Hall doen’t need an overhaul they need to just use the thicker arms and legs that the RSC figure uses. For some reason that is the only Hall figure they used them on. Whats going on with HHH mouth? Looks wonky. He’s smirking.

Looks wonky. He’s smirking. AND a non-messed up face. They took a perfectly fine Hall scan and made it worse with this new face-printing/painting technique.

Regardless of how it was painted I was never a fan of that scan because of the toothpick. The scale of it looks like he has a French fry sticking out of his mouth instead of a toothpick. I hated Jakks similar scan for the same reason. As far as the OP’s figure the only thing I see wrong with the printing is the blotch on his right cheek and the lack of beard on the chin. I’m sure the chin looks bad in hand without being in a blown up pic where every flaw is magnified, but I wonder if the blotch would still be noticeable?

I personally don't have a problem with the toothpick but see that point. For me it's not just the blotch but the whole way the beard is painted on with the new tech (the first-ever prototype they showed for this had the older, pre-face tech head and looked WAY better) and the softness of the True FX look. Might just be a pet peeve but I'm really going to have to get used to this. I know some Star Wars Black Series figures look great with the face printing but sometimes the "softness" really bothers me, especially comparing some of these to all the other WWE figures we've had now for 9 years.

I was on the fence about getting that Hall. Definitely passing now.

That's rough. Hall is the only one I look forward to in this series. Hopefully thats one of the few that looks like that. As for thr hands, I guess the fingers could be glued together.

Nice to know that when we finally get another ring gear Razor, we're going to have to do a headswap on it... and those hands and those leg sleeves.

The red & black Elite Scott is one of my all-time favorite Mattel figures period. They absolutely NAILED him (and his stubble) without TrueFX, and it's such an iconic look of his that we asked for for so long, so I'm very happy with it. Not sure how they botched the head on this new one so much, but that's just bad.

Face printing is a new technology. It will get better over time but they really should’ve held off on using it until it gets to that point. Being first isn’t necessarily being the best

another thing that bothers me but I woulda take a brand new head sculpt most likely, is the razor hair strand gimmick on the forehead. he didn't have that at this point in time.

Being first isn’t necessarily being the best. Well they're far from the first and definitely not the best.

Best thing about this hall figure is the painted boot lace rivets
