eeeeehhh. its a bigger issue than you think. Sure, clothing, no big deal but what do they do about the mask? is it cloth? Which even with HT could look bad with sculpted hair underneath, or is it just a sculpted mask? What do you do about his changing face pattern or do you just pick one and make it the only option?
Biggest issue, probably the one issue why he was not done... he's so small he'd need a completely new body and they'd have no reason to market that body "slimer, shorter true type" who on earth else would you use that for?. Maaaaaybe he could have gotten away with the slim as it's a bit shorter but i'd wager it's not accurate enough.
every time HT does a new body they find a way to justify the tooling costs..
MJ Billie Jean - marketed as the slim tt
MJ Thriller - slim african american tt
Silken Floss - Silk Spectre and the female tt
Wolvierine - Comedian
They were using sure bet moneymakers like Wolverine and MJ to go all out with tooling costs and seeing what mileage they could get with the sculpt on something less of a big seller like they did with Comedian.
