The lower lip looks a bit strange, but the eyes aren't googly.

I got my replacement head today. Pretty surprised how quick the replacement came. The hair sculpt is definitely better at the top.

Though the peg did not fit into the body. I had to warm the the bottom a bit with a hair dryer to get the peg down. Once I got the peg down, I noticed the head was still loose as the peg was too thin (thinner than the other head's) and was rocking back and forth. I ended up using blu tak to get the head to stay in sturdy.

Kind of a hassle, but I'm glad at least the hair looks better now.

Eyes are fine.

And I noticed on a few statues shown that they didn't fully paint the bottom lip. Strange. Those are pretty, full lips that deserve nice painting.

Yep, it's very odd.

lower lip tends to catch more light than upper so will need a lighter shade of paint or what looks incomplete
