To be fair, that is <$40 figure, it's not high end. Just unfortunate, because the sculpt was fantastic.

That looks like a cosbaby pinhead lol. Look at the size of those pins. Wrong on so many levels. Unfortunate for people who had this on preorder.

 

[fosing]

100%

Was never really of the opinion that we would get anything as good as the prototype figure for the price they were going to sell these at.

The promo picture looked great aside from pin length, but this looks like a below average 6 inch action figure. I can see most, if not all, the pre-orders being cancelled.

I can't even believe this is true. This has to be the absolute worst prototype to production piece in collectibles history!

I couldn't help laughing seeing these two back to back. Goes from freaky and realistic to comical and cutesy.

when I saw it at comic con I knew something was seriously off lmao

Canceled the mezco figure. Sadly, it had the better likeness until now. Oh well.

Same here, shame because the other Mezco figures i own are great..

 

[Thainitty]

I still think the 3z pinhead looks great.....I mean it's unfortunate that I'll have to wait probably 2 years to get him but still, looks great to me

 

[Theokan]

Mezco just had to butcher the head to match the rest of the body lol.

those pins went to railroad spikes.....

 

[galactiboy]

I figure a drop in quality for most figures, but this really is far beyond anything I would have expected. And it's sad because even if the underlying sculpt had been left alone maybe it would have been salvageable. But giant spikes on a crummy sculpt isn't doing anybody any favors.

Guess it will be 3A all the way.

 

[Mike86]

Of all the horror characters Pinhead has always creeped me out. I can't even watch the Hellraiser films and I generally like horror films. Particularly ones made in the eighties.

 

[Reinhardt]

Wow, that is horrendous now.

 

[galactiboy]

I really wish the 3A Pinhead had a non-snarling sculpt; it looks good as-is, but I prefer a more stoic look for him.

 

[karamazov80]

Yeah, I'm with you. It's one of the interesting juxtapositions of Pinhead, that the pursuit of the extremes of pain and pleasure are what leads people to him, and what led to his creation in the first place, yet he is very rational and intelligent in his dealings. And those are defining traits of his. . .though changes throughout the series as it because wackier and less interesting may make this expression more appropriate.

 

[Fishzilla]

Are we sure that is how the Medco looks now, that's hard to believe, it's not even close to how it looks before
