"What's Wrong with the Head?": Hot Toys Criticized for Eva Makarrov Figure from \"Ballerina\"

Hot Toys will likely have to make changes to the 1/6 scale Eva Makarrov figure from the movie \"Ballerina,\" as people are actively pointing out flaws in the design. The main complaint is the discrepancy between the head sculpt and the appearance of actress Ana de Armas.

Hot Toys has unveiled a new Eva Makarrov figure from \"Ballerina.\" This is the fifth film in the \"John Wick\" franchise and a spin-off, with events taking place between the third and fourth installments of the series.

Judging by comments online, collectors did not like the head of the figure, as it does not visually resemble actress Ana de Armas very much, and people also criticized the clothing.

Most likely, Hot Toys employees will present a new version of the head sculpt in the near future, so fans of the movie \"Ballerina\" should not be upset yet.
