Its so hardly noticable. Granted, the figure looks more like his filecard pic, seeing how the original figure looks nothing like it, but they should have made his beard much darker, and with a mustache. They go through all the trouble making his bubble gum, but cant get his 'stache right....
I can only pray they gave Wild Bill his..........better get them pics soon.

I think they tried to go with a 5 o'clock shadow because it looks that way on the card art (I wish it was a full beard )

I think a full beard would have been cool but I don't really have an issue with the whole 5 o'clock shadow look, as it's something that we don't see often on a figure.

I like it because I prefer the comic look, where he didn't have a beard. With the shadow, it's not really noticeable. I understand the desire to have him look like the original figure, but the bubble gum makes me think of the character as he looked in those early comics.

I kinda wish he had a full and sculpted beard as well. But that would've only made his head look that much larger so...

I think it was a compromise between the fun, bubble-gum blowing clean shaving Comic Book look and the older, full-beard look of the cartoon.
Better than outright annoying one camp of devotees (although clearly the comic look is better). |
