That stiff richards video is not the new version Beto Pennywise. Is stiff richards telling people this? If so that is very misleading to Beto's customers. Judging from this video it looks a bit questionable with regards to Beto and Lu's standards of quality. The older costume design clothing look authentic but those headsculpts look very poor quality for Beto standards, like a very rough cast and that is definately not a signature Beto Matali "finish" or paintwork especially not for 2013-2014. I'm not sure where he got those headsculpts to be honest, after watching that video it looks kind of suspect. I hope it wasn't a pricey acqusition for him because it's very flawed. If you compare it to Dark Passenger, Commtech's, Darthmagnus's or mine it looks quite different quality wise. I hope some of the original owners can chime in on this with their perspective, maybe stiff richards can explain as well.
Best case scenario is that it could be a very early test sculpt because that isn't somthing Beto released painted that way. Pennywise was not offered officially as a full figure by Beto originally. Those very few full figures in existence were special request build-ups.
Also, this is not meant to be an offensive critique of that figure. I realize that some collectors are very sensitive to how their collections are viewed and it turns an honest discussion or debate into a drama fest. Let's avoid that.
It's important that certain details be questioned, scrutinized or nitpicked from figures that look oddly off from the originals in order to maintain the integrity of what the Custom Artist originally intended on when he or she presented their offering. I'd rather help collectors with honest straightforward and accurate info, in areas I'm familiar with, so that they know exactly what it is that they are paying for. I'm a collector so I wouldn't want it any other way.
