They really did go nuts with GSC Hitagi's bangs. It's great for showing movements but loses some appeal when I look at it normally. Anyway, I got curious and tried to see how Alter Hitagi looks like. It's seriously good and on par with GSC's Hitagi but I can't say which one's really better outright. I personally really like Alter's version but there's no color on the sample so who knows if it'll be many times better when it's done. A comment on the figure reads that her face isn't too faithful to the original design. The color might solve that problem. But I was still incredibly surprised at the prototype. Not sure if it's because they added a background piece or cause of the overall feel but I'd love to get it even if I'm not a big fan of her character.
I also took a second look at Alter Saten. I'm a little sad cause there probably won't be any more releases for her. She's one of the few characters I'd want a figure of but I can't consider trying to get it unless my opinion changes. It's a shame her iconic outfit is her school uniform too. It looks okay but she never really did wear anything particularly amazing in the show.
