I love Beetlejuice and was seriously considering this, but $280?
I get the cost of the rooted hair...but Sideshow needs to understand that - try as they might - they aren't Hot Toys. I'd be concerned about how well the hair turns out IRL. I think this is their first (or one of the first) foray into rooted hair. IMO they don't have the record of quality (yet), and their offerings are nowhere near as robust for the same price as Hot Toys.
This figure lists 11 hands (really? eleven? ) but you wouldn't even know that unless you read the "What's in the Box section because they can't be bothered to post an image of everything you get. Such a missed opportunity - no Beetlejuice headstone accessory/base or alternate portraits? The Beetlejuice character was such an wildly expressive character a single portrait doesn't seem to do him justice - especially at this price. Sacrifice some of those hands for something with more value.
A pretty big disappointment for me, but no shade on those who find the value here - I'm glad it exists. I just hope it doesn't sour future opportunities from Hot Toys or 3rd parties if it doesn't sell well. It will be interesting to see how the first reviews turn out. Maybe I'll snag it later if the price drops to 200ish or below.

It does look like Michael Keaton. A lot. That's the main reason I said this looks better than Sideshow's first Beetlejuice.
That's a seriously impressive likeness.

I liked Sideshow's original Beetlejuice a lot more than most people but never picked it up. If this turns out significantly better, I may have to grab it.
