Big Show, I know a LOT of wfigers seem to be indifferent to him, but I need an update of the figure, I have his very first basic, but I want a heel Show...
Yet all of the Big Shows released for what seems like a year are these cheesy smiling headscans...anybody know when we're going to get a 'heel' show?
Is anyone else noticing this or am I just seeing things?

Hes been a heel for six months, probably not enough time to get a new scan out. All you need to do is swap his Basic 1 or Elite 4 scan with a current figure.

I prefer not head swapping unless absolutely necessary. Did it once before for a Punk and the head movement was never the same. I'd love to have a figure of this hoodie look he's been rocking as of late.
I think it would make a good elite with the hoodie and WHC

You're obviously doing something wrong then, I've done plenty of headswaps and never had a problem.

Its the same with R Truth. They should've never chanced his E15 headscan. That cheesy smiling one is terrible and probably why it dosentg sell. Same with Show. His latest figures have a gargabe smile headscan, and his fist isn't even clinched for the KO Punch.

Why Mattel isn't using it for their basic R-Truth figs is beyond me.

He's still nuts, he still gets angry/ exerted in the ring, I say it works fine. The issue isn't that the figure's scan is smiling, it's that it sucks big time and isn't even a close likeness. I'd really like to see the first year headscans go away. One other thing to solidify my argument, Sheamus is face, has been for a while, still gets the dickish angry grinning headscan over and over again. EDIT: I'm almost certain that the R-Truth in the t-shirt line is the E15 scan. If you look at the ringsidefest pics you can see him in the background of a lot of shots, but he got missed. There is a distance shot of the group, he's halfway behind miz where you can't see him too well, but I'm pretty sure it's the good scan. There was a thread the other day about it where I brought this up: wfigs.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=wftmattel&action=display&thread=264388

Perhaps I am, but until I am positive I can do it right, I don't want to risk it when I don't have a lot of money to throw away. I put it in boiling water, popped the head off, switched them and placed it in the freezer for a couple minutes after doing so.

I haven't paid much attention to his newer figures, but I wouldn't consider the grin cheesy on him. I just think the smiling scan on Big Show makes him look cartoon-y. Jack Swagger is also a scan I still can't get behind. The newest one with the Kurt Angle singlet in the basic line is my favorite so far but -- still not as good as it can be, IMO.

There's nothing wrong with the smiling R-Truth or Big Show headsculpts, but the Big Show one has been way overused. It's actually been over a year. It's been a year and a half. Summer 2011 the smiling Big Show figures started. And he's had seven million figures since then, he's almost as prolific as Cena, Rey and Orton. The only one that's had a different head in that time was the Survivor Series Heritage one.
I think Swagger's first headsculpt was fine, but too small. The Gary Busey one is pretty bad. The newest one is alright, but I still prefer the smiling one.

I did this fix-up using a Jakks head. I hope mattel does one similar.

NONE of his Mattel figures have had the clenched fist also IIRC... He desperately needs a clenched fist and an angry head scan... Looking at that dumbass smile makes me angry!

He may be a face but he's still temperamental as hell. Dude gets mad all the time. He needs a head-scan that shows some emotion. His E8 figure is good, but he looks too calm, and the smirk they gave him looks more like an over-bite.

The next show they will probably do is one based around his Survivor Series 2012 attire. I say this because this attire wouldn't just be changing a headscan on a WM 28, a S 22, or a S 25 since he had camo boots.
