NECA does it. I mean, their stuff isn't on the level of the customs you linked, but they're leagues better than Hasbro's offerings and they're pretty close to the same price.

I agree about the paint. When I talk to friends about collecting Star Wars in the 6 inch scale I recommend Hasbro only for troopers or characters who don't have exposed faces.

The other sad thing is that Hasbro's sculpting isn't that bad. As you can see from those pics you linked, the sculpts hold up really well if you show them a little bit of love. Problem is I don't see many people going out and literally customizing every human head they get from this line.

Another thing I think we should hammer home as a community is just how awful softgoods look on medium to low priced collectibles. Hell, even Hot Toys struggles to pull off a good look with cloth sometimes. My point is that Hasbro seems to have an obsession with throwing in as much baggy, awful looking cloth as they can on otherwise great toys and this shit needs to stop. That or someone needs to tell them that not all clothing fits like MC Hammer pants from the early 90's.
