If I understand correctly, "The Hag's Puppets" is the older of the two and that's probably why it is much cheaper on Amazon. Is it still worth buying or should I get "Swamp Hag"?

The differences other than aesthetics:

-The older set has 1st ed cards, so you'd need the newer deck to use them.
-The older set doesn't have her voodoo doll, but does come with some as scenic accessories that I've seen people convert to a "model"

Personally, I love the newer aesthetic, which is enough for me, but that's most of it.

Also. The key feature is that the newer box zoraida doesnt have her fething tits out.

Actually, she looks like an old man- they overcompensated and has a practically concave chest...

Gross Zoraida boobs sold me on the game!

I'd get the newer set, but still pick up the metal master. In general, that is my advise for every set. In general, the new plastic ones lack any personality, as they use the same copay/paste head for every figure with zero facial expression. There are a few exceptions, like McMourning.

Funny story, the topless Mama Z was Wyrd's direct response to fans complaining that the women weren't sexy enough.

And the plastic molding is apparently what causes the issues with facial detail (this is from their first plastic producer, Wargames Factory). the new models though (Shenlong's box, Miss Anne Thrope, and such) are getting a lot better.

That's awesome! I loved that it conveyed that Zoraida just cant be assed to put on a shirt and doesnt care if that makes people uncomfortable. Besides, YOU came to HER hut city slicker!
I do wish they had more female body types though.

Yeah, the new models are also supposed to be not be in a billion pieces. I havent built any in a while, but I ordered the Dark Carnival from Gen Con, so will get to see how they rack up, But part of it is they just re-use the same face on renders. This was especially noticable when I was assembling the through the breach females, but still applies to other models. Plastic Lillith in particular was a disappointment with just zero emotion conveyed in the face (also not helped by the weird pose).

I feel like they have a very diverse range of female body types (which is probably why Wyrd seems to rope in so many more female gamers at official events).

We have Perdita, Colette, and Lady J on one end of the spectrum, then Ironsides, Molly, Kirai, and Zoraida on the other side with lots in between. And they're all written into very strong roles (especially Molly/Kirai as of Crossroads and Perdita, Taelor, Tara, and Karina as of Shifting Loyalties.
