i saw a basic series 4 Shawn Michaels at Walmart today so i picked it up with the sole purpose of doing a head swap with the ugly elite series 3 figure head. im happy with the results. left is before, right is after

I hate Michaels head scans. They are horrible.

I hate Michaels head scans. They are horrible. i totally agree. but at least series 4 has the right color hair and the stubble. the Elite 3 scan is just terrible.

He meant the hair color was horrible. yes. the lack of stubble and the Heath Slater hair color bear no resemblance to Shawn at all. at least in my opinion

I dont really like the elite, so what i did was put the elite accessories on the basic4 figure. Attire looks nicer, far better job on the painting of the scan and the accesories cap it off. I like it a lot, more than the plain elite.

Neither looks very good. All the hbk head scans have been poor.

Scan is still weak but that's a noticeable improvement nevertheless. Why did they insist on painting everyone's hair orange? So strange!

Neither looks very good. All the hbk head scans have been poor. I totally agree with u. That's why i had reservations of HBK signing my DM figure at first but went ahead with it. I was thinking maybe CS would be better.

The one used for EG and FF is decent but that's about it. I hope any future HBK Legends, DMs, etc will have different scans.

I've wanted to do this swap, but don't have an extra basic 4 to use. Looks good. I'm not happy with the Shawn scan when they don't have the stubble, but its not as bad with the brown hair and stubble. Basic 4 is my favorite of the HBK heads soo far.
