Hot Toys Scarlet Witch Artisan Edition - Avengers Endgame

This is one figure I think they should skip the sculpted version and allocate their time to the Artisan edition. That sculpted hair doesn’t look good and is unworkable if you want to pose her in anything but facing forward.

Hell no. Rooted hair is disgusting and choices are better for everyone.

I think that's exactly right, it's all one tone (like a cheap wig) instead of having depth. The sculpted hair actually works a touch better in that regard as it doesn't have that monotone look but as others mentioned articulation would be zero because they didn't include the Multiverse of Madness style optional blowing hair.
But even if the hair was right, she just looks way too bored to be Endgame Wanda, who's back for revenge against Thanos.
This is just another aspect of these figures that is driving me away from HT in favor of IA. I wanted IA's rooted Joker, Gandalf, Aragorn, and Harry - and was able to easily secure them all (thanks KIT). These HT Artisan figures look like they are going to be difficult to acquire and show heavy favoritism for overseas customers so many collectors in the West will have to jump through hoops of fire to get them.
They failed on the rooted hair again to me, too curly.
Between Wonder Woman, Joker, Anakin, and Wanda, Anakin is the only one that has actually look good to me, and most are still in prototype stages.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this line falls off in the next year or 2, they simply don't compare to InArt.

CW SW owner here: Happy for the news, but I guess that this Artisan thing was going to come knocking at my door sooner or later. Sounded like a real hassle.

Her bland and boring expression kills this more than anything else. Every single shot just has her looking like she's bored on the job waiting for it to be over.
You're depicting the scene where she's blood thirsty for Thanos and Hot Toys goes for this emotionless bored expression.
No, don’t use them. Plenty of personal experiences here on the board can testify to their unreliable and fraudulent business practices. Mine included. Do a quick Google search on them and you can find out more.
This woman has no ugly faces.
With rooted hair you can style it and do something about it, a lot more options than being stuck with a sculpt you can’t do anything with.
Surprised this is the 3rd Artisan figure. Really surprised.

The top is so damn thick, looks like a padded vest.

It's sad how perfectly this fits.
I see what you mean.

The figure itself looks very well done, I like the neutral expression to use for other poses.
My main issue with this Artisan line, aside from the lack of availability as it's "rare", is the lack of a second headscuplt. For what they charge and give, vs Inart which gives the second. I suppose to me as a collector I'd want that and accessories.
