So I just bought the new TRU HHH/Kozlov 2 pack and I'm already regretting it. The skin tones one these two (and on many new figures) are AWFUL. The head, arms and legs are all pink and the torso is a stark white. I'll probably end up selling HHH, only keeping Kozlov since its doubtful that Jakks will fix the problem any time soon. I'll just track down an older HHH scan that has a beard and put it on my original HHH. Plus the new HHH doesn't even have a back logo on his trunks.
The skin tones just keep getting worse and worse, they were only moderately off before but now the difference is getting too big to ignore.

lol I feel you there man. I bought the Lance Storm and dear god the skin tones from his arms to torso and head are all three different colors. But oh well.

That entire series of WM 25 2 packs is a nightmare when it comes to arms matching torsos. Jakks butchered the entire series.

Sometimes pics depending on the camera taken don't really show the huge glaringly obvious difference between the skin tones. But I'm sure you have a few figs where the arms and head are one color and the torsos and legs are another. It's kinda funny but sometimes just annoying. |

Flourescent (sp?) lighting can sometimes effect the way Jakks' skintone plastic looks. I remember when I was in Walmart, I came across RA 21 and I saw Chavo Guerrero. I looked at it and his torso and arms looked completely different skintone-wise. But I bought it anyway and brought it home, and it matches perfectly.

I was comparing them to some of the other new figures Ive gotten that I thought looked bad, but none of them look nearly as bad as these two. Buff Bagwell, CS Jericho, Lance Storm, all of them almost look normal next to these abominations |

The newest DA John Cena has a terrible skin tone on the legs. He's tan but apparently wore long pants in the tanning booth. Those Wrestlemania TRU exclusives are almost always crappily done. Jakks really sucks when they cheap out on us, and they've been doing it a lot at the end of their WWE run.

My Priceless two pack suffers from this, and i'm pretty sure nearly every other figure i've bought since before christmas minus Kofi suffer too.
