His Jakks TNA scan is ranked high up there too IMO. (Ignore the dollar store body/articulation lol) Wow best I’ve seen.

I’m okay with the UE heads, but they’re not great. As others have said, the screaming one is the best. The bandana and sunglasses hide a lot of the imperfections on all of them though. I’m still very happy with it and I have it pre-ordered.
As for the Jakks Hogan heads, I don’t like the expressions on all of them but they absolutely do a better job of capturing Hogan’s likeness than the UE ones do imo. I’m not some Jakks Classic Superstars fanboy either. I never owned any of them and I have hundreds of Mattels.

As it's been said the screaming scan is really well done. I'm a bit iffy on the others.

IMO they are the best Hogan scans ever released. The Jakks and spam ones were awful and I wasn't a fan of the previous ones from Mattel either.

You have to be on some monkey-juggling crack to think that R3 scan is better than the UE versions.
I love you.

His Jakks TNA scan is ranked high up there too IMO. (Ignore the dollar store body/articulation lol) I don't understand how JAKKS head sculpts/scans hold up much better than most of Mattels. Thats one of the best Hogans I've seen (head wise)

Mattels headscans are legit ok only 75% of the time. 25% are legit trash. Miz, Becky, Bret Hart just to think of some are heads that mattel never ever gets right.

Unless you are talking about the painting I don’t understand how people still try to make this a Mattel/Jakks argument when Gentle Giant Studios did the 3D scanning for both companies. So if anything it’s a Gentle Giants thing. And if it is about painting that Havok Unleashed Hogan head above isn’t painted very well.

Just last night i was watching WWF Smackdown from january 2000 and the Gentle Giant studios bus can be seen when DX and I think Kane were in the parking lot with the DX Express. I didnt realize they did the scanning for both,imo theyve gone down hill drastically, maybe a different plastic? Also the paint is way worse with mattel, seems they use as little paint as possible with them.

Right, not completely knocking Mattel but with the technology we have today the heads should be miles better imo. They still need to work on Edge and even Kanes mask.

Yes but when I'm discussing this I'm referring to Mattel because they're the ones that gives the OK to mass produce these.

We’re comparing the heads on figures released by one company to those released by another company. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. It doesn’t have to be taken as an indictment on Mattel. Obviously figures will vary in quality. I think the majority of recent Mattel figures have had great head sculpts.

The headscan on the basic Series 97 Miz is great too. I actually think it’s one of Mattel’s best.

(Ignore the dollar store body/articulation lol) This one is great as well, idk why Mattel misses big on Hogan’s.C.M punks,Edges(until now)and various other guys . Outside of the very questionable look of his Mania 29 vs Taker scan, I think Mattel did a pretty job with Punk.

R3 Hogan scan. I thought it was pretty good...definitely shows his age but it was a good representation of Hogan at the time. 🤷♂️
Jakks hogans were good but a lot of them had sculpted bandanas and that kinda sucked in my opinion There’s a lot that Jakks did that were so much better than Mattel head scan wise but I’d pick a Mattel Body over Jakks any day!
I loved the first couple of series of BCAs in the mid/late 90s (maybe cause it was the new thing I don’t know) but after a few years I was super hyped for the new line at the time after seeing it in a toy magazine...that was the TTL...BIG DISAPPOINTMENT then the R3 Tech series had cool scans crap body’s! Then the Ruthless Aggression series came out and the first figure I got was Scott Steiner and it was cool! But then I started to notice my Undertaker had the same body as Scott Steiner lol....Let’s just say I didn’t buy many JAKKS figures after 2002 or so.
Have 100+ Mattel Legends/Classic Superstars though

Screaming head is deece. Others are poor.
That isn’t why I’m not buying it though. I don’t care for the look of the added articulation, and especially the price. Wish it was just a standard Elite.
