I really hate this thing. While there are certainly worse offenders in the headscan and scale departments, most of them were eventually improved upon. This is the only Layla we ever got and she is massive, looks like s*** next to Michelle McCool and I don't even want it in my collection.

There have been a few "duds" in the line, but not many IMO. If I had to pick it would be the first DM Sting figure. Just doesn't do it for me. ....Crow Sting!? I think that's one of Mattel's best.

I am a little bit shocked at some of these. I notice the women always seem to not be as close as the men for reason. But I didn't have troubled with the Sting or Farooq. Again, for the quantity they put out, compared to the amount that aren't close is amazing.

I guess I'm in the minority who likes that figure It's a lot better in hand The figure from the neck down is pretty good. The headscan is the worst Mattel made ever. The headscan is the most important part of a figure. Combine that with the fact that it was so bad it got crossover Twitter attention and it wins the grand prize.

I'm not a huge fan of the first Basic Daniel Bryan or the first Vicki Gurrero basis. The Daniel Bryan figures with the painted flesh tone heads with the bears were awful.

I feel like people are copping out good figures with bad head sculpts. Example: Best of PPV WM CM Punk. I love this figure overall but that headsculpt of Gilbert Gottfried hindered it a little. A simple head swap fixed that for me.
As far as figures that have disappointed me...recently I'd say E47 AJ Styles. I don't hate it, but it's a simple figure with no knee pads, no elbow pad, and no belt sculpt. They could've easily used Evan Bourne's sculpt. In hand, this one irks me.

What's with all the hate on Farooq? Only complaint I have is the pants The Nation head is passable, but the APA looks nothing like him. More like Tim Meadows with a goatee. Look at a picture of Farooq, and then look at the figure. Why is he as dark as Wesley Snipes, but in real life ge might be barely darker than The Rock. I own neither and refuse to. I have the Bradshaw. While the head is huge it looks sorta like him and is the right skintone. (Both are pretty bad though and Bill should try to redeem himself with ring gear Acolytes....)

He does have an elbow pad, but its not the right size or type. Its a small closed one. I put a jakks one on because Mattel hasnt made an open elbow pad that isnt huge.

L1 Slaughter and Bret Hart Royal Rumble basic are like the only 2 out of 1000s of figures that do and theyre still really big. A Jakks one is much better. Like the old TTL style. Or just a closed medium one. They gave him the snallest possible.

It's his basic that's stripped down. I'll try a Jakks elbow pad for the Elite. The belt sculpt though...ai yai yai.

Guys like Sami Zayn, who dont wear them, get them. And guys like HBK, that oo wear them, dont get them...

I think the transvestite in disguise as Sasha Banks for the elite is worse Yes the elite 44 Sasha banks is a real close 2nd I think. To others who live in bizaro world the headscan is totally fine.

The Sasha head scan certainly doesn't impress me. The think about knee pads and such amaze me since Bill seems to be so into this and wanting everything to look good.

I love the new Dolph, one of my favorites in my collection. Renee Young's figure is a train wreck and a dumpster fire Really the only bad thing about it is the eyebrows, they make it look cartoony
