Like the figure would love it with better head choice. The gradient blue to green is cool, but I'm not sure I would have noticed without y'all mentioning it. Glad I can finally take this one off my list of requested HBK figures.

As far as HBK head sculpts go it is my 3rd favorite after the RSC WrestleMania IX figure and his WMXXX (WMXV) I have no problem with them using the E19 head. It would have been nice if the X's faded to blue at the tips, but it isn't a deal breaker. I will gladly order it when it goes up for pre-order.

I'm definitely getting this HBK. Going to swap the head out with a spare WM 30 Elite and paint the red beads in the braids black. I think the Elite 3 head works too based upon the hairstyle.

They're blue. Now shut up about what color they are
If they couldn't add all the color they shouldn't have bothered doing this gear

The face is a bit off but otherwise I love this figure. Good to be able to add another DX Shawn.

I can't see the Xs, are we sure they're not accurate? Shawn is such an a-hole for over-selling like that. Same thing happened in that mid-2000s Hogan match too lol.

(Mattel makes the figure) Everyone is like, "Mattel why did you forget the blue on his attire, and why did you use the head scan that everyone like to mentions as one of their favorites!?" TheHitmanKid say, "Good work on this figure Mattel, and for everyone who hates this figure....SUCK IT!!!"

I'd rather they had just used one of the "modern" HBK scans that had the half-ponytail thing. The knee pads are getting incredible annoying, along with using kickpads instead of the strap boots like Ziggler has. They have the molds for these things, I don't get why they don't use them. I'd even be ok if they painted on his choker.

What I'm actually getting tired of is seeing people bitch about complaining lol let's talk about it, I didn't completely crap on the figure as I did show my appreciation. You guys sound like those girlfriends only complain about a good relationship. Only remembering the negativity from the post. So you stop ya bitchin bruh

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. This is just beautiful, I've seen many customs nail this figure and has me wonder why can't Mattel do as much detail? Even the repainted head is great. I have the basic 4 HBK and that's actually one of Mattel best scans but like mentioned it is a bit older looking since it is for a later HBK. I ended up putting that on the Walgreens Exclusive. No doubt it'll sell well though. I'm eventually buying it too so I'm not completely disappointed.

I tend to overlook minor asthetic errors if the overall figure looks great. This one, while inaccurate looks amazing still. And that is one of my favorite HBK heads.
For the record, I do understand not giving Mattel a free pass, and the logic of "well Jakks didn't give us as many unique pieces" doesn't wash, however it really is just a matter of not being that important to me.

I think it's a really cool figure. Granted, it's not absolutely perfect but few figures are. I understand the gripe about knee pads and especially the kick-pad molds used, rather than the Ziggler/Hawk and Animal boots, which would suit far better.
The head sculpt I actually really like, always have. I realise it's not entirely accurate for the IYH match that that the attire is based on but I don't feel it detracts too much. Still a great looking figure. I would personally have preferred the One Night Only candy-stripe attire but hey ho!
One last thing though; for people who don't see the sculpt sharing a resemblance to HBK, I agree in a way. I feel this is due to Mattel constantly painting the eyes for that sculpt BROWN, as with all HBK figures. He quite clearly has BLUE eyes and this error with eye colour could be contributing to the feeling that his likeness is never quite captured sufficiently.

With a bit of fixing up the RSC DX HBK could look perfect, I understand expecting a perfect figure with how much money will be spent on it but adding blue tips on the X’s or stubble on the scan isn’t really that hard. The Jakks DX HBKs were good for their time but still not perfect either: RSC CS DX 2-pack: CSDA 4:

I like it, BUT it’s an EXCLUSIVE! The only thing special about it is the entrance top. I’m the biggest HBK fan. I have all but maybe 5 of his figures MOC. They used the same chaps as the WM elite so nothing special there. I would prefer the WM head scan with a pony tail. I’m fine with this as a regular elite but as a RSC exclusive they should go that extra step since we are the ones keeping them in business and buying the figures. I’ll still buy it though lol.
