This ziggler is way better then passed 3 zigglers and better scan IMO this is a solid set, first all around decent basics in a series

Well, I'm actually much more shocked this Xavier wasn't blue like Big E & Kofi. For any people (likely kids) who are looking to complete a more updated New Day look, but in basic form (due to begging parents for cheaper figures), they're kinda screwed! On the positive side of this, for collectors like most of us, I'm hoping this means repaints of the USELESS double blue releases of Kofi & Big E basics! So those dang children will just have to wait longer muahahahaha! Xavier has already had a Blue Basic Figure in Basic series 56 to go with Kofi & Big E. So it looks like now since blue is out for all of them in Elite & Basic it's time to start with the Red. All great attires. With your point though Kids should all have the blue set by now, mine son does, lol Yeah, but the B56 blue Xavier was to match BP36 Big E & Kofi NOT the "supposed to be purple" latter blue attire (not Carolina light blue with dark blue in it but all-over dark blue) similar to the purple attire designs they wore. Not tryna burst your bubble or anything, but forgot about kids mixing together Basics & Elites for a moment. What about that guy who's a Mattel completist and DOES (for some reason) want all 3 New Day sets...well almost everyone thought for sure B64 Xavier would match his New Day comrades from B60 & B61, respectively. Now, hypothetical collector has 8/9 blue New Day & 1/9 in red. Even down the road, 8 will be blue, and 1 set will remain incomplete! That is presuming Xavier is just going to be flat out skipped at this point, which IS likely--despite the constant going back to red bands look for re-released Cenas, I doubt that's going to happen with Xavier--probably due to all the complainers about 3 sets being blue. And hey, I admit it, I was one of them, because I didn't need 2 of the same attire sets, but just in Elite/Basic. Perhaps our voices were heard, yet they still decided to make 5/6. So the LOGICAL thing--something WWE & Mattel don't always include in operation, especially the former--would have been to just go ahead and complete 'em (in dark blue Basic series form). However, for myself personally, it doesn't effect yours truly; I'm just making a point. As I previously noted, I only wanted B60 Kofi for his ridiculous "scared/surprised" scan to throw on BP36 version, since that head was outdated in the first place. It came on at least B46 Joker Kofi & T-Shirt/Superstar Entrances Series "Skillz All Day" (all-over dark blue again lol) Kofi, since I own those. {E 44 Big E in MATCHING Blue goes here SOON} I challenge anyone to tell me how the above "sets" AT THIS CURRENT TIME make any semblance of sense whatsoever! Like I stated earlier, eventually, when we are able to move that red Xavier down with fellow red colored Big E & Kofi Kingston figures, he's still the "9th" (really the 8th, since B64 came out before E44) & not the 10th release of New Day, as the 10th & 11th could very well end up becoming the red Big E & Kofi (or vice versa) figures in future Basic(s) series, respectively. So I ask ya, where's that missing 12th man? No offense, but leaving out blue from that 9th (8th) New Day release really doesn't seem sensible. While it in no way hurts myself, nor even most fellow collectors who will get the Elite and skip the tired, similar/familiar blue basics, I'm just saying, for the sake of debate...

So on Apollo I noticed that his carding he has his mustache goatee connected, its sculpted on the figure, but painted separately?

The close up on the figure insider video shows that the scan is fine, maybe the paint job and the expression is the problem. If anyone has her previous figures just switch the head over if you don't like it!

Just got my Apollo & Strowman and both are very impressive. Braun is missing the mini Superman logo, but that is to be expected.
