The headsculpts are actually really good, I knew they were wrong immediately when I saw them. LOL @ everyone was saying they were just bad.

What's weird is that it was supposed to be a mistake at the factory that wasn't noticed til they were packaged but on the back of the box they are still round the wrong way? How does that work?

Hey guys !!!!!! I just wanted to give a heads up ...they must be doing a running switch!!!!!!Mine are correct,well sort of My Morton has blonde with highlighted hair but my Gibson has very Dark almost black hair.Now the funny thing about this when I got it today in the mail I looked at it not thinking and said,"wow they look ok I don't see the difference. I even went to obsessedwith wrestling to look at a pic So I just grabbed mine and read this again to make sure I was reading it right. Now before a 12 year old screams no pic no proof, if theres anyone out there who got their order from TRU take a look and post pics because I can't Maybe the ones coming from TRU directly are the second wave?!!!

The headsculpts are actually really good, I knew they were wrong immediately when I saw them. LOL @ everyone was saying they were just bad. I just received my set today from TRU.com. After I finished painting the correct hair and eyes, I was struck by just how good the sculpts are. I could tell that Robert's was good from pics online, but the corrected Ricky Morton looks just like him. I remember thinking that the scans looked generic and random. I'm glad you were right about the switch. With a little effort, you have pretty good figures of the RnR Express. They still need more bandannas, though. Samsson, my TRU.com set still had the mixed up hair and eyes. If you really got a fixed set, that's encouraging.

Just to make sure Iam not lose'n it your robert gibson is on the right hand side (when you hold it facing you) and everyone so far the hair is blonde ? Also is the other ones hair brown or more black ? The figure on the right, listed as Robert Gibson, actually has Ricky Morton's head sculpt/scan, but with dark brown hair. The figure on the left, listed as Morton, has Gibson's scan, but with Ricky's blonde hair and dark roots. That's the mix up, and that's how mine came. If your figures look like the protos on the box, then they're still mixed up, because the protos have the mixed up scans.

Anyone noticed that even the protos have the wrong colors? If I was Ricky or Robert, I´d be pissed for that screw up! Can´t imagine that Mattel would have made He-Man red haired and Teela blonde... But then again... it´s Jakks!

Wow! Great job! Those look so much better now. I can't believe Jakks seriously messed up that big with this 2-pack. Ugh!

But then again... it´s Jakks! The fact that everything we've seen has the heads/hair mixed up, including the protos, makes me think this was a mistake on the planning/corporate end, and not just a factory screw up as Jakks claimed.

Those scans are dead on and the only way you could tell is by looking for the "small v in his hair" WTF! I knew most people didn't know who the RNR Express were when I was being told I was wrong for saying they were painted back to front.

Ricky Morton's hair should be lighter, more bleached out looking. They do look kinda similar, though. Terrible mistake on Jakks' part.
I don't really know a lot about the RnR Express, but it's not my job to know! I always thought they were cheesy and lame, but I am still glad to have figs of them. Too bad they are messed up.

They really messed this set up. First they switch the hair color, and then they forget Morton's bag of cocaine accesory....

You did a great job on switching those hair colors. Don't know why Jakks messed up in the first place. Thats what happens when they have their figures made in China by people getting paid $2/hr and dont even know what the hell wrestling is.
