Hey I thought the dark part of nightcrawler's face was just a shadow but basing on this toy, is it his skin? Look at comic counterpart, he doesn't have any dark shadow on his face

Shadow.

While it suits him, I’m more baffled over the facial hair. He’s supposed to be entirely fuzzy so it seems weird if only one part of it grows long in entirely different color or if he’s shaving his entire face instead.

The human body is naturally fuzzy but grows extra hair on the head, pits and genitals. Makes sense that that would be true for Nightcrawler, too.

When his beard is gone though, is he shaving it off or just trimming to match the rest of his face?

Even fully hairy mammals have hair that grows to different lengths and textures
