So I got my Spirit in from BBTS today. I'd heard and read complaints about his head sculpt from the moment pics of him first surfaced and each and every time an updated one or a new prototype or new hi-res or official or carded pic or whatever was released I thought "Looks fine to me." So when I got mine today I thought "What in the heck went wrong?!"
So I was wondering how the rest of the heads of him looked because mine really does look like one of those you get and you think "Oh dang it...this one got botched at the factory or came off the line wrong because it really doesn't look like it was supposed to be that way, like something happened to the plastic that shouldn't have. So are they all the ones you have IN HAND like that or did something really go wrong with mine? |

Mine looks bad. The bottom of his face has a raised edge that goes all the way around. Might've been cool if he had a beard (Breaker would've been cool with this), but it makes him look deformed.
And mine had a red dot in between his eyes that I had to scratch off. I suppose I got the 'Indian' indian variant. Overall, to me it's one of the worst figures yet. |

I agree, my Spirit just looks bad (sad)! Had it not been for the nostalgia and completist tendencies I have, I would not have purchased that one.

I like it. I always thought the old one looked like Duke's very tan hippie cousin. It may not be perfect but I get what they were going for, and at least he's got different face than Breaker Case or Grundt-Slash.
If you think yours looks too sad, he probably just witnessed someone littering on the highway. P.S. it was very difficult to combine Grunt, Grand-Slam and Flash into a humerus name, so please respect the toll put upon my brain to come up with that one. |

Somebody on here said that Spirit looks like Willie Nelson, and I think that's dead on.

I've got that raised edge along his jaw line as well, it almost looks like an uncolored chin strap beard, strange.
