New hairstyle?
« on: September 10, 2013, 09:54:16 »
Is this new?

I'm going to call it 'pudding-basin' because of that straight fringe at the back (and what my mum used to threaten to use to cut my hair when I were a nipper (dead curly back then!)  :lol:).
At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)

That's not THAT new... it's on the robo gang wonderful car, among others.

I THINK it is an updated version of the classic woman hair (the triangle cut got an update too)

I like the classic style better. The back just looks weird on this one.

Thanks, Tahra.
It looks quite like the classic female hair in side view. The 'new' male classic hair is more similar to its 1974 counterpart, makes one wonder why they redesigned it?

Well it 's a new one on me interesting not ugly but, not all that attractive for some reason. Do you mean the spiked hair which has the slgihtly longer sideswept spike in the middle and slightly swept triangles on the back? I noticed it on my F1 stlye mystery driver figure and he's the only one who has it apart from one I bought at the market I wondered about it thinkit's a nice little subtle modern touch gives him just that little bit more individuality.

Yes, those... They do not tell them apart.. the firemen from the Figures, one had the updated version, the others did not..

I like the change - for variety. But it is so.. small.. that I don't understand why it was done... The female hair makes a away BIGGER difference...

Looks like a good medieval hairstyle for a bard or such.
