A number of today’s prototypes looked off. I know the key word should be “prototypes” but I don’t ever recall AEW prototypes looming quite like these. It’s almost as if they have moved backwards from scanning to sculpting with a few of the figures. Eddie Kingston looked like QT Marshall. Cody and Kenny Omega looked like they had that anime face issue that Okada and Cardona suffer from with their Super7 figures. Taz, Brian Cage, and Miro seemed a bit off as well.
Other figures like Christian, Thunder Rosa, Hobbs, and suited Cody looked fantastic…so is this just a case of continued inconsistency?

I think there were more bad face scans shown today, then in almost of the figures released so far -- which is a shame....

I don’t know. Brian Cage and Miro look perfectly fine to me. Eddie Kingston is the only one that is truly awful. Suited Cody looks a little whacky with how his mouth is open, but the likeness is there. Personally I thought the reveals were pretty awesome and don’t have much to look at negatively aside from Kingston.

I didn’t scrutinize every pic as there were a bunch of wrestlers shown I don’t plan on buying but the only “bad” one That stood out to me was the Eddie Kingston. There were a couple like Britt where they had painted the eyes unveiled but the likeness in the sculpt was there.

IMO Eddie and Christian was the only ones that looked rough and I wasnt a fan of the CM Punk legs on the common but it was so many great things shown today that I’m excited for that I can over look a couple things that I wasn’t that interested in in the first place.

Can anyone find a photo of Taz where he looks remotely similar to his figure head scan?

Gotta disagree on Christian was the most realistic looking one to me. |

Gotta disagree on Christian was the most realistic looking one to me. I can see the resemblance there but imo he looked way older then he actually is,hopefully it looks better in hand. |

I didn't hate them as much as some clearly did. Most looked decent to good. But I felt like overall the head quality is going to be more animated or catroony. A lot of the open mouth or yelling scans don't look great, imo.
Hopefully the final products look better. But I do wonder if something has changed behind the scenes, either in terms of internal designers or the third party scanning company they're working with.

Just saw the Cody supreme - I think the one my son has with the throne smasher tshirt (series 4?) is a million times better face wise
Punks awful
I find jazwares either smash it out the park (luchasauris) or they’re really really bad
The older mjf’s have much better face scans - why are they messing round with perfectly good scans making them worse?

I also think the problem with many is it’s hand painted prototypes. Cody’s likeness will be far superior in final production, same for omega and guys like taz.
Christian had time to be improved to make him look less old.
Kingston though…. WOOF. Literally looks like a reused TTL bubba Ray. Just throw it in the trash and start over on that one honestly.

Some look way better than others, but given that this seems to be a running issue with AEW physical PTO types, I want to see the actual figures first.
That said, I don’t think I’d count the Punk head as one of the questionable ones. Looked fine to me TBH. Not a fan of the static expression, but the likeness seemed relatively on-point.
