It depends. I think Jay(?) Uso looked great. Jimmy looked horrible.( probably the worst of the bunch.) Orton looks great and Roode is an improvement over the NXT figure painted the old way. But that is all with the naked eye. But once you take a close up picture with the flash on they all look off like their facial features are smudged.

It's a step in the right direction, but it isn't a completed product yet. Jimmy uso is something I look at and am puzzled how that happened.
Side note, y'all that have jey uso, look at his face without the hair. That's jinder Mahal.

It would be helpful if someone posted closeup head shots of all that used this new tech

It would be helpful if someone posted closeup head shots of all that used this new tech I posted pics of the two I purchased (Orton & Roode) in my thread, but like I said the look great with the naked eye at a regular distance, but in a zoomed in still close up pic with a flash they don’t look good at all. Then the features look grainy & distorted.

I’m a bit OCD with my figures. Generally, I customize my own created characters for my fed and they all have to “fit” together if that makes sense.
So I don’t like using figures without the face print tech and with at the same time. So I’d rather they just stick with one or the other.

I'd give it an 8/10, it's interesting, but I wouldn't want the old style to go away completely. One particular thing I like about it, is that the paint apps more equally good compared to the old style, like proto and retail Mickie and Bobby have the same crooked eyebrow apps, so if you're blind buying you're less likely to get a botched face, like when I was choosing between 8 Randys at Walmart, there wasn't really a goofy or perfect facepaint on any of them, just all practically identical. Imo, from best to worst Jey looks like a killer Jimmy looks baked Mickie looks dead Randy just did the cinnamon challenge Bobby's turning Japanese

IMO, most of them look like shotty CAWs from a WWE video game where someone uses a texture on the face but doesn’t take into consideration the facial morphing to make it look like it should.
Edit: Not to mention they throw off the aesthetic of my collection when integrated 😜

not something that’s ever crossed my mind but actually I think it’s a good thing. Yeh some faces can look bad but it works both ways I’d say there’s more good face scans than there is bad & anyway it can only get better with technology coming on as the years pass!

Havent got any new figures. Are the whole face painted now?
I'd rather they spend the budget on more colourful attires and more propotionate body parts/sizes.

I think that they look worse than normal head scans. Maybe they will get better in time.

People are pretending that Hasbro always nailed the face printing technology from the start. I remember when they first got started there were some ugly looking face prints. Mattel just got started on implementing it, so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt. Orton, Mickie James, and Jey Uso look tremendous. That being said, Bobby Roode, Jimmy Uso, and Kofi look awful. But I’m willing to wait it out and get more product to make a final verdict.

I think there’s been a few hits, but it has a ways to go. With that being said, I hope they keep doing it. The only way it seems to get better, is for the company to keep trying it. Look at Mafex’s face printing. About a year to year and a half ago, their face printing was pretty messy and not too accurate. Now they’re killing it and putting out amazing likenesses. I think as time goes on, they’ll get better and better.

It's interesting to see different opinions on this. Some people prefer some that others think look horrible and vise versa. I like where they are going with it, but I think the new basic Roode scan coming out looks better than the EG version. I want to like the Orton, as it could be his best figure, but something about the face looks iffy. I don't like the face on the Summerslam basic Angle compared to the Elite Team Angle. One Uso looks much better than the other. Mickie James doesn't look as good as it could. The rest aren't bad. Time will tell.

I think the facial hair on this is fantastic.

The rest are meh to cringeworthy. Oh, and the last time Mickie looked like that, she called herself Alexis Laree. Come on. Did they scan her, or an old picture of her?
