I originally placed an order on Amazon UK in July after missing the initial preorder before SDCC but ended up cancelling after it came back in stock on the US site since it was a lot cheaper. I was pretty disappointed to see that the US site won't delivery till next year so I ended up ordering off UK again since people were actually receiving theirs. So glad to finally have this in my collection. Anyways I saw that there was a failed delivery attempt on Amazon so I got worried and decided to ask for more information on the online chat. This was how the conversation went after my initial inquiry lol...  Here are some pics. Aside from the large torso, this figure is perfection. Not a fan of the normal scan, but the screaming one is definitely the best Jeff Hardy headscan ever. I also love how it came packaged in its own individual shipper box.    Really not sure why they decided to change the main plate of the spinner belt... Looks so much worse and inaccurate. The old one (on the bottom) was perfect.  And unfortunately while reviewing my pictures, I noticed the one I was keeping MOC has 2 of the same normal heads... Good thing it wasn't one that I opened at least.  |

That's an interesting conversation for sure. Pretty cool to find a random fan in that situation, though.
And major bummer with the two regular heads. I'm not sure what I'd do (stick with it for my MOC or try for another).

Thanks for the photos and the review. Contact Mattel and they will definitely be able to help with your two regular heads error although they don't offer replacement parts unfortunately.

I will contact them to see what they can do. Sucks but at least the one I opened to display have the screaming scan. I'd be pissed if I opened the one with the same heads lol |

Same problem with my Austin Figure and my Rock Figure, waiting since 4 weeks for a reply. How did you contact them? I always use their FB page and get an answer within a few hours asking for more info and photos. That is bad luck to have had it happen with two different figures in a row. |

Quality online customer service regarding questions on expected delivery of a product. What a concept.

Nice. It's an awesome figure, so if it were me I'd keep all of them. Then that one becomes a variant instead of an error. haha |

I still don't know how you can get over that huge torso. Next to the real picture of him, it looks so off...

Ordered him off the US site that was supposed to be fulfilled by amazon uk and it still hasn’t shipped.

Imagine making such a bad figure hard to find. The faces are good, and I need another spinner belt for RVD, but no way am I ordering a crap figure from overseas Amazon. How very dumb. Both elite 2 pack versions are better. Why is that torso so large? Now we’re recycling wrong parts on 30-35$ figures? Hell out of here Mattel…

In person with the the tanktop on, the torso is not as bad as it looks. But without it, then its pretty bad.
Even standing him next to my other Hardy Elites it looks perfectly fine.
