User blog:BeaNOwl/Prototype Models VS. Finished Models

I'm curious. What would you guys have prefered? Do you think MGA made the right move in how they assemble the Lalaloopsy large dolls? By glueing the separate hair molds into their missing craniums? (Lalaloopsy dolls only have a face, their craniums are completely hollow and missing). The con with this is - the glue drips and is very messy, and if not cleaned properly it will harden into permanent drip marks on the doll and it's just tacky.

Whereas they could have release the dolls using their prototype models, exactly how the Littles are created, the head and hair are one entire mold and each doll gets their hair spray painted on. The pro to this is, no messy glue marks, and no chance of the hair dislodging from the head leaving "gaps" in their skulls. The con however is, if you've noticed how the Littles get if handled carelessly, their paint chips away and you see can see their flesh tone underneath their hair.

So which version do you think makes more sense? Clearly MGA prefers the face mold + hair mold formula, but somehow prefer painted hair for their Littles line. Comments please.
