The smirking HBK scan is better than the yelling one, but not by much.

Why not give HBK heel expressions? You can tell whoever is making these figures at Mattel is not a fan.
There’s no way this makes it to the production line if a fan was over seeing this.

Love a good HBK figure but this is an easy pass for me.

HBK would probably look better with TRUE FX. His face has no texture it makes him look like a ken doll lmao

The smirking HBK head looks like a Ken doll head.

Pass on Brock, probably still pick up HBK. May wait to see how the faces look in hand. At least they fixed the arm length issue, he no longer can touch his kneepads standing upright. Would have been better had he come with the European title and a cocky smirk facial expression like in the picture crush posted.

I’m pretty sure this is what they were going for: Nah not at all. The face in the box is the babyface expression of “YEAH!” pumping up the crowd. The second face that was revealed is clearly a smile.

Oh I don’t think they did it well, but this kind of smirk is clearly what the smile is supposed to be. I actually think the other one is supposed to be anger not “oh yeah” but again, I don’t think either is executed well.

The yelling face looks better to me than the smirk. If only because the yelling head actually resembles Shawn. I wish they'd done a sculpt more like the Jakks classic superstars two-pack version of this figure with the cocky smirk and the beard.
I've said elsewhere, but the WMXIV and Basic 100 Shawn head sculpts are better. I think I'll use the basic 100 on this figure, since it's close to the hairstyle he had during this match.

these Ultimates really rub me the wrong way. I dislike any of the ones that dont have the jacket arms gimmick.
what is Ultimate about this line? Do they have unique sculpts made just for that wrestler? Not really. Are they more accurate than an elite? Not really.
Do they come with tons of accessories u dont get with an elite? not really.
If ur making an "ULTIMATE HBK"...u would think maybe u want to get the hair color correct. Or maybe u actually want to do his high waisted trunks with a short and wide torso. Maybe u make the boots a little smaller and not the huge kickpad size.
If u making "ULTIMATE BROCK"...wouldn't the first thing u want to do is give him ungloved hands as an accessory, and give him cloth track pants and a bunch of different cloth sleeveless shirts? Wouldn't u think to maybe give him cloth shorts? Or a different more reddish blotchy skintone like he has mid match?
As some positives. The Brock is one of the only Ultimates that the new torso looks good on. HBK's entrance gear is cool.

Seeing the other HBK head, I'm more enthused than I was originally. I'm still sold but I want to see what the B100 head looks like on him, but I feel they did capture the cockiness he had coming into the match.
Not totally impressed with Lesnar but I'd be lying if I said they didn't try. Just not my thing, the E55 was more or less perfect.

Well, I have to be fair and admit that they look a lot better in these newer pics.
But damn, 10 years in and they STILL can't get HBK's hair color right lol
