How awful is this headscan? It looks nothing like HBK from back then, the hair colour is also off, what is it with Mattel and not being able to get a good HBK scan?

Best scan they have done is WMH WMXIV Shawn.

Perhaps they used this scanner for spotlight HBK.

I remember when this fig came out a member on here said the face scan looks like Pat Sajak.

One of the first things I did was replace the head with E19. I'm not in love with that head either, but with a little paintwash and from the right angle, it's a much better alternative than the awful square head he comes with.

Is that the blue tiger striped figure with the RRH scan? If so then I have to disagree that it doesn’t look like HBK. Because the scan/mold does looks like him. The hair may be the wrong color and style, but the scal looks like him.

I wish I had the figure, but from pictures I don’t see a problem with it. However looking at it after reading the Pat Sajak comment that’s all I see 😂🤣

I’m glad they made Sajak in elite form but I wish Mattel would’ve made him in a suit.

The head sculpt is from an earlier basics. Technically speaking, the title should be Royal Rumble HBK... as bad as it is (which I think Mattel has never gotten HBK's head sculpt right, or Edge's for that matter) I'm glad I own it. The attire is great and it was a sought after figure at the time.

I have the figure and have also repainted it. It’s one of those weird situations where it looks like hbk from one angle, but overall is a weak likeness similar to the elite 19. The elite 19 being the better likeness out of the two. I’m not sure how to explain but something is off about the scan, I personally believe his forehead is too boxy...

I agree.
The best HBK headscan is the Elite 3 figure. That has the best (modern) likeness to him, IMO.

I have to be that guy, but JAKKS made better HBK scans/sculpts. Mattels best one is WM14 and the RSE.

I don't hate this scan but I don't love it either. I feel it's a little blocky as well but the rest of the figure is on point.

And I have to be that “Other” guy...you do know Jakks and Mattel both used Gentle Giant Studios for their scanning. And both use many of the same sculptors. So I don’t see how you can say one company’s scans/sculpts are better than the other. I will say many of Jakks had a better use of the paint application and or colors.

I think HBK might benefit from the face printing technology, sometimes he's squinty or has bags under his eyes

The scan used for the Network Spotlight figure is one of the worst of all time. He looks like a smurf or something cartoonish. I see zero resemblance between the figure and HBK's actual face. I highly prefer the E19 scan, but it's still not perfect.
