I thought that Legends Paul Orndorff was the pinnacle of headsculpt acuuracy, never to be surpassed, but I think Mattel may have just done it with JYD. He is DEAD ON. Mine just arrived from Amazon and I can't get over how amazing he looks in person. Job well done, MDT.

Yea his headscan is just amazing. The only other figure I can think of on par with it is the road dogg.

Knocked it out of the Junkyard. That's about as clever as I could come up with. :X. I have to agree though, it's an awesome figure  . |

As much as I love the way JYD turned out I think Orndoff is still the best.

Great though, isn't it? It's top 5 for me. I was looking forward to this figure, but I mean, man, I had no idea I would love it so much. Based on pics, I thought it was just a Classic Superstars clone, but it tops even that awesome figure.

I was never a big fan of him but I agree this figure is a PERFECT replica of him!

Put Paul and JYD together and you've got 2 Dudes with Attitudes...and the best face scans/sculpts to date!

I'm glad you started this thread. I just found JYD at Target and I'm amazed at how good this figure is. One of my favorites.

Imo it's a decent likeness to Willie Mack, too. I agree, though. Perfect rep of JYD!

I think orndorf is a contender. I think the most recent r truth scan from the battlepack with Xavier woods is remarkable. There are many that I think are perfect, for example, rick Martel and the wrestlemania heritage batista. I don't think the road dogg scan is very impressive at all. I like his Toybiz heads better.

JYD turned out great! I'll be honest, I was kinda worried about finding him in stores after the toy aisle controversy with the Django Unchained figures. I mean, at the end of the day to a non-wrestling fan JYD is a black man in chains and could be considered offensive in a certain context. I'm glad Mattel was able to get him out and that fans are finding him!

JYD is one of the best elites they have done this far. I'm glad they added actual chain with him instead giving him some cheap rubber like they tend to do occasionally with wrestling figures.
