I ask because on your one close up, it kind of looks like he has whiskers sculpted into the face. It might just be the way the light is hitting it. I'm hopping it's just a paint indicator.
    By close examination, the texture of the mustache appears to come from the paint applied and not the sculpt.

      Thanks Jason! I'll just paint one on my extra khaki Steve then. If there isn't anything more to it than that, then I don't need to bother with an exchange. I'm already ordering different outfits to put Steve in that 70's mode. The only thing I do wish they would have done is extend Big Foot's arms, when they extended his legs. Having longer legs means his arms look a tad too short. But it's still very cool to have this character in 8 inch format after all this time. My grandson had a kick with these figures last night, so I will have to order more.

        Thank you Jason for the awesome pics!
        I love that they put the chest hair on Steve!
        He always had his shirt open like that!
        I was only going to get Khaki Steve, but now I will have to get Red Suit Steve now that I have seen the clear bionic limbs.
        I wish they all had them. I guess if each figure is a little different, they hope you will buy all 3 Steves.
        I am glad that the Khaki shirt has longer sleeves also.
        The swivel bicep arms are longer than regular Megos so it needs longer sleeves.
        You can see that the jogging suit sleeves are a little short.
        I really like all of the figures though!

                  It's tempting to add that little sticker, silly as it seems.

                      Bigfoot's design is an interesting way to get around his height and build. Using a Hulk-like torso and extending the legs at the ankle is a good way to go without producing an entirely new body.

                      I just wish BBP would drop the waxy pale look. It just doesn't fit the Mego vibe.

                        The way they did Big Foot reminds me of the 12" Jaws from Moonraker, they gave him regular arms and legs but a hulk torso,

                          Not 50/50. Mustache version is a chase variant.

                                Ahh, now the BBP confirmed it's the mold I hope I didn't cause you to ruin one of your Steves. Man, it's really hard to tell it's part of the mold, but I'll go with what BBP says. They would know.

                                It's a cool variant and hopefully they come through with more mustache Steves later in the line.
