Sweet lord what happened!?

 

[El Roranous]

Looks great.

 

[Bannister]

Love the paint on the glasses.

 

[Devil_666]

The thing that kills me is the crooked left eyebrow. lol.

 

[mr.fan]

[Batty]

That's great! It looks like someone punched him so hard his eyebrows moved over.

How's the beetlejuice figure? Thinking about buying it.

 

[xenoviper]

oh my god........ what happen to Neca????

wait... actually what happen to those Chinese painters!! shocking.....

 

[EVILFACE]

Beetlejuice looks pretty good.

 

[Sachiel]

Well, the prototype is a 2-up. 12" tall and painted by a professional. Shrinking loses the detail.

But still, that is pretty bad.

Beetlejuice turned out pretty good.

 

[Mesa]

That's just funny. That's what you get when you collect "action figures" and not "collectibles."

 

[El Roranous]

Any pictures of Beetlejuice?

 

[Buttmunch]

I thought Beetlejuice looked bad too in person. But it might have just been a bad figure. I saw a Stuntman Mike with "stuble" that was running out of his nose! NECA's paint quality has really gone down hill recently. Its very disapointing.

lol oh man neca is falling hard! what i want to know is what is that thing by his left ear? he looks like he has buddha ears. lol

Beetlejuice looks better than Stuntman Mike but the final face sculpt/paint is off. Looks good from a distance as you can see in the pics.

 

[choopie]

Good lord, what a mess.

I wish Sideshow would get on board with these licenses, especially Beetlejuice. I'd love a PF of him.

 

[DinoLast]

My Conan turned out ok

 

[CelticPredator]

oh my god........ what happen to Neca????

wait... actually what happen to those Chinese painters!! shocking.....

This is typical NECA. I dont know why you guys were surprised. NECA's final product is normally 10x worse then the Proto.

 

[abake]

Yeah, that stuntman is pretty poor.
However, I repaint 150 dollar figures, so repainting a 15 dollar figure is not a biggie for me.
