Barbie, but like I said before, it makes it another kind of toy somehow that I don't like. Maybe I am too hung up on it, but it is a pretty major issue for me personally. I really hope Sideshow doesn't go that route with female GI Joes, or there is a better than fair chance that I will pass on them.
I don't have the Machiko, and I don't know much about it, so I can't comment on that.
Fair enough man! I do totally get where you are coming from.
I'm on the fence.
I think I'm gonna watch this space and see if they will make any changes.
I can't help but think that if indeed her body was improved upon and the mouth closed, the hair may not bother as many folks.
I think it's the combo of both hair and sex doll looking lips is not helping with how folks view her.
