This is not necessarily a discussion about about bad figures, just figures that you were really looking forward to that just didn't hit the mark. I was thinking about this topic earlier so I figured I would ask. Which figures, if any, upon hearing of their impending release were you excited for but disappointed by the final product? The ones that come to mind for me are:
Maryse: Strange, boring outfit choice, the head looked strange, and the body just looked off
Basic 4 Regal: They more than made up for it with the awesome Elite 8 Regal, but I really didn't like anything about the Basic 4. The head looked like an old Jakks head and the hair looked weird. I didn't like the body choice and the Made in England tattoo just said England
Flashback Papa Shango: After the awesome CS version I was hoping for more from Mattel, but the facial expression was dull and the overall fig just looked off
FB Yoko: Whats with the arms and upper torso? Too much muscle. I have it displayed with the robe open.
Elite 5 Swagger: I don't really know why I cared, but I was looking forward to it and thought the final product was terrible
DM Michaels: I was hoping for a better head with a beard, but they used the same Elite 3 awful head
Elite 6 Goldust: Waaaay too skinny. Its ok with the robe, but without its too skinny
2 Packs 2 Carlito and Primo: Just awful heads on both, but they made up for it with the awesome 2 packs 5
Legends 2 Rick Rude: Good head, obscure outfit that I dont at all associate with Rude
Elite 8 Edge: the rat face is just too much to overcome
That's all I can think of for now

For me mankind was a bit of a disappointment. Great fig but way too small. I know some people don't see a huge discrepancy but I do. I replaced the lower legs with some tall boots and its great now but initially I was disappointed after being so happy to find it in stores.

E15 Yokozuna - I know hes an enormous guy but mine literally will not stand up without a stand. Too top heavy.
L1 Slaughter- Why would you ever do anything other than camo attire?
L3 Mr. Perfect - too tall and lanky. Noodle arms. Would love mattel to take another crack at him.

Trent Barreta. Head overall is too big, and the eyes are on the large side, as well. Awkward forehead wrinkles. Trunks with painted black legs and small knee designs. Personally I would've preferred kneepads over tights like they did with the RS Bret Hart. But anything would've been better than trunks with painted legs. That just seems lazy IMO. At least we got a Trent, I guess... but for all the hype/planning/time they put into that one, it ended up a mess. Real life black sin cara was just a repaint. You just like complaining Except for the fact that (going by billed weights) the black sin cara was 3 inches taller and 25 pounds heavier... Again, though, at least we got a figure of him.

L1 Slaughter- Why would you ever do anything other than camo attire? True...I think he wore his Legends outfit at some point with Mid-Atlantic, I remember seeing him in it in a video about his match against Iron Sheik. While I don't mind this obscure outfit choice, I would have definitely snapped up the camo without hesitation. Mayhaps Matty will rectify it one day in a Flashback.

I agree with most of these except for Goldust and Shawn Michaels which I think look great. As for the Swagger figure, none of his figures look like him. By the way, what about Jinder Mahal, many including myself believe it looks nothing like him.

I thought the Layla figure was disappointing. Her head was gigantic and the scan doesn't really look like her.

Mankind is definitely at the top of my list. Overall, just a really weak attempt. I'm praying a potential Dude Love or Cactus Jack will be better.

I think Liz gets away with falling short because its the only one we will ever get. I've yet to see it in person but when I do I will buy it. Even tho the consensus is that shes disappointing..........Macho needs a partner!

Yeah Rude looks great but his attire is not even close to being one of his most memorable ones and they shouldve gave him his signature mullet-perm!

how they could have been better Maryse: put her in one of her well know attires like her glitter one or something and give her her curly hair
Basic 4 Regal: fix the tattoo and make him fatter with a better scan
Flashback Papa Shango: make fatter and better scan
FB Yoko: i love this figure but the arms needed to be much fatter
Elite 5 Swagger: they still dont have a good scan but his are all so bad and the attire was horrible toI was hoping for a better head with a beard, but they used the same Elite 3 awful head DM Michaels: yes! a new scan that one was horrible
Elite 6 Goldust: i didnt minnd the figure just with it to be a little fatter
2 Packs 2 Carlito and Primo: i liked there second pack better also but this one was okay they should have had better scans
Elite 8 Edge: i loved the scan lol
