Isn't Keaton like 70+ now? Geez...
Guess you get more for your buck when you dont pay enormous licensing fees…
I unironically think this head sculpt is really excellently executed.Friggin love this! I actually really love the fact we can now also have the tombstone, something I didn't expect hot toys Todo.
Question now is will sideshow one be worth keeping? Cool that you get 2 rooted sculpts also though I don't know if I will use the eye popping one.
Wow. They did it. Well... kind of.
HT is like 3 for 3 on these creepy ass smiling sculpts. Ant-Man, Goblin, now this one.
So, now a figure doesn't have to be Artisan label to have wool/rooted hair just like a figure no longer has to be a DX to have moving eyes. That was short lived At least this comes with the tombstone that Sideshow was charging $125 for separately at the time of the V1
Looks like a quality, fun figure, but not much Keaton in that sculpt. The new Sideshow V2 has more Keaton in it. I dig the accessories on this though.
Agree, decisions decisions - but no doubt this is the better "bang for your buck" package.Well crap.. question now is do I cancel my pre-order of the Sideshow figure and get this one instead? Seems like this is a far better package. Curious what the price will be but regardless it’ll probably be worth it considering all the Sideshow figure has is the book and the one hand with the nail file.
Looks pretty great. The suit is a HUGE improvement(what were Sideshow thinking??) and the rooted hair looks perfect I probably won't pick this up but its great for people who have been waiting a long time for him classic or notThey did it.... they actually did it!!!

Not gonna lie... in my heart I thought it would be cosbabies or nothing.....
Pity its not the classic film look
But.
Well hot damn!
This is a complete package of a figure especially compared to the Sideshow offering.
It actually comes with the gravestone which is sorely lacking in the SS figure.
And two rooted wool hair sculpts!
Damn
Thoughts on this compared to the Sideshow:
- for 40 GBP more the Hot Toys version comes with the Tombstone, another whole headsculpt, actual wool hair instead of synthetic hair, and a whole bunch of accessories while the SS only comes with the figure and thats it.
- Hot Toys clothing looks far more weathered and grungy, better tailoring with not as unintentionally ugly stitch lines
- Hot Toys paint apps are, IMO, superior and the hair looks better on the HT
- SS is based on the Classic film and look, whereas HT is the new film
- SS has a much stronger Keaton likeness
- because the HT is based on the new film Beetlejuice doesn't have his combat boots or the detailed tie unlike the SS
- SS hands match rest of skin colour, HT hands are inexplicably flesh toned.

But yeah.... this is now a really hard decision regarding the SS version.
At least the creepy smile is appropriate for Beetlejuice and Goblin?
The label is becoming a little arbitrary but I'm not gonna complain about getting two wool rooted heads for not artisan figure prices
Yep, value wise this is a miles better package than the SS Beetlejuice either V1 or V2 just by having the Tombstone + some other accessories and 2 sculpts.
Gotta agree with you about the likeness though, not seen the new movie so maybe it does resemble him in the source material but what I'm seeing doesn't look that much like him IRL, not like him at all from the first film, and not a strong resemblance to the promo materials I've seen of him for the new film.
Agree, decisions decisions - but no doubt this is the better "bang for your buck" package.
Instant pre order for me! Shocked at the price, good times330 you're getting your money's worth.
I do t understand how sideshows was so pricey but just came with hands and a book.

$330 for this BJ is a great deal.
