I did think it unusual that the sculpt was round and full when Tom was rather ill and gaunt much of that season. And rarely smiled at all.
There was (and probably will be again) a "serious head with hat"
Fascinating development. The Delgado Master head was sold too. It really feels quite disturbing in many ways, because so many people lost so much money on pre-orders (myself included).
