Have any Borg ever been seen with any hair? Be it facial or head hair? (with the exception of 7of9 and other similar "De-Assimilated" characters).

Also has a Hirogen Borg ever been seen?

No Hirogen borg, and as far as I know - no 'hirsuite' borg. I don't know about Locutus/Picard if that actually shaved off the rest of his hair.

I think Locutus still had hair.

They did make a toy of an Hirogen Borg, but I don't think we've seen one on screen. Klingon, yes. Bolian, yes. Cardassian, yes.

Also a Romulan Borg on at least one occasion.

So much for the TNG standard of the Borg "not assimilating indivuals".

Voyager sure fucked up the Borg.

Funny you should mention that actually. I am writing a guide to the Art Asylum figures and those are two points I think AA fucked up on. The figure license for the Borg states that only races seen in Star Trek as a Borg can have a Borg figure made. And the Klingon Borg figure has hair and a goatee.

Do the Borg typically still have eyebrows? Maybe they cover tham up with latex, or something. I never really paid attention.

I'm sure, if you want to really get down to it, they have eyelashes.

The Borg are very kinky by nature. I'm sure they shave.

I noticed that too about the AA Klingon Borg. The goatee looks really dumb.

There may have been an Hirogen Borg somewhere in the background at some point... but I don't recall seeing one specifically.

I'm also pretty sure the Borg (at least from FC onward) don't have eyelashes. Locutus did, even in FC, but as I recall, they were greyed back and lightened. Likely a result of the differences in Picard's assimilation. Certainly nothing to do with the fact that Stewart might not have wanted to shave his brows.

I don't know about a goatee, but the Klingon borg in First Contact had a Klingon-style mustache. Noticicing it is what made me realise it was a Klingon.

Some Klingons may have been assimilated just prior to the battle at Typhon sector of the Borh zipped through their space towards the Federation.

I could see some foolish Klingon captain wanting to test his mettle against the Borg nad having his ship easily assimilated as a result.

The longer a drone spends assimilated the less likely he would resemble his original form I figure.

Otr the mustache is just an experimental set of nano-probe tubules....

Also Hugh had at least one eyebrow visible.

Having a mechanical body and all, I don't think she even had one. Well, not a natural one anyways.
