they’reso much more detailed and have a blurry kind of look.makes the basic paintjob on the old ones look so outdated ,even the lastest Neville elite isn’t and the eyes are horrilby painted...

They have that "dot matrix" application to them, so they're less refined but at a distance, looks SO much more realistic.

Even on some of the pre true fx heads the eyes have the same grainy look.

Yup. Most FX faces have the worse paint app jobs.

I didn't like the new True FX at all, but I think they're getting better and finally working out the kinks from when they initially switched to that technology.
When a head comes out good, it looks really good. But if it's the least bit bad, it looks pretty terrible.
I think they're getting the hang of it though, thankfully.

Has anyone talked about how hard it is to remove those paint apps?
Acetone does not work the same. Its like trying to remove the paint with water

I think they’re using more of an ink, rather than a paint for this new tech

It always looks like the person is crying. Like they are tearing up.

Again some are better than others but the ones that are on are amazing. The b100 HBK sculpt/scan is so superior it makes it hard for me to even look at some of the older hbk figs

I absolutely love True FX - Hasbro are nailing it too with Star Wars and Marvel Legends. The major problem is that it doesn't translate well to photos so you really have to see the figure in hand to appreciate it.

Sometimes it's so-so, but when it works, it's incredible.
King Mabel is almost eerie. It's so good it just looks like a miniature person.

I’ll be honest, I like what the true fx paint jobs look like. However, the eyes are something I’m not particularly fond of yet. They just look pretty bad and almost artificial like (no pun intended). I prefer the full blandish look of the old paint jobs to the eyes where I could paint in the white dots as opposed to the grainy almost sticker like eyes of true fx.
