Yes very true. I believe there is an option to purchase a wheelie walker accessory also if need be.

They will be a dust collector. Unlike sculpted hair, it may be difficult to address the dust while maintaining the integrity of the hair.
That's the biggest drawback that I see. If you keep it in an airtight enclosure, or clean often, it may not be an issue.

Fall out: if one is constantly messing with, I am sure it would eventually fall out. But if one treats this as a delicate collectible, it should last.
Fade: I would be more concerned for the fabric fading then the dyes in the hair. Keep away from sunlight and fluorescent bulbs.
Hold: High humidity is probably the biggest threat here just like real hair. But given the small scale, humidity plus gravity will have less of an effect. I would be more concerned with life-sized statues/bust with complex hairdos.

Well I preordered this from Sugo about 5-6 hours ago, anyone else?
The post count for this thread on the other forum is crazy. During peak times it almost seems like every minute there’s a new post. At last count there’s almost 2,400 posts!

I seriously considered these figures.. if you are going to pick them up, the rooted-hair is the only way to go. Fact is, the price is too high. I do not see the point of the twin pack, as the two figures look near identical, bar the base difference and one is wearing a purple coat.
I think Hot Toys has a new Heather Ledger in the works. I think i will hold out to see how that one works out. Besides, i have the Queen Studios (sculpted hair) 1/4 piece of pre_order.
I will be interesting to know how many figures sold, and how the production pieces turn out.
