Ok, What is going on with Haddie's (and the Dredges) Cosmetics?
I can't tell if I'm just not seeing it, but I'm fairly certain that there is ZERO difference between all 3 of Haddie's uncommon head pieces and her default head piece.
This is Haddie's default head.
This is Haddie's head for the Verdant Pendant cosmetic
This is Haddie's head for the Golden Pendant cosmetic
And this is Haddie's head for the Crimson Pendant cosmetic
I thought maybe this was just a Jane scenario, where there is like a super subtle change in makeup, but no, I see no differences between any of these pieces. No change in the necklace, no change in the hair color, no change in makeup, and no change in the color of the earrings. Nothing.
The cosmetic description for all the uncommon head pieces don't even make any sense.
The necklace isn't even APART of the head piece! Its attached to the torso cosmetic. There is no reason for the head piece descriptions to be saying they are changing the color of the pendant on the necklace, when the necklace and pendant are only changed via the torso.
I'm hoping this is just a bug, but the cosmetic descriptions are really making me feel otherwise, because the name and the descriptions just don't make any sense with context on how these cosmetics work.
That's not even the worst of it though, taking a look at all of Haddie's outfits, we can see something is clearly missing.
Notice anything? She doesn't have a single green cosmetic. This means there is NO WAY to change Haddie's hair right now, cause her only other head cosmetic is apart of a set, and the default and all 3 uncommon head pieces are the exact same. The only change you can make at the moment would be the prestige with added blood.
Haddie isn't even the only one to suffer from this problem either. Lets take a look at the Dredges outfits.
Not a single green outfit to be seen here, either.
Now, this is making me very worried. The other killer that released with no green outfits (The Artist) ended up having 2 green outfits available with Amazon Prime. Conveniently, this is the same amount each survivor and killer usually release with.
I can hold out on the Haddies head pieces being just a bug, but if I see 2 green Haddie and 2 green Dredge outfits release on Amazon prime within the coming months, I will be very disappointed with BHVR. Taking the normal amount of green cosmetics to be released with a chapter and locking them behind an Amazon Prime pay wall would be shady business tactic, and I REALLY hope that doesn't end up happening.
And yes, I did just write all this about some cosmetics. I'm aware this stuff is really small in comparison to gameplay issues, but I'm just really worried about the future of the DBD store and how cosmetics will be sold to us.
TL;DR: Haddies default head piece and her 3 uncommon head pieces are the exact same, and Haddie and the Dredge have no green outfits, which could end up being locked behind Amazon Prime at a later date.

To be fair, the Dredge cosmetic isn't part of a set, which I think is pretty damn cool. I love the weapon on it.

I'm almost certain that the missing green outfits were once again yoinked for Amazon Prime. I'm really not fond of that business practice, and wish they wouldn't poach outfits that should be available to everyone (and will now be permanently unavailable to anyone who joins the game in the future or just doesn't have this third-party service), but it's not like I can stop them.
Haddie's identical heads has to be a bug. If I had to guess, the real pieces will probably involve her highlight being a different color to match the necklace.
While we're on this topic, can I also express my irritation about Haddie's purple being yet another unjustified linked set? It's a really nice outfit, but as usual, it being a set ruins it for me and I have no interest in it now. Judging where the pants line is, it could have been split without issue, and I see zero issues involved with the hair.

Oh yeah all of the cosmetics for Dredge look amazing, I think the design team knocked it out of the park with his design and cosmetics. If Haddie's head cosmetics didn't have issues, and if they both had green cosmetics, or atleast get them down the line (not locked behind Amazon Prime), then I would be absolutely loving this chapter lol.

100% to all of this.
If the outfits do end up becoming locked behind Amazon Prime, I hope that at the very least BHVR will start releasing the prime content to the store like they do with rifts. Then at the very least I know the outfits wont be lost forever and I can actually do some creative outfit combos.
I also hope the Haddie heads are just bugged, but the descriptions and cosmetic names don't mention the hair color at all, just the necklace and its color. I'm thinking maybe the necklaces WERE supposed to be apart of the head pieces, but maybe just got connected to the torso by accident? However, I'm pretty sure all survivor neck accessories are just static objects with no physics, which the necklace does actually have, so I just cant think of a reasonable explanation on what happened here.
The sets are just getting sad at this point, I agree. Back when that cosmetic bug was in the store, the one that allowed you to mix and match items before buying them (plz make this an actual thing BHVR), I tried on all the Twins cosmetic with different pieces from the Blood and Guts outfit equipped, and didn't see a single clipping issue. Genuinely 0 clue why that outfit is a set. Haddies set I also agree on, that belt buckle seems like it would be a perfectly fine place to split the cosmetic without there being any clipping, but I guess they just wanted to keep the swimsuit in 1 piece since it would look weird mixed? Idk.

It's difficult to see, but there are teeny detail differences between the faces. The earrings, nose piercing, and lips change between the three. The ear rings are the easiest to notice: a red, a green, and a yellow. So BHVR gave us uncommon Jane heads part 2 (and both are conveniently thiccer than other survivors; they're doin' big girls dirty with these cosmetics).
But still, the cosmetics and rollout are unsatisfying. At this point, the only remotely worthwhile cosmetics are her locked set or the limited time prime and masquerade sets (heads aside, her common and uncommon tops and pants are all lackluster). By mid-july, she will only have her common, uncommon and single locked set cosmetics available. And I also cannot understand a reason for locking a cosmetic with such great pieces.
I guess they were too busy making the Dredge look so stunning

Yep, as of the new update the head cosmetics were fixed. I'm a little disappointed that they just changed the earrings and stuff when they could have done a change in the tint of her hair, but oh well lol. I am concerned about where her other green cosmetic is though. I thought they were gonna pull an artist and release both her green outfits in one month, and both of Dredges in another. However, we only got one green outfit, and the second one (which is finished and in the files) is nowhere to be seen, which sucks cause that's the color that I actually liked 😔.
