RSE IYH HBK rant?

I prefer the Jakks version because of head. IMO the Jakks scan was the best head of any HBK figure made to date.

I love it 👌🏽

It’s an awesome figure and one of my favorite attires/eras and without a doubt I’m getting it BUT I do have to say the chaps and head are COMPLETELY off. The tiny color on the Xs and the knee pads don’t bother me much because in my opinion they’re minor. It’s just those damn chaps and head are sooooo Fn inaccurate lol

*sigh* oh well

Yeah, the head isn't that great but it's better than that Network Spotlight head, that's for sure.

Mattel cannot get a good HBK head scan. I dont like any of them, I showed my brother my HBK collection and he said none of them look anything like him, the worse being the one with blue and black tights. Edge is another they struggle with. I dont know what it is with HBK but they are struggling to nail him which is a pitty because its ruining our figures of one of the wwe legends.

I actually like that head sculpt and I know for a fact it looks much, much better with some color treatment to the hair and stubble added because I've made a lot of customs using it. The hair style is still incorrect but it works fine for me once you fix the color and add the stubble. The color on the X's is inaccurate though and does bother me but I'm willing to overlook it. And before edge lord Boot Party or one of his other 50 non-banned accounts try to argue with me over it, no I didn't need to check Google to notice it. You can even see the difference in the color on the pic on the back of the box.

Here's a custom I made with a wash added to the hair and the stubble added. The hair color difference is kinda hard to tell in the photos but both make the head look a lot better for this attire.  





This old man Shawn head had the correct hair style but the face looks old from the front so it's not really ideal either:



Regardless, I'll definitely be getting the fig and have a feeling it'll sell out fairly quickly like Punk and Edge a few years back. Fixing the head will go a long way and I'm so happy they included the entrance gear too as it looks so awesome. The personalized DX box just takes it to that next level. 

The Xs on the figure don't look uniformly neon green the whole way down. They could very well have some blue at the ends.

Of course, knowing how small detailwork gets botched, I'm shocked people want them to try to do a gradient design like that.

I’m really not one to complain about figures as they’re just toys but I legit debated about making this thread myself. This attire has been a top 5 want of mine for years and the main reason is because I love the green to blue fade. I’m superrrrr bummed it’s not included. Mad? No way, just a toy. But do I wish he blue was in there? Absolutely.

And I’m someone who can easily overlook incorrect boots, body part choices, and lack of knee pads. I mean whatever in the end because I’m obviously still buying it, but still wish the blue was included.
