Apart from the WM23 one, does Batista only have the one headsculpt so far? I was looking at my elite 2 yesterday and I genuinely can't tell if it is a different sculpt to all my other Batista figures, or if it's the same one painted differently.
As far as I know, it's:
Batista head 1: Basic 1, Elite 1, Elite 6, WrestleMania 21, WrestleMania 26, Elimination Chamber, basic 5, signature series 2010, two-packs 6, etc etc.
Batista head 2: WrestleMania 23.
But I'm questioning now whether that Elite 2 head is different. Seems to have more of a smirk, but I didn't have any other Batista figures to hand to compare. And now it's packed away.

I don't have any in front of me but wasn't there a couple figures with molded hair (WMH, Sig series) and then one bald (EC)? If so I would say there were 2 scans.

  Yeah no denying there is a smirk on E2 Batista. I never noticed till you pointed it out. I regret not getting an Elite Batista. |

WM 23, Elite 2, and then all the rest. So 3 total. Presumably there will be at least one if not two new scans for hos upcoming figures.
Now I think that one scan is nice that they use all the time, but enough is enough. It was one of the best 2010 scans, which were characteristically poor then. Just hope the new scan doesn't have a big dopey cheesy smile like they've been giving so many people recently.

I think the new, WM 23 headscan is his best to date, Jakks included. Something about it just seems to perfectly captute the way he looked during that time period; the low hairline, wrinkled forehead, everything. Definitely hope we get it on an Elite of some sort. Highly unlikely that we will, though.

I don't really like this Elite 2 scan. I'm thinking of replacing it with the WM23 with hair, does the timeline of the look makes sense?

But Batista's look never changed that much so it won't look that out of place, and that WM23 head/Elite 2 body combo kinda works for Batista from around Cyber Sunday 2007. He still had some hair, and he'd changed from "The Animal" trunks to the "BATISTA" ones so it works well enough. |

Hopefully we get a new sculpt for Elite 30 since he's older now. |

I like both headscans. Jakks did pretty well with the varied Batista heads too.
