Does anyone else agree that Both the Warrior figures are perfect except for one major problem... ![](http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/9224/54738992.jpg) When has the Ultimate Warrior ever had such a blank, expressionless look on his face? When I think of the warrior I think of him gnarling, growling, snorting, inhaling/exhaling etc. ![](http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/3958/warriorsl.jpg) I feel the expressionless face they have chosen for him doesn't represent the Warrior at all. ![:(](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/sad.gif)

I agree with you 1000%, I said the same thing back when they revealed the figure back at Comic Con or whenever it was. The figures are perfect but the face has to go, Its Sooooooooo not the Warrior at all. I know some people say its nice to have a face thats not screaming, But Warrior must ALWAYS be screaming because otherwise he doesnt look right lol.

Yes, I can see where you'd want a better expression. Give Mattel time, they're bound to make more Warriors and new scans.

hmmm.. i didn't even notice it at first but now that you mentioned it with the support of the pics of other warrior figures done so far, i do have to agree wth you!!! Perhaps a grin, smirk or biting teeth would have been great But i'm sure they'll be working on it pretty soon

Agree, but I still think the figure is amazing. I have the same problem with Randy Savage's figures.

Looks like his facial expression when he was the Dingo Warrior, for his WWE days it´s a little bit boring, that´s right!

Does anyone else agree that Both the Warrior figures are perfect except for one major problem... Its the major problem with 99.9% of mattel figures...

I agree, but I think it is much better than the Jakks scan. Their scan was just extremely unrealistic and I personally didn't think it resembled the Warrior.

I would have really liked a biting expression. Just something more intense as he was really theatrical and it would have just been more fitting. Even with that, I still think the DM figure is ridiculously cool.

I agree. Jakks sometimes went a bit overboard on the face scans but, it was a lot closer than this. My personal favorite Warrior they did was the one based on his Wrestlemania VI attire against Hogan. Or the one of him that only had the Warrior logo painted small on his face. www.toymania.com/news/images/1203_cs_warrior.jpg

I agree but in defense of the DM Warrior, Warrior was more 'serious' in that match since it was a career ending match and he didn't even run to the ring if you remember. I don't think that's the reason why mattel used a stoic expression but it kinda works for that one. Legends Warrior should of definitely had some kind of growl or grittier looking expression

the Jakks CS 14 Warrior head is one of my favorite wrestling figure scans EVER.
I understand Mattel has done their research and wants to give us some different things...but Warrior should have had some kind of "screaming" or "snarling" scan. While I think that the one they have looks like him quite alot, it doesn't really capture the awesomeness of the Ultimate Warrior

While I think that the one they have looks like him quite alot, it doesn't really capture the awesomeness of the Ultimate Warrior This is very true, but . . . . for every person who agrees with this, there'll be a dozen more who would've griped about wanting a straight faced scan if it hadn't been produced this way. I'm sure Mattel knows how many people bitched about Jakks not producing enough straight faces for certain characters. For what it's worth, I do agree though.

Big surprise, you coming here and bashing Mattel figures. I'll bite my tongue and refrain myself from saying anything about Jakks. On a side note, I do agree that the Warrior should have had a different scan, or at least have one of the figures straight faced and the other have a more animated look to him( screaming, exhaling, wrenching teeth, etc) Although Warrior's scan is not that greatest, it is still accurate, even though he was rarely ever just straight faced. There are very few figures that I really dislike the sculpts for, and Warrior is on the fence for me. I like it enough to get the figure, but in the back of my mind I'll always feel that the face could hav ebeen better.

I'm ok with the serious face for once. Some of the examples you gave at the top just make him look like he was constipated.

Most of us know Mattel needs to improve a lot of their scans except for a few people blind to Mattel's faults.
