For a while I owned a Pillman figure where the hair sat up way too high. It always bugged me because it didn't quite look like Pillman. I recently bought a new Pillman head that I like much better. The hair sits lower on his forehead, and to my surprise this Pillman has a 5:00 shadow. When I compared it to my original Pillman head, I noticed that not only was the hair up too high, but he lacks the stubble on his face. Was this a running change or a variant? Maybe I just got an unfinished Pillman head? Curious how other people's Pillman heads look.  |

Looks like Pillman with von Erich hair.
I was hoping we'd get a new headscan for Flyin Brian, but Mattel stuck with the same one. Never thought this looked like him.

That picture looks quite surreal with disembodied Pillman heads. I never saw any at retail that didn't have facial hair to my knowledge.

I think the second one might be modded.

Looks like a custom head to me I wish I could get a closer pic of the beard. I thought the same thing when I first saw it. But it's definitely not painted on stubble. The paint is like it was done by Mattel, not acrylic or by hand. |

i bought a bunch of new unopened pillmans and they all were different in terms of paint wash on hair and face for the beard and in terms of where the hair was glued.
ive got 2 diesels too...both have the hair glued down in separate spots

Don't recall ever seeing the stubble version before. Unless someone finds a packaged example I'm thinking it's a custom paintjob. I'm wrong apparently.

I have 2 pillmans loose a bearded and a non bearded. I purchased both new in packaging so I'm assuming there's a variant there although mine the hair is identical

I've never seen the bearded version. Makes the figure look better.

I just checked mine, I have the bearded one. The clean shaven one looks weird to me.

All the Brian Pillmans I saw on eBay both loose and MOC DONT have beards and their hair is higher in the front just like the head on the left in the picture. Haven't spotted one with stubble

It's possible but I wouldn't buy another one for a different hairdo

It's probably a custom

That is clearly the same face and hair in both pictures. One is just glued higher and the other lower. Also one has a beard painted on and the other doesn't.
My Pillman looks like a combination of the two. The hair is lower, but he barely has any beard at all. Just a very light stubble.

Haven't seen it in ages but I feel like my Pillman figure has ginger stubble.
