I do too
I put it on a shield basic recently. I think the basic from the Jake The Snake BP. It looks really really good on that.

They did a good job with the whole soaking wet hair look, except I hardly remember a goatee

The biggest complaint was the height issue not so much the head scan.

I think the mouth sculpt and the beard bother me the most about that scan. Not terrible but just not very good. The elite 36 Scan just knocks it outta the park for me

They did a good job with the hair, but I don't like the face scan at all.

The scan is pretty goo but the height is my problem. It makes Ambrose be about 5'10, when I believe he is like 6'4.

i really like the figure as it is tbh.
i know im from the minority, but i like that head, and the height issue is not a problem for kids who love ambrose and just want to play with him..
i used my figure head to make a custom elite ambrose, this will do until we get elite 36, and the custom legs will go back to SCSA

I noticed alot of people don't like the head scan, I like it haha Ok...did you just get one or is this apropos of nothing? The figure as a whole is a major let down. The scan is way off (B33 and E25 are FAR better) and the scale is offensive. It's one of the few times I've been disappointed in MDT. All they did was repaint Hunico in order to get it out fast. So again I ask, did you recently get the figure (if so, can you post a pic and elaborate on why you like it) or are you simply trying to stir the pot? |

I am not a fan of this figure. I could not bring myself to purchase it. I think the headscan is making a really weird expression with the mouth, and the figure is about an inch shorter than it should be.
The new Elite Ambrose that is coming out over the summer looks fantastic, though. Not a huge fan of scans with open mouths and tongues hanging out...but at least it actually looks like Dean Ambrose.

It's not the best but it's not the worst. People love to be overly-dramatic. Converting something to another medium like plastic, even when scanned, is just not always going to translate. You don't just run a scanner around a person's face and a toy pops out. The artists have to spend hours distilling the likeness, sculpting, and simplifying as they go. And sometimes things go awry. The paint is doing this toy no favors but from certain angles you can really get a feel for his likeness.
The height is fair game though...

In my opinion it's one of the worst scans I've seen from Mattel. He looks like he's melting or something. When I see likenesses such as this make it to stores it really really makes me question just how bad that Tyson Kidd scan must have been for Mattel Bill to shelve it for improvement.

If you look at his face and not the hair, he looks like a weird combination of HHH and Road Dogg. Despite the problems I have with the headscan, my biggest issue with the figure is that they just stuck the head on a Hunico body. Not only is that not accurate to the Dean Ambrose look but that body sucked back when it was on Hunico (though admittedly I own that figure because it's the only unmasked Hunico) So it's like Mattel said, "We have this horrible body mold we only really used once, let's use it again and put a head scan on it that's made of Silly Putty and drawn on with crayons". It's something straight out of the Jakks playbook and will not get my money because it is (spell it with me now, people) L-A-Z-Y.
