Sideshow Beetlejuice (new figure?)

[Evil_Deadite]

Also, being made to eat my words now with regard to my earlier criticisms. This figure is absolutely wonderful!

Just had an attempt with the hair. The hairline it is what it is. Can’t do much about that. I’m not by any means an expert/amazing custom artist but for a first crack I’m pretty happy how I’ve managed to style the hair. Unless anyone has any welcomed feedback I might just leave it as it is as don’t think I’ll get it any better.

That looks amazing ! ! Which comes to my point about what I said about most of the earlier photos and reviewers doing a horrible job on the hair when displaying the figure. I get it... the excuse can be.. "we want to review it fairly and show you what you get out of the box". Yeah yeah.. whatever.

Opened my figure yesterday and think it is amazing. Out of the box, the un-styled hair is kinda ugly to my eyes but it is almost exactly like the prototype so Sideshow still delivered what they promised ! !

Out of the box it looked like this

It took me about 30 mins to fiddle with the hair, Just water on the finger tips, actually pulled a few strands out by accident... no biggie, not noticeable with the abundance of hair this comes with.

Trimmed some hair off the top. To my eyes, the silhouette of the head looks like a christmas tree. Few long strands of hair sticking up on the top, less hair on the corners of the dome, long hair sticking out on both sides and a mullet long hair at the bottom. In fact, essentially what Sideshow did with their sculpted hair version in terms of the hair shape.

Even the cartoon follows that hairstyle. Mullet without alot hair on top.

But also like Heath Ledger Joker.. if you obsess over the hairstyle.. well yeah it is kind of different from scene to scene so pick the one you like and try your best. The hairstyle Sideshow gave us is probably closest to the hair of the Beetlejuice Snake more then anything.
