If painted correctly that would have been the best DBry scan so far.

I wanted this asked at the Q&A. I mean I understand the most probable reason as to why they did it but once they saw what the sample looked like I wanna know why they thought it was a good idea to continue with it. It's ruined all the recent Daniel Bryan figures.

I havent seen it in person, but if it is cast in black and then painted on, its a potential drawback for me. Having dealt with this in other lines i collect, i know how much it can take way from a good sculpt. Hopefully this wont be a trend going forward.

I bought the E28 with the intent that I'd pop the head from this basic onto it. But the basic is a pass now. I hope the BoPPV and E32 end up looking better in person or I won't get those either. Bad head is not best for business MDT, cutting corners like this is a slippery slope.

I thought it looked bad from pics, but saw it in person and picked it up yesterday and its not that bad This. Just like any other paint app applied to a figure, some will come out really good and others come out looking like crap. I inspect my figures when I'm at retail for any problems with the figure..moreso than the actual package. I found a pretty good looking DBry basic at Target and swapped heads with the E28 figure. As of now, its my favorite DBry figure in my collection.

If painted correctly that would have been the best DBry scan so far. With your customizing skills just paint it up and show us what it would look like done properly.

I wasn't going to get it regardless of the painting process. I don't like the scan. The one on the next BoPPV Elite looks spot on, so I'll just be waiting for that one.

It kinda worked for the LJN of Roddy Piper and Hulk Hogan wearing shirts. Cuz when the paint came off, it just looked like they just took their shirts off, or the shirts looked ripped up cuz they were in "such a hard fought match."

I'm going to disagree with the haters, the updated head is an amazing scan and looks awesome both on camera and in person. Cost cutting and Mattel should never be used in the same sentence unless that sentence is "Mattel does not believe in cost cutting".

My Elite 1 Punk looks like he's from Ring of Honor, because he's got half "blonde" hair. I can only imagine how bad a figure with no face would look.

Having dealt with this in other lines i collect, i know how much it can take way from a good sculpt. Hopefully this wont be a trend going forward. It's cast in the hair/beard color and the flesh and eyes are painted. The proto pics from SDCC looked great. Probably his best long bearded scan to date. I was going to buy two for an Elite head swap, but when I actually saw it Friday I was very much underwhelmed with it. So I only purchased the one and decided to forget doing the head swap.

Completely agree! The scan itself is great, the paint is terrible

Yeah, I love both the new scans... but I really hope they get molded in the flesh tone soon.
