They could do the Entrance Greats head with a longer and wider pony tail and I'd be happy even though his Mind Games attire is his best look. Off-Topic a bit - but I love his match at Mind Games.

The EG scan is good but it is a little too reminiscent of a 2003 HBK coupled with a facial expression not really representative of the night. The E19 hair colour is way off though the hair template itself is great, however, the facial pattern just doesn't capture Shawn even slightly imo. Mattel have done a great job with WM14, WM8 & Rockers HBK. Though, nevertheless, they are only appropriate to the temporal period they represent I think. A new headscan would be optimal I think. I head-swapped the Classic Deluxe S2 HBK with the Classic Deluxe Exclusive WM12 HBK and have since believed that the whole sculpt is very representative of post-match HBK. I would be quite happy with something similar. (I will upload better pics as soon as I can). screencastSo is this confirmed for definite?

I have to say this face scan looks great for the Wrestlemania 12 look (with a ponytail or long hair). I know everybody wants a new Headscan, but a new scan can come out worst than any other that has been released.

He needs a new scan. That Network exclusive mold needs to be destroyed so we can never make that mistake again.

There is not really a good 96 scan
RSC 92 TRU 95 EG 96 but that's not how he looks E19 97 WMXXX 98
TRU Spotlight would work ok if Bill didn't want a New Scan but a new one would be great but I don't see why when the Spotlight/B14 one works fine

The Network Spotlight head wouldn't work for a 1996/WM 12 HBK. The Network Spotlight/1995 HBK still had the mullet, which was his last year of wearing a mullet. By WM 12/early 1996, he got rid of the mullet. And ironically enough, he probably got rid of it in early 1996 because Vince told him he was getting the title and Shawn probably felt it was time to get rid of the mullet look, if he was going to be more high profile and WWF Champion. Smart decision on his part, too.

I hope it's not true and just a rumor, I'd rather it be WM19 or RR98 elite.

Realistically I'd bet that we would just see a reused headscan. However like others have stated if like to see something new. I wouldn't mind a combo of the Wrestlemania flashback face with shorter side burns along with either a longer pony tail or the E19 hair .

Since putting the Wrestlemania figure in the Wrestlemania 12 outfit... the face looks perfect for this attire. I agree if they keep a ponytail look it should def look way better and the Elite 19 hair would also look awesome with that Headscan.

I think people have forgotten that I also asked "should he come with body hair or non at all"

As promised: Tbh I think the expression that the figure models has such importance. The E19, E4, Flashback & Network scans are all pretty much expressionless. Jakks to their credit have imo the best preretirement HBK sculpt (at least so far) in the Dx/Montreal exclusive smirking HBK. The scan itself (without a beard) was used for the WMX exclusive pack with Razor and something similar would be fantastic for a 1996 HBK. A nice bonus would be, if they are going for pre-match HBK, earrings!

I like E19, he looked more haggared/depressed to me around 96. A new one would be good too.

The WMXXX scan is, by far, his best actual scan in terms of looking like him. That being said, Mattel would have to sculpt new hair on him. The E19 hair might work on top of that scan but I couldn't say for certain without actually seeing it.
I do hope they go hair down here. I put the E19 head on my EG figure and put the Winged Eagle on him to create post match Shawn. I'd prefer something along those lines. This is honestly something I hope comes with the WWF Title and has great presentation MOC. I think there is about a 99.9% chance I double down on this so I can keep one MOC for my office.
His spotlight scan is horrendous though. That thing needs to go on the retired list in Mattel's parts drawer. I wish they would look at totally redoing his 95 look altogether, hair and all. I obviously love the SS95 attire on the Network figure but I hate that head with a fiery passion.
