Sadly, the new Diesel scan they showed at SDCC doesn't look much better..... I disagree. I like the new diesel scan. Not the greatest but I too think the new diesel is an improvement over the first one

IMO, from the figures I have nearby Best DM Ric Flair RSC HBK shouting Warrior laughing Ted Dibiase any Natalya Bushwhackers Ax and Smash any Heath Slater
Worst E16 Diesel and Nash's face(it looks half correct, like if you put your thumb over either side it looks good, but combined, looks like a mess) Big Boss Man Barry Windham(I don't remember him looking like that, aka I wouldn't know who that was unless you told me, and I am aware of what his face looks like) lemonface Cena Renee Young's eye paint apps(have 3, all look cray) None of the Stings look like Sting to me, closest would be E39. When I first saw the new basic 1998 Sting, I thought "Oh cool, he has a removable Sting mask like the Toybiz line.", but nope, that's just how big his head is, maybe it'll look better in person.

The latest tnf Walmart the rock release, defining moments stone cold, ringside exclusive hogan, dm hogan, sting dm and macho man head sculpt that's used in the ultimate maniacs figure are just incredible how life like they are.

Agree with Kamala. Best. Period. 1-2-3 Kid though, that IS his snarl lol so I don't know how you never seen it before. It's the snarl itself though cuz he wasn't snarling but he always made that face - it's his tough face and not so much a 'snarl'. Like Uncle Leo's eyebrows, it may be the painting that makes him looking meaner than he is. But that scrunched up face, that's classic kid. It's like the face people made when they did the hiphop arms crossed up to your chest face from the late 80's/early 90's. The pre gangster rap tough guy pose/face. That make any sense? Like when they'd finish a rap, put their shades on and go back to back with your arms crossed. Word, Riggs... Did he make that look as a babyface tho? The looks I recall were of freight, shock, and smiles. Smirk/Snarl would've fit with heel Kid but don't think it works with face. Check when he's with Razor. I'm sure he does it there (just for an example). How often he did it - I don't know. I was tuning out during that period cuz we didn't get raw in canada, it was on USA I think? But it is an accurate look that's all. The face itself though does suffer for it. Scrunches him all up and makes him a hasbro figure.

Elite26 Big E I think it's just billy's hair overall... Maybe paint his hair and put shades on him... Hmmmm I just might try that. Anyone done any BG fix ups worth mentioning?

It's by no means his worst but i dont see a great likeness there. I think mattel really struggled with punks scans all through their time. I shaved down the e16 scan and repainted it and it looked a hell of alot better but if yiu were to line up all the punk scans we had over the years you'd be hard pushed to be able to say one looks like the other lol such a huge variation of how they tried to make him. I agree with all the other scans you mentioned tho

A few of the ones I like; Elite JYD Elite 29 and 36 Goldust WM 14 HBK Basic 59 R Truth Elite 36 Dean Ambrose Ones I don't particularly care for; First Jack Swagger Elite The first John Morrison scans BAF Jim Ross and Paul Hayman CM Punk 3 pages & youre the 1st to say JYD. He has to be 1 of the best. Kamala and Truth are great too. I see a pattern here, but I don't wanna be the 1 to say it. I gotta be honest with y'all - JYD's SCAN is not THAT good. He looks more like the rock n wrestling cartoon jyd. The face is to long and not out/fat/chubby enough (possibly due to the expression - which I still don't get unless they were trying to capture him doing his snarl/barking thing. I dunno. JYD was a man of few words and I don't remember him with his mouth open all the time lol). The figure is one of the BEST because it's a great representation of him but it's slightly off in the face department. Go take a look at jyd beside your fig's face and you'll see. I love that fig but imo it's the 'overall' perfection of it and not the scan itself. Like Big John Studd - it's a SWEET figure but he looks almost the cartoon character lol

Elite26 Big E Again, I don't think Mr. Wonderfull is dead on either. I love the fig but I mean hold him up to his box, they can do better. It's not bad but it's slightly off. I think it's the predominant laugh lines, maybe? The EG Piper looks just like roddy - don;t understand this "piper with a new headscan" stuff (the long haired one is goofy but return roddy was ALWAYS smiling. F'n ALWAYS lol so I get it. Kamala is king. I bet if we took the top 5 choices in this thread Kamala would win hands down. Perfection - except for the fact he doesn't have a spear. That's why I display him with the mask off. The shield with no spear seems half-assed to me.

I'm not sure who that Hunico scan is supposed to be......but it sure ain't Hunico. When you're best headsculpt is that of someone else wearing a mask BEFORE you did....you might be a victim of a bad scan. Lol........on the bright side though, Mattel headscans have improved dramatically since the days of BP 2 Morrison or BP 8 or 9 constipated Cena. There were some older ones that were just perfect though. 98% of the original Legends line featured top quality scans rendered well in sculpt.

I really like the Ringside Exclusive Heartbreak Kid scan. It kinda looks like he's smiling and chewing gum at the same time.
The worst scan has to be Lana because she looks like a man.

Taker DM is my favorite! BTW I just got The Godfather and I think it is a very good one.
Lana is the worst!

I'm glad to see so many people commenting with Kamala. Whenever there's a "best...." thread I seem to always answer with Kamala. Best headscan, best accessories, best executed figure overall. Always Kamala lol.

The two mohawk Sheamus figures frustrate me. The first one he looks too sad, and the new one looks creepily happy. Like he would murder me in my sleep if I bought him home to chill on my figure shelf. I really hope the figure looks less creepy IRL but we will wait and see.
