There's this one:

Post by: cowabounga on July 27, 2013, 20:21:56: The wizard seems different to me, Tahra. It was my first guess, too, but I wonder if this beard really exists, Cheng?
Ah! If only Panos would read this thread, he would know, I'm sure.

It's the closest I remember... that guy doesn't seem original to me...

I can't think of another one which approaches Cheng's image... (of the klicky-face).

If you zoom in on the picture Cheng linked, the "goatee" (colloquial name in Canada for the type of beard shown) was added with a computer drawing program (you can see the pixelisation around the edges that is incompatible with the pixelation on the rest of the image).

Post by: cowabounga on July 28, 2013, 11:33:53: Of course! Well spotted Wesley! I didn't even bother to zoom in. It's obvious then!
Title: Re: which klickies have such printed beards?
Post by: Hadoque on July 28, 2013, 13:27:18: I thought Cheng knew it was not an original face, but was looking for an original that would come as close as possible.

What's obvious?

The pics on the site are not final products - some have very poorly applied stickers instead of the printing too..

Post by: cowabounga on July 28, 2013, 18:40:44: It's obvious it's computer made. I know Geobra sometimes use stickers for the previews, and even on the faces, but not computer modified faces, do they?

sorry and thank you, my playmofriends!!
I had a very busy weekend and very surprised to see so much help here :love:

I actually simplily drew the goatee (thanks WM!) using PAINT because I couldnt remember where I saw this head and dont have a photographic memory.

And BINGO! Tahra, this is the one I sort of remembered (maybe somebody used this head for a custom, I just cant remember where...but I definitely wasnt referring to any other.)

but, sadly, a special?! :'( and with colours and clothes I definitely cant use, it'll be foolish for me to buy even one)....and since its not common, I'm sure you'll want to keep it yourselves.

so comes my last hopeful question;
does this head come on any other more common klicky? :'(

I wish there's another way to render this, maybe with stamping....drawing with a marker pn would need fantastically steady hands.....maybe I'll try to spray since I'll be desperate sooner or later

Post by: Wesley Myers on July 29, 2013, 03:02:05: I wonder if someone posted a question on the PCC what the part number for the head would be, if the company would actually divulge that information?

They should - because it is a collector community question and that type of thing should be a service the PCC would be able and, especially, willing, to provide.

Post by: cheng on July 29, 2013, 03:18:21: as for me, I'm not too hopeful they will oblidge and even if they do tell us, I doubt the german ds will pack it for me (like the white 'judoka' belt)
Title: Re: which klickies have such printed beards?
Post by: cheng on August 06, 2013, 06:08:24: thanks again Tahra....now it looks like I will have to buy this
and also apologize to Geobra....this goatee & eyes are accurately "Asian"!
