That looks very good QGF, and perfect hat placement.

I was totally in your camp, Anx10us... But with this figure, the beard is front and center, and the head hair is largely under the hat and swept back so as only to be an accent to to total sculpt. It actually works VERY well - and I was surprised.
For other characters that don't benefit from an ever present (or predominantly present) hat, results may vary. I remain concerned about the overall look of Hagrid for instance where both hair and beard are in your face...

100% agree and it's your pictures that have made me reevaluate. You're right - it doesn't look half as bad with the hair swept back and under his hat.

Awesome pics QuiGonFishing! 
Love how he has turned out, that sculpt is just excellent - really looking forward to adding him to the collection now!

So the rings are actually two separately sculpted rings that can be added to any of the hands. Weird, but, really, really, nice.
Any way I can get a pick of the headsculpt with no hat? I want to have him battle Voldemort, and I think I may go hatless (yes, I know, wrong Dumbledore, but this IS him to me).
Also, I'm really impressed with the hand sculpt. The original pics had standard hands, but it seems they went all out with veins and stuff for the final sculpt, and I love it when companies do that for older figs.
I'm just so ready to buy this.

This is a must have. Great photos QGF
Quick question: how tall is he in relation to Voldemort and Snape?

The instructions indicate you can use "hair wax" to shape the hair and tame the fly aways. He's right out of the box here.
Height compare (Volde is not on his stand, however)
The figure is just an absolute gem...

Thanks QGF! These are great figures together. Star Ace did a Yeomans job on these.
Much better QuiGon! I'm sorry I ever doubted you.
Awesome pics!
That's one of the best shots I've seen of Snape, as far as likeness goes.

QuiGon, this is awesome. You are awesome. I shall purchase hair wax.
Seriously though, this thing looks like the best figure I've ever seen out of this license. I loved Hermione, but this... with the robes and all.
I'm so happy.

That's MASTER QuiGon, please...
I know you never doubted me, that would by folly.
Glad you like the pics, I think Snape actually turned out great. Never quite understood the generally negative r eviews of the sculpt. That said, I honestly don't own too many figure that stand up to this Dumbledore. He's really special.
I think that it looks better in hand but the major problems I have with it are that it looks just a bit off with the likeness, and mostly that it's missing his signature dour expression. Snape wasn't a very happy or pleasant fellow. He just looks a bit sad to me.
Star Ace brought this on themselves by releasing so many amazing likenesses for the other characters.
The deluxe version is sold out on BBTS and waitlisted on Sideshow's site.

Yeah, I just added myself to the waitlist, though I doubt I'll get in. WHY DIDN'T I PREORDER YESTERDAY?
Anyway, it's beautiful, so I'm not surprised.

I didn't even see the waitlist availability on the site? How do you get on the waitlist? I ended up ordering Hagrid instead of Dumbledore this month as I couldn't get both.................and then the Deluxe Dumbledore goes on waitlist, and I can't even find the waitlist option on SIdeshow's site. What am I missing.

I can't find the Deluxe Dumbledore's page even from the product archive...
