I've got his first figure; I don't see why I'd want this one...not much difference as far as I can tell...

It is as simple as the head not really bearing any resemblance to DDP. People wonder why the figure gets hate. If we were seeing only that head for the first time with no body sculpt or deco to clue us in, how many people could guess that was DDP? And how many would say "DDP..... " with uncertainty? I like the attire and body choice for the Legends figure. I think the paint looks sharper on the new flashback, but I'm interested in the likeness. At the end of the day that trumps any other factor.

I can't belive this is just a rerelease. It absolutely sucks. We all know mattel is better than when they first tried the legends series. There should be some improvement. I love DDP.... but I didn't like the head mold the first time.

Behold, our new DDP headscan. Smiling. Again. But with an open mouth. Ugh... **MODS PLEASE NOTE** WFT mod JCF gave me permission to continue the DDP discussion here rather than make a new topic.

Why should DDP have a serious headscan, like from his worst run in wrestling, stalker DDP in WWE?
Keep on giving us the solid stuff, MDT. You the real MVP, Bill!

No. A serious attitude as in his WCW run i.e. the vast majority of his career and how he looked in the ring. Not smiling like his shortlived WWE gimmick. I just wish we could get a DDP headscan that represents the DDP I remember. Serious. Intense. Focused. This video captures what I mean so perfectly: So again I ask Mattel, please give us a serious DDP, not smiling.

Everyone remembers smiling pumped up ddp, not ready to rumble ddp

I want to know why they can't give him the correct jeans/boots look either if they're going to do something like this Basic. My Toybiz figure of him shouldn't be better than what Mattel is putting out like 18 years later.
Whatever, easy pass.

punksnotdead while I can't say I personally am too bothered about the boots, I agree the Toybiz Smash N Slam DDP is still a more definitive DDP figure than any other made by Jakks or Mattel:

At least the new Ddp head scan looks exactly like him

The new DDP head looks better from a distance than it does up close IMO. Not sure why they keep giving him that swoosh of hair up top or reddish hair. If they made new Diamond Cutter hands, this would be a must buy basic.

Don't get me wrong, the likeness on BOTH Mattel DDP heads isn't that bad (looking past the orange hair of course). But again it's the expression choice I have a problem with, anyone who actually followed his WCW career (i.e. not just looked at promo photos or his WWE smiley gimmick), will remember his character as for the most past serious and intense, smiling just doesn't work.

I don't think that New Headscan is smiling... I get more of a "BANG" impression from it.

I have to agree with The Assassin but it would of also been great to see them try and redo that WCW smash and slam head sculpt. I know I would of just lost it! Here's what I want to know... We've asked for this figure numerous times, so why the is he basic? And what's up with the bell bottoms? I'll only be buying this to swap with my elite and repaint it. Btw for those who say the previous scan was bad... It wasn't it just suffers from Mattel's poor paint jobs. If you repaint it, it looks great imo. Btw I don't hate the new scan, just curious to know how it would look repainted.

I don't like the old ddp head and I don't love the new one either. I was hoping to be buying his basic to do a headswap but now I won't even bother

It's me, it's me, it's D-D...isa-P-pointment As much as I may seem like a strong angry crazy man, i am truthfully really disappointed about this. I had hoped Bill had picked up on the hate for the smiling DDP head and would give us a new one, which obviously did happen, but why why why couldn't it have been a serious headscan... Smiling-open-mouth isn't any better than teeth-smiling.
