Ah , my wallet's going to hate me if I see all 4 Harlem Heat at once. Luckily that just looks to be a single QC issue and not widespread You're probably right. I only asked because I saw My Damn Toys and Alex West Collects' Takers had the same double stache too Hopefully that's just luck of the draw and not say, an issue from a certain batch/run at a certain time. It could just be like when eyes, facial hair, eyebrows can miss the mark from head to head/figure to figure and is not representative of the whole. Plenty of Takers out there look fine so checking in person may be best if these are available to you or anyone else reading.

I don't know about dead on, but the yelling/open-mouthed head is the best of the lot. The other two aren't great, though. I think the yelling sculpt is terrible and looks like an old man Bret. I personally think the snarling scan is the best out of the three and that’s not saying much. The same goes for the RVD ultimate. The screaming scan looks like an old man Van Dam. All around sculpt with the glasses on or off this is my favorite or the three. The eyes could be less stoned. Followed by this one which I feel is the best with the glasses on hiding the stoned eyes. The snarling scan has the least stoned eyes of the three, but that snarl looks brutal.

Wow guys I got really lucky this evening. I was making my rounds and when I rounded the toy section at one of my Wal Marts I see a dude standing there holding the only Piper. I got to talking to him and it turns out he's a new collector that only started last year. He was thinking about buying the Piper but I told him that he may be able to find one on sale at Ringside.. but the joke was on him because Ringside doesn't sell store exclusives and I was able to score a Piper!! D#ck move.

If there's a correct version out there I'll have to track one down

PJ you know after those high quality pics, they all look even worse than I thought. Wow… Yep, I’m swapping that sculpt with the straight faced scan that we spoke about the other day. Btw, if anyone has the new Ultimate Cody, it would be a great base for a surfer Sting. Although, I do think maybe the Flair torso with big arms would work better. I hope somewhere down the line Mattel gives us the option to swap torsos.

Found piper/bret last night. Only picked up piper. Today nothing. Any streetdate update? Seems like every store should have them now but most stores still haven't finished the reset.

Those headscans look like something from the old BCA days. How did Mattel manage to pass this before release. 🤭

How did Mattel pass any of the head scans for Bret before being released.

Are those Bret heads the worst Mattel has ever done? I'm thinking yes, but they are for sure the worst Bret heads Mattel has ever done. Keep the glasses on. Now. Then. Forever.

Bret Hart gets shafted so much, I'm surprised he can walk straight.

If true that’s a total dick move. And if so I hope your figures come alive at night and the Piper does this to all your Hogan figures!
