It’s really cartoony. This new one looks way better. Wow -- I can't believe you'd describe this as cartoony. I'd say the 100% opposite -- it looks so real.
The elite 22? |

I'm 50/50 on this Giant scan. It looks great, but the hair looks odd. It should be closer to the face on the sides. I'm guessing a new elite Giant has to be in the works. I'm also happy to see a bowl cut Flair, but the scan looks weird imo, looks more like a soccer mom.

That bowl cut Flair needs to be an elite.

I had to pass on E22 Giant after seeing it in person since the scan was so bad. Now I'm going to have to track one down for a swap.

Had mixed feelings about the flair scan but looking at pics from the mid 90’s it’s really not bad, it’s not quite the bowl cut he had but more when he started growing it again before the spiked hair in late 90’s.  |

I just got mine too. Good riddance to one of the worst Mattel headscans.  At least they didn’t get the hair embarrassingly wrong on the first one. Six in one hand, half-dozen in the other. I love you. |

This Giant has one of the best head scan IMO

I wish these were elites. I always did like that color scheme on Flair

He said the elite 22 is cartoony.... |

If they had just made Giant's hair a little shorter (like the Elite) and a lighter brown, it would look so much better...

I'm also happy to see a bowl cut Flair, but the scan looks weird imo, looks more like a soccer mom. Yeah, Giant's hairline wasn't so receded like this figure's. Makes it look like a wig. I wonder if removing it with heat and placing it better would work. I agree about Flair, too. I like the new hair, but something is off with his face. Still, for Basics, they're decent enough to buy. |

That's a fantastic Charles Robinson figure.

That might be a good idea. Maybe even gluing the sides so they don’t stick out as much. Flair’s hair looks like it’s a separate piece. I think it might possible to swap it onto another Flair with some dremelimg. |

Something about Flair's hair looks off to me. It's not the mushroom/bowl cut that he actually had. The face itself looks fine. Giant still looks like modern Big Show in a wig IMO.

I disagree about this not looking like a young Paul Wight. I’m looking at pics of The Giant from WCW and this face looks pretty spot on to me, about as good as you can expect for a classic guy imo. I’m just talking about the face itself. I agree with the criticism about the hair. The Big Show has aged really well over the years. So it does look like Big Show and it also looks like The Giant.
