I think the new AJ head is better than the original head. I like figures that have some kind of facial expression like they pull during a match rather than them being straight faced.

yeah eyebrows could make a huge difference. what is mindblowing to me actually is that they always paint the eyebrows somewhat above or below the spot they actually sculpted them on the face.

I think that is the real problem with mattel face scans. The paint apps make them look cartoony rather than real. I do think a lot of their expression faces suffer from realistic agreement. Like AJs yeawning face. The mouth does not match the eye brows. These are basic concepts in comic boot artistry and other illustrative media.

http://instagr.am/p/BWg5R-AAiyZ I finally broke down and bought elite 51 AJ Styles, with some acetone to fix the eyebrows, gave him some kneepads, cut the elbow pad, and used some duck tape for the armband. I'm pretty happy with the results. I feel like this is how AJ's expression was supposed to be all along.

I agree that some screaming heads like the recent Seth Rollins aren't very good, but I actually think this one looked fine as is. Something that has been bugging me is the eyebrows not being painted on the mark in several figures now. You can see the raised ridge where it should be, but then the paint is way off.

I'm probably just going to end up swapping his headscan with his first Elite. I just prefer expressionless/straight-faced scans for play and display.

I'm sure it would be a much better scan if repainted properly. I've always considered Mattel's face paint apps to be one of their biggest problems.

There's really nothing wrong at all with the head from a structural standpoint. Regardless of what people feel about screaming scans, this head looks 100% like AJ. The paint app simply creates odd issues out of nowhere, while doing very little to enhance the good features.

AJ looks like he is ready for bed. In fact, everytime I look at this....I yawn.

Man with the repainted eyebrows I love that headscan. I actually might like it more the E47 scan. I've been thinking about getting E51 but had some reservations cause of the crapty headscan but you've completely convinced me to get it.

I read this as "figure I saw online before I bought it isn't terrible but I had all the information ahead of time so it shouldn't of been a surprise at all"

Yikes. I try my best to not disparage others, especially when it comes to customizing--but, I have to be honest: that just looks horrible, man. In fact, looking at most of your customs...you need some serious work. Slowing down, learning textures, and what paints to use one what areas, etc. Subtleties that you are just majorly missing out on. Especially if "customs" is in your username.
