I never pay more than $2 for head.

Same facial expression:

Mate, you don't need to be offensive to express the fact you don't like our products.. It's not nice for a company like us that try to keep contact with the customer spending time posting on a forum and sharing opinions with you...

Anyway..
If you like the kind of body and don't like the head

1 - You can always buy the headless version or put on it an Hot toys head
2 - If you don't like the body either, but you really need this kind of body (so a big guy) you can buy a similar body from Hot toys on Ebay at 90$

I think the sculpt may be throwing some of you without context and costume.. put that sculpt on a figure dressed like Conan or a gladiator or even a vampire and I dare you to say it doesn't work.

Thank you mate.. Actually this is what we had in mind when we made it..
Make something "different"
Anyway I can suggest also use on Wrestlers, or even Modern Mercenaries or why not some Mafia Grunt

I already pre ordered some caucasian Heroik bodies, so it's good to see an AA Heroik body. I don't see them up for pre order yet, but I plan on pre ordering when I see it

Thanks for giving us an alternative option, other than buying a HT body for the prices they are going for now

Mate, thank you for the expression lesson.. but as you know not all the face are identical.. We copied this expression from a picture of the Actor where we got inspiration.. and actually he hasn't the upper eyelid lifts up etc.etc.

The expression for me and many others just doesn't work. You can easily find a picture of a subject with mediocre expression but that doesn't make for the best sculpt. I'm sure it's accurate, but just doesn't convey what I believe you were going for. It just needs a bit of anger to work.

And I also really like heads that convey a little emotion. If you ever get around to making a traditional Greek Hoplite in a Corinthian, I hope you do give the head sculpt some emotional character. Preferably angry with teeth showing, gritted together. The Greek and Roman figures I have look pretty boring thanks to expressionless head sculpts.

Apologies for the off-topic post but..

God love her, she looks like something from The Walking Dead...

Fabio, is there any chance this head will be released at some point? IMO, it resembles Jason Mamoa quite a bit and I was really hoping to acquire it with the figure to make a Conan custom. If I need to buy it separately, I would, if it were available.

I'm sorry if you found my post offensive, but I don't sugarcoat anything and it's far from an inaccurate comparison. I think the body will be a phenomenal inclusion into the realm of 1/6 customizing and overgenerous as far as the pricing is concerned, but when making the decision to do a head like that, especially aimed at a high-end market, I can't really fathom where someone would've said, "Yup, looks great! Go with it!"

That said, you're reading more into a post that was mainly playful banter with a freak I've shared a dialogue with for many years now, than is there.

He has said that the headsculpt you linked will be used on a different figure.

Correct, we will use for upcoming projects.
So you have to wait a bit

Mate, I honestly think our company produce only high quality heads.
Maybe the picture we posted doesn't give justice at our new head (probalby would be a good idea post the same head looking by different angles) or maybe is also linked to "out of contest" picture.. Dress it as a wrestler, or as a warrior (gladiators?), or just dress it as a mercenary fighter (or even use for a Vampire or Warewolf) and you will see that you can see this headsculpt to a totally different light

Thanks for the response, both Fabio and hoodonit00. I don't know how I missed that. That's excellent news!

Also, the "screaming" head looked a great deal like Gil-galad from The Lord of the Rings films, to me.

I was looking forward to the caucasian Heroik body with HS when I thought it was going to come with that first short-haired head, but now after seeing the HS that it will come with I will not be pre-ordering it. I'll probably just pre-order the headless version and use a different head on it. Still gonna order the AA version for sure though. I was looking to make a DC Atom-Smasher custom with the caucasian Heroik but the long hair and open mouth aren't what I'm looking for. I do appreciate expressive head-sculpts and I wish more companies would offer them, even as an additional portrait along with the usual passive portrait. That's usually my only complaint with my Sideshow figs, my Sideshow Maul looks weird in an action pose with that calm expression. Either way, I applaud KP for making an extreme expression HS and I hope they keep it up, unfortunately this one just isn't for me. Maybe the next one?

I said the same thing about the screaming head sculpt looking like Gil Galad
a couple days ago on OSW.

Hey there Fabio, any updated pix for these figs?

I just pre-ordered 1 of the screaming, 1 of the AA and 1 of the headless bodies too. I might cancel the screaming head version I pre-ordered but not quite sure yet. I have to say that the AA version looks incredibly good. Some people might say it doesn't quite look enough like whatshisname, but that's not what I was looking for so it works out great for me. Thanks again KP for making these figs and at such a good price.
