Anyone else receive their Fiend figure and the face print is completely off? Mine isn’t too bad but it’s obvious. the top teeth are in the mouth and the print where the eyes and nostrils are below the sculpt. Super bummed out about this since I’ve waited 2 months for this only to receive a flawed figure. I see the next preorder date is for July but I’m hesitant, especially since the price jumped. Also, noticed the hair is a little lighter in mine, seems to be a running change.

Mine is also off in all the same ways you mentioned.
The nose is down and to the left. The eyes are so badly off that I didn't even think he had eyes. The teeth are firmly in his mouth.
It's really really bad. For the first figure I ever preordered, I'm so frustrated. The only way I'm not losing my mind over it is that I'm only displaying it on a shelf on the far side of my room, where I won't see it closely that often. It's a horrible case of the True FX f-ups, but if I'm not going to be looking at it closely, I suppose I can live with it. It's upsetting, but not the end of the world.
Besides, if we really are getting a UE, I can deal with this as a temporary thing.

For a figure I spent almost $40 altogether, it's crappy. I love Ringside and I recognize this is beyond their control. But I shouldn't have to dish out another $40 to get a figure that isn't flawed. If the ultimate one is coming, I think I could live with it, but I don't even wanna put this on display.

Sitting at my computer chair, I didn't even realize the full extent of the detail muck up until I put a flashlight on the face. I still can't get a good picture.

That is unfortunate. The hair is a brighter color too. I got mine with the first order and there are no issues. Seems like this recent batch is messed up. I wonder if Mattel would do a recall?

For such a long awaited figure, they really screwed this one up. Idk if they rushed to get it out or what, but the entire figure is a letdown, in my opinion. So many paint issues, from the faces that are botched, to the pants being too dark, the hair being too bright, no hands on the singlet, and no molded on belt. I’m really hoping this Ultimate Fiend corrects all of this. I can’t see myself buying this botched figure.

I've had great luck with the TrueFX, so naturally mine was messed up too.
1. The placement of the nostrils was totally off.
2. The right side of his forehead had a streak of the white portion of his mask printed onto the curved/cut-out black part above his eyes.
3. The teeth and gums of the mask were skewed a bit in some spots.
Initially I was really bummed. Mainly because I haven't been this excited for a WWE figure in a long time. Especially for a modern roster guy.
However, I'm fortunate enough to be an artist that regularly does touch-ups and fix-ups anyway, so I was able to fix these issues with no problem and you'd never know they were there to begin with
Granted, I would have preferred NOT having to do anything, but it is what it is. Anyways, I have no doubt the next Fiend (if UE rumors are true) will be even better

Kinda wish I had the blonde one now Consider yourself lucky because it seems the ones with the running change have a lot of mis-printed faces. A lot of my friends received there’s and they’re saying it’s worse that mine.

Damn, glad they fixed his hair but sucks his face is messed up. I’m glad I have one with the correct application of FX but I really wish his hair was blonde to begin with

Mine hasn’t shipped yet, but fingers crossed for a non-f*cked up one.

He’s now on preorder 4 for late July, it’ll probably be months or until the next one comes out that he’ll be available to ship after ordering.
