So far not a big fan. Just for the fact it throws off the continuity with earlier figures.

I love it. Again, ALL things are a bit hit n miss. Overall its making the figures better. I have about 8-10 figs by now w the faceprint tech and in 90% of those cases it looks improved and more detailed

If we're talking about the technology in general, which is what the thread title insists, then it's great for things like action figures. The real question is, do people like the results of action figures using said face printing technology.

Like almost every issue to ever plague humanity: "It depends on the situaton."
I've liked most of the stuff so far, but when they're misses...cripes! They miss it out of the ballpark lol

Looks terrible, they should go back to the previous method.

Roode was awful theres no way I would have bought him had I seen his face close up. The eyes are blurred and the stubble looks off as well, just very bad.

Just saw pics of Edge and Jeff Hardy and they look as awful as the Dean Ambrose. I won't be buying any of these butterface figs.
Edit, the Sami Zayn even looks bad. Besides the Rollins these all look really bad. They need to go back to how they did the faces before.

Why do so many figures using this new technology look as though they're wearing eye-liner and heavy make-up? It's really weird.

I recently bought Mattels little Jurassic Park Grant/Sattler/Muldoon figures. They seem to use face printing & look awesome!
Mattel's printing is not at the quality of Hasbro yet. That new 6" Cloud City Leia is amazing compared to the old 6" Slave Leia they did. Worlds apart.
Mattel will get better.
To me, this technology is a game changer for the world of figurines (action figures/dolls/statues). Couldn't be happier it is taking off & getting better all the time.

I’ll tell you one thing, they need to take that big ass logo off of the boxes. And why does it have to be on both the front and the back?

The thing I can't stand about mattel figs is how lazily the faces are painted. They're just solid plastic with eyes and hair. This tech seems to atleast add more variety in paint on the faces, so that's good. Even if that Dean Ambrose looks horrifying.

It's a hit and miss, the ones that are a hit turn out perfect and almost lifelike, then the misses turn out horrible and are better off burned.
Hit: Jey Uso, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Undisputed Era, Kevin Owens, AOP & Samoa Joe
Miss: Bobby Roode, Jimmy Uso, Dean Ambrose, Sami Zayn, Matt Hardy & Edge

I think the problems with the new face printing are the same problems with the traditional paint apps. The sculpts on the figures are great, but poorly-placed paint can ruin the likeness. Same with the new printing; placed correctly, they look great, but otherwise the figure looks nothing like the wrestler.

They either look incredible or laughable!
