I wasn't a huge fan of Elite Ziggler's headscan but a swap with a Basic Ziggler fixed that.
Honestly, I haven't purchased a figure that I didn't want enough before hand since Mattel took over.

Basic Yoshi Tatsu anyone? Elite Yoshi Tatsu lol his figures are just horrible for sure. I got mine and was half tempted to sell it off for $30 just cause i could think of 3 other guys worth having over him haha But next too that would have too Be Jack Swagger. Mattel is really having trouble nailing this guy. His face scan is just never perfect, his body style and height are off. They really need too give us a good Elite Swagger next. Also Tyson Kidd E7 was god awful. I sold mine off just cause the head scan was sucky and now the tights are outta date being that the hart dynasty broke up a year ago. Also none of my figures ever had that crooked eye syndrome haha there all fine and i got Ryder, Morrison etc. My guess is maybe you been getting ones sitting around on trucks and in stores back rooms??? not sure what the deal with those are but any sunglassed figure i have turned out ok so far. Yeah you gotta watch on these boards your not allowed a opinion apparently or to give information ppl dont wanna hear cause they all gang up on ya with smiting's lol ya either gotta not care and keep doin your thing or just lie to everyone and say what they wanna hear so you dont get smited hahaha its ridiculous really i know!

I was just having a peachy night last night, and then I try and cheer myself up and get a figure I wanted and it was kind of disappointing, and then I come here and get negative karma, it was just the lack of maturity that set me off. I mean, I deal with morons all day, between working as a pharmacy tech and then at a comic shop part time. Internet morons are the least of my worries, I shouldn't have even reacted like I did. So my karma's down. I still have a life outside this forum. I just wonder why Wrestlingfigs forums are set up like this. In the day and age of out of control trolling why give tools to help these tools? I'll continue to come here for help and discussion, and not give two craps about my karma. Oh, and agreed about Tatsu, it's that scan...

Forgot to mention, the crooked eye/ sloppy eye syndrome doesn't happen very often. I see it on both the elites and basics from time to time, I just had the crap luck of getting 3 figures now with sunglasses that have had slop or crooked eyes. It's not technically going to happen often but the surefire way to know for sure you're getting the best you can get (face it, $17 after tax is a lot to pay for one toy) is to have the sunglasses off in the pack like Jakks Pacific does with their Deluxe Impact figures. The staining is irritating too, I've had E4 Morrison since Christmastime last year and left his coat on for the most part, and now his arms look sunburned.

Natalya. If they ever make another she needs to have a different head with longer hair and a different expression.

hasn't happened yet, but I will be HUGELY disappointed if the Legend DDP is another damn smiling version.
All we got from Jakks was smiling DDPs... we need a SERIOUS face DDP...

As a heel manager for the Freebirds in the early 90s he was smiling, as Vinnie Vegas's tag partner he was smiling with a cigar, hell in promo shots of him and his ex wife naked with the WCW US title he was smiling (who wouldn't be smiling next to a naked Kimberly). In shoot interviews he's laughing, even hosting the Best of Nitro DVD set he's happy. So he had a 2 minute stint as a stalker who didn't smile, he's still a happy individual. That's like Kofi Kingston with a serious scan - nobody liked that.

Elite 8 Edge was disappointing due to the terrible scan, but after a head-swap with with his TLC figure it became perfect.
Christian's Royal Rumble figure was disappointing, again due to the scan.
Jericho's Elite was a huge disappointment because of how outdated the attire was by the time it was released. I skipped it, but it doesn't negate my sadness.

While it was my favorite figure in Legends Series 2 just because of who it was...Superfly was disappointing. Besides the long tights & boots I felt the legs were too thin for Superfly. If they do a barefoot Snuka, the legs on Kevin Von Erich would be perfect.

My most disappointing figure was probably E1 Undertaker because of the scan being off and he was extremely loose. It seems like it's all small features that make a difference between a great figure and a flop. My only other disappointing figure was E2 Matt Hardy only because he was too skinny and his ankle was crooked.

Most disappointing? The Gobbledy Gooker because it shows the holes in Mattel's line of thinking.
Figures released for sale? Jack Swagger, Snuka, Basic Christians, Basic 2 CM Punk, John Morrison's non-Jesus style headscans, the list goes on and on. Snuka though is the most disappointing. Hands down.
From a funny standpoint, all of the Cenas and Mysterios that clog up the lines. I hate John Cena. Will never buy his merchandise for any reason. Mysterio just has too many figures.

Christian all the way. The outfit looked horrible, and the face was unbearable.

I actually really liked Mr. Perfect (obviously) except I do agree that he's a little too tall.

I was disappointed that the Elite 6 CM Punk never came with the updated OTL head scan... so I grabbed the OTL version and fixed it
