I remember wanting a R&R set so bad and being so excited when I heard one was coming out, but then being totally bummed out when I saw actual figures. The Morton scan is not too bad, but the Gibson scan looks nothing like him. Does anyone know if this was a mistake by jakks? I also wish they would have given both figs the flabby torso and added some chest hair to Gibson.   |

In case you didn´t know - Jakks messed up the hair colors of both. The blond is Robert Gibson and the dark is Ricky Morton. Do like thousand´s of others did and paint the hair correct  |

Do like thousand´s of others did and paint the hair correct Ricky Morton is the only member with Blue eyes, so I doubt that the blond is Gibson, and even if that were the case neither of the figures look anything like Robert Gibson. |

Yes Jakks messed up here, the factory overseas mixed up who was who and the Gibson head got painted like Morton and vice versa - including hair & eye colors.

The eye and hair colours were mixed up. Do a switch yourself. Lots of other people did it and it looks 1000 time better.

I wish they would re-release them right this time. And maybe with a shirt on Morton and Gibson should have the Regal torso with chest hair.

Love the lazy eye, Classic Collector. This is definitely one of Jakks' most memorable blunders.

They painted them reversed. They painted Gibson's sculpt like Moton and Morton's like Gibson. |

Neither look like Gibson?!! It was only because of how good the Gibson sculpt was that I realised they were painted wrong, luckily T Phunk was about the only person who could see what I meant and he got the chance to ask at RSF. If he hadn't we probably never would have known for sure, I would obviously, but most people could only see the hair colour. It makes me wonder why so many people painted them the correct way if the sculpts are so terrible anyway. I personally think Gibson's likeness is one of the very best in the CS line, so obviously him.

That was a great call by you plasticsuperstar. I admit, I couldn't tell from the original pictures. They just looked generic to me. With T-phunk's confirmation and better pictures it was pretty obvious. With their hair color fixed, they have one of the better likenesses of recent sets.

I thought Gibson's scan was great, but to me there was still someting off with Morton's even after we all corrected the hair, eyes, eyebrows on them.

I agree with you PJ, Gibson is a phenomenal scan after being repainted and something is off with Morton's. I think it's that he looks too young. Sure he was young at some point in his life, but I never thought he had a "young face."

I also think the incorrectMorton looks very much like Morton in the early 90's once they split up and he joined the York Foundation. |
