Mattel has nailed some facial sculpts with just the perfect likeness. Others, not so much. In my opinion, they just finally got rick rude right. Some characters have multiple figures and something seems off. The face just doesn't look right. Which characters stand out to you as far as not quite right?
Bret Hart ....every figure I've seen looks off. The hair, the face, just seems wrong and sometimes could be mistaken for billy Kidman or someone else.
King Kong Bundy doesn't look right. Aside from the bald head and attire, I dont see it as king kong bundy
Big bossman. Sure the hair and goatee are right but the face doesn't really capture his look properly.
Hulk hogan. This seems a given for such an iconic appearance. I just feel like the mattel hogan figures so far dont look right. They haven't captured his facial expressions or the tan and hair color and presence of hogans face.
Tugboat/typhoon. Just doesnt look right and doesnt capture his look.
Hillbilly jim just kind of added long hair and beard and bushy eyevrows to a generic face.

i'd say macho man. the best likeness of him is from the then, now, forever series and even that one wasn't perfect. second best was elite 23, but it looks almost...sad? i guess? i feel like that one could benefit from the modern truefx. the worst part about those 2 sculpts is that they've both been used only once

Definitely Bret Hart. Although that's not a Mattel thing, Jakks could never get his face right either and he never looks like Bret in any of the video games. i'd say macho man. the best likeness of him is from the then, now, forever series and even that one wasn't perfect. second best was elite 23, but it looks almost...sad? i guess? i feel like that one could benefit from the modern truefx. the worst part about those 2 sculpts is that they've both been used only once The WM8 Macho head nailed him I think.

The head on Shockmaster is a great tugboat head.

Edge I think stands out to me the most. There’s been decent heads, I personally think the RSC head is the best but genuinely none of looked like edge in my opinion. Hopefully now that he’s back we can see a turn around and see a cool head done but yeah.

Savage, Bret and Hogan are the three big ones for me. I don't buy the "there's no good reference pictures" argument either. There's a ton of footage of those guys on the WWE Network upscaled to 1080p from really good master tapes to begin with. There's no excuse for the head sculpts to suck as badly as they do.

I don’t know, that WrestleMania XXX Bret is spot-on imo. They’ve just made a mess of all of the other versions. I’d 100% agree they haven’t gotten the hair right. Similar to HOF Diesel. Perfect scan, but they should have gone with the 95 hair on it instead of the early 94 look.
I’d definitely agree with Edge.

Bret Hart is the first one that pops to mind.

Bret and Savage. But then again, those are my two favorite wrestlers, so maybe I'm a little harsh.
An easy fix for Bret is to stop using the hair in front of his face. It looks like dreadlocks.

This is the reason I didn't buy the ultimate. I'm not paying top dollar for Bret Hart with dreadlocks. Awful.

Shawn Michaels. I don;t like a single Michaels figure. I don't think they got his likeness right in the face or body.

Edge figures are the biggest disaster produced by Mattel completely wrong body type trash headscan and a solid steel coat.

I think the King Kong Bundy head is great. As far as Bret goes, the BOPPV Bret head is by far the best. They have definitely yet to nail Edge.
