Actually, someone started a petition as soon as the prototype pics hit. They didn't listen then so . . .

Holy moly, what a sloppy BJ!! 
and for $260? yikes.
So the sculpt was not a surprise (even he seems to be shocked how he turned out) but the tailoring looks poor and paint looks poor as well not matching between hands and face and neck. Give him a floppy body and you've got a Run Home figure.

Re: 1/6 SSC Beetlejuice figure
I'm not defending this thing but those aren't the best pictures either. Sideshow makes figures at the 150.00-180.00 point but they just don't realize it.

I know those aren't the most flattering pictures. A little futzing could make this figure look half way decent. However, when you start asking at the higher end of market price be prepared to take some criticism. I know manufacturing cost only go up, but don't let that be the excuse for the higher price and then deliver a subpar figure. Better pictures will show up, but some of the issues in those initial pics can't be fixed with just futzing.

I didn't pre-order this, but thought I might after seeing some in hand pics...... in case the costume was worth it. I've been holding onto a Caine custom head for awhile. I'll be selling that now!
I remember when sideshow figures were around £40-£60 and they were still better than this.
The sad thing is so many of us love the film and wanted better what we got was this.
The sculptor should be ashamed and so should sideshow. It's their loss because we'll end up buying bootlegs for a fraction until they go out of business.

You can't see the neck or the hand in those pictures to suggest the paint doesn't match the face

The paint and sculpt match the prototype. I don't see any noticeable drop in those areas like their Indiana Jones, Snake Plissken, Nathan Drake, and Luke Skywalker.
The tailoring might just need futzing like lowering the collar to show the neck, but we'll see if that's the case when more pics are posted. One six scale suits are always challenging for mass production figures.
Overall, it's the expression that hurts the figure, but I'm sure those who don't mind it will buy the figure. Maybe SSC will pull a HT and release a tuxedo version with the right expression.

Was reposting SS's own pics really necessary? Hasn't this release already suffered enough?
Their wolverine appears to be good but that's about it

That's the prototype though.
Sideshow says they are production photos...

If that's the case, then the outfit and paint apps look pretty good for a final product. The outfit on the recent photos just need futzing then. The hands could be whiter though, but the color could vary depending on the lighting. Thanks for the info

lol@$300 head sculpts
How does this even apply in this case?
I'm confused. If they were prototype pics, the mismatched face, hands and neck paint would be dismissed as just proto images, but as production photos they look pretty good?
The clothing and paint don't look good, imo. Regardless, those SS studio glamor shots are the best this will ever look. The previous in hand pics are likely much more representative of what one paid $260 for.
