This was on my doorstep this morning when I got up. I didn't have the patience to wait for my phone to charge so I went ahead and opened it. I really dug his debut figure, but here he is in his full updated glory! His new headscan is easily the best in the set, and the only other new one besides Beth Phoenix. He's very similar to the original headscan, but showing his teeth in a smile instead of gritting them. The proportions are dead on to scale with the original release, making this one of the most consistent figures that Mattel has produced. Here's a comparison shot. His beard is a clever two-tone illusion, the jaw is outlined in a shade darker than the chin and mustache area, and only noticeable that it's not blended together when you look very close. I've heard some early complaints about the lack of wrist tape, and I don't know this particular attire well enough to know if it's accurate or not. I agree that it looks a little naked, even if it is accurate, but it's by no means a breaking point. People complained the first figure treatment having too dark of a beard, so this should satisfy. The hair is also well sculpted and detailed. Overall fantastic release of a guy we might not get too many (if any) more figures of. Crossing my fingers for an Elite with this positively perfect scan!

Nice figure. I hope Mattel makes all lighter beards just like this one.

I can't believe how much better the new headscan is compared to the battle pack, it's such a vast improvement. It really looks like a great figure and a definite buy for me. Thanks for the pics.

nice figure. scan looks pretty good from your pictures. i do prefer his older look better. he just looked more bad ass with the short hair and beard. thanks for taking the time to do comparison pics for us.

such a good looking figure. can't bring myself to spend any more money on him until he gets more tv time though.

Great work on the stubble Mattel! I hope this continues going forward.
It's a incredible head sculpt! Be nice to get a Elite of him with this head.

I think this figure is spot on. He looks exactly like Mason Ryan. I hope I can find it at retail once he hits stores.

Very nice figure and fantastic headscan! HBK needed that beard treatment for his figures.

I think the new head on the old body would make the best version of Ryan. Just more detail on the older one. Love the new scan. Amazing job on the hair and beard. But I keep thinking his head would make a decent Sting custom. The hair is a dead on for the Stinger.
