So I was out scouting my local Smyths toys for any new stock and noticed they had the new Basic Series 91 in stock (in the UK) and also some of the new battle packs. After picking up Red Finn Balor and Drew Gulak - to convert to elites later down the line, I spotted the B-Team Battle pack and took at look at it.. I checked it out and saw this and wondered why it looked really odd. After comparing a few sets and seeing how good this scan is for Bo Dallas, its interesting to see that some are still making it out like this. I also checked a few Balors before getting one as some of them were either slightly misaligned or had marks on their faces. Luckily Gulak looked great. Started converting Gulak already Some of these TrueFX scans are awesome and its cool to see them on Basics, was a bit bummed out that these new basics have "solid" arms now and cant be swapped out onto elites anymore, i guess they really are going more basic with them.

Cool figs! I've seen a lot of misprinted faces when going out to the store. Looks like the FDA isn't the only quality control being furloughed!

That's easily one of Bo's best head-scans from Mattel. It seems they have trouble getting the certain guys facial hair right on most guys with the regular and true fx heads.

Yeah, you gotta buy them in person. Tho I think the majority of these FX guys look pretty bad.

I hate the new FX. They look terrible. Entrance Greats Goldberg looks like a drag queen with a beard. It is not good. And if you look closely, it blurs and messes with your eyes. I've seen a GM Kurt Angle that had his eye paint sprayed next to his eye. It completely missed the eye mold. The most I ever saw before were wonky pupils, never entire eyes that missed the socket completely.

True FX itself isn't bad, it's just Mattel's implementation of it.

I’m starting to get on board with true FX. They’re getting better with making them look more realistic, but I’m finding more and more figures with misprinted faces.

It's hit or miss. The ones that are done perfectly look really good. But when they are slightly off, it ruins the entire figure. I have seen a lot in the stores where the faces are printed slightly off. Lips painted on chins...eyebrows on foreheads, eyes where eyebrows should be.....

I'm 50/50 on the trueFX paintjobs. The eyes always look weird imo and the facial hair are usually glossy. Sometimes I prefer the regular paintjobs...

I noticed the facial hair isn’t painted correctly on every real FX figure I’ve gotten. Just got Eric Young from Amazon and the top of his beard isn’t painted.

I made a thread about this ages ago about the FX being terrible and got shot down, ofcourse as time has went on, people agree.
