Sideshow Beetlejuice (new figure?)

[hokietwo]

I bought a custom head years ago for this, the sideshow body and outfit are doodoo. I hope they do some improvement on the cloths, I’m going to sell the old one to pay toward the new one. It’s too good of a head to sit on such a bad base.

The display base is never an issue for me, I replace all my stock bases with Stoney Stands.

Love the film and the character but not enough to shell out $280 for it. I'll try to pick it up on sale if it's still around but I doubt it will be.

Way too many people ready to throw $280 at SS for this which is just insane to me. But I just refuse to pay msrp for any SS figure.

I was willing to throw $280 just because I’m a fan of the character and missed out the last time. A gamble because it’s a Sideshow figure admittedly.

Same - I love the character and am willing to pay slightly more for it, would I prefer a more affordable option with more accessories and add-ons?
Of course!
But this is the old game in town that isnt a crazy expensive custom or the utter piece of **** OG Sideshow figure.... which is also somehow crazy expensive.

Is it actually going to be rooted or is that just a rug of fur they superglued to the back/top of his head?

Have SS every done rooted hair before?

This....I can answer this right now....it's gonna be a cut piece of moleskin glued in shoddy fashion to poorly painted head, with a serious drop of in details, on a loose body that will be incorrect color and size.....
Ok guys? This is Sideshow,....

Remember Grevious and 3pO and Jason, and all those guys?

 

[Wor-Gar]

Once this movie comes out, there will be many more choices out there. Maybe even HT and... InArt.

Very nice

He comes with almost nothing for display options. The price is reasonable i guess, but i feel like even at $280 he should include more stuff. Not sure to be honest what more he should come with though. Kinda not sure if i pull the trigger on this or not.

Main thing I could think of is the tombstone. That could have been included as a diorama base instead of the dumb hexagon base that Sideshow always insists on using.

Otherwise I agree- it’s not as though Beetlejuice really had a lot of things that he used in the movie that would make good accessories.

Can someone with editing skills show what the new headsculpt would look like with the sculpted hair from the first release?

I feel like without some futzing, its just going to look like Bobcat Goldthwait in the 80s

 

[Evil_Deadite]

I personally have no issues with SS figures, however, I only have one (The Dude) so I can’t compare too much but it’s one of my favorites out of the collection so I have faith with this 2.0 release.

I looove that stand! Where did you find it?

 

[karamazov80]

Have they ever done real hair before? And did they protect that?

They have, and they didn't, but it was so long ago that I'm sure this has no bearing at all on what they would do with this guy.

Whars the size?

"Dimensions: 9"H x 5"W x 2"D"

Here is a photo I found:

Looks more like 7" high to me, but. . .

All my bases are custom made to order by Stoney Stands via IG, real good stuff. He also has some already made including the rug at his eBay store.

Ordered from AE with a $100 Rewards code. Justifiable for $201 shipped.

Alter Ego Comics? Thinking of POing with them, they’re great and they don’t charge taxes for my state.

 

[Gipetto0812]

Most of My POs have been with AEC for the last couple of years unless I'm late at ordering something and they're sold out. They're CS is top notch, don't charge tax for me either and they double box figures.

Yes, and their reward program is pretty good. I had 16,000 points with them before using 5000 on Beet. Seems like the points added up pretty quickly.

 

[BoricuaHec01]

Exactly! I only ordered Robocop 3 through them and was blown away with their CS especially when I had to request for an Auto 9 replacement. Told myself I would PO with them only going forward. And just saw they send out 1250 points ($25) for your bday every year and mines next month so hopefully Beetle can hang tight.

Yep, and the owner, Marc, seems like a real good dude.

Beetlejuice looks to be on a platform....might actually be 9" but still can't tell. Not bad, only 15 if you want to give it a shot.
