My number one without any hesitation would be the goofy smiling DDP headscan (used on both his Mattel figures), his WCW character was generally focused and intense in the ring, smiling does not capture the attitude of his WCW persona at all. Plus as has been stated the hair/beard colors were very off on both figures too, though for me the expression choice is the biggest problem. I feel like Mattel is looking too much at promo photos, and not enough at in-ring footage, or possibly just remembering his shortlived smiley gimmick in WWE too much. A headscan is not just about likeness, it's about capturing the essence of the character and their personality, and smiling completely fails to capture the DDP I grew up watching in WCW and was a huge fan of.
We badly need a serious headscan DDP, and his iconic blue-diamond shirt and jeans (circa 1998, AKA Toybiz "Smash N Slam" figure attire) would be the obvious attire choice. It's without a doubt the defining era of his career and one of his best remembered looks. I've been asking the toy companies for a serious DDP headscan to be made for over 10 years now, first with Jakks, now with Mattel, but even my opinion aside, DDP's mattel scan is frequently mentioned on "bad headscan" topics here - a lot of people don't like it. I got my hopes up when Mattel announced they were doing a second DDP, only to be disappointed yet again with them reusing the same goofy smiling scan, and almost the same figure overall too since they only made 2 very minor changes.

Come back when I don't have to click "next" eleven times just to get through an article that would fit on one page. I guess you think I'm in charge of the entire site design and article format. Well this may blow your mind, but I'm not. I do what they tell me. For the 95% of you that provided constructive feedback, thank you. You're the reason I decided to even post in the first place and thought it would spark good conversation.
