When I first bought this Civil war custer and was looking at him in the box, I thought it was the same head sculpt as the little bighorn western figure except for the longer hair in the back. However, after having both figures side by side on display, I must state that they are two completly different head sculpts by Matt Falls. The forehead, nose, cheekbones mushtash are all different. I think Matt must have started from scratch again when he did this one instead of making altertions on the original. With that in mind, I must state that the Civil War version of Custer is without a doubt Matt Falls best by far likeness to the real Custer. When I look at it I can see Custer in every detail of the face. With the Little Big Horn one I can only state that it bears a passing resemblance to Custer but not exact. The Civil war one is in fact an exact likeness to the general in every detail. With the practice of doing the first one, Matt must have been able to fix some of the things that went wrong on the first one and the result is amazing! Actually, now that I look at it, I thing the finished product looks more like Custer than did the prototype for the Civil War Custer head sculpt offered in the ads on the site.
