You can always buy a "cheap" one (if lucky) and order a pro repaint.
I was thinking about sending my "old" one to elmen if this head would have been the same that the first one.

More comparison pics.
Clear and distinct improvement IMHO. Especially on the regular head. Obviously these close-up shots point out all the flaws in the paint apps but given most statues are viewed from a few feet away these new heads look great to me. Very pleased with how these turned out. Glad I didn't send mine back.
Other than the hair being noticeably darker on both new heads I also noticed a change in the sculpt of the exclusive headband. Compare the 2 shots and you'll see the old headband curved upwards a little bit more.

Congrats Scott! Your regular head looks really good (especially considering it's blown up to 5x the normal size). I'm guessing she looks pretty perfect in person.
The EX is still kinda a disappointment to me.

Thanks Ryan.
I agree about the exclusive still being a disappointment. Even though the eyes look significantly better I just can't get past the headband and hair. Oh well, I can live with it considering I wasn't planning on displaying it anyway.
I'm just glad to be putting this whole fiasco behind me and coming away with a piece that, while not perfect, is something that I can certainly live with.

Sorry i don't see much of a difference, looks like they just darkened up the eye liner and slightly corrected the eye positions. Lips still look globbed on.

Well, like I said its far from perfect but I think the differences are definitely there. The eyebrows are more consistent. The eyeshadow is indeed darker but more importantly it doesn't look like it was applied with a Sharpie anymore. The lipstick lines are also more consistent as is the overall shade. From normal viewing distance it looks fine but zoomed in you're obviously going to see it's shortcomings but I think that can be said for the majority of statues to some degree.

Hey Scott, can you take a normal distance (non zoomed) pic of the new regular head on her body?
