Terrible terrible attitude. You shouldn't be grateful just because they made it "no matter what." They could've released his head on Yokozuna's body and you would've been happy with that attitude. No good. That is a big difference!! First of all, they can't really scan Barry Windham to look like what he did in 1988. So I think the head scan is pretty good! Secondly, my attitude is just fine. I wanted a Barry Windham figure, that's a Barry Windham figure, so to me, Mattel came through. And at the end of the day, they are just toy action figures. And if your day is spent worrying about a proper face scan, or body torso on an action figure, then more power to ya I guess. Perhaps _ wants to go back to the Remco way of likenesses

No good. okay, accurately describe Jack Swagger's last elite figure. Lacking in height and mass, as shown by the more accurate basic figures of the last few years. What does that have to do with anything?

It undeniably sucks, but I wouldn't say it's any worse than any other time they used that body on its previous releases. Maybe it is worse since they updated the basic and not the elite. Worst figure though? I'd have to think about that.

I think people are being too kind to Mattel. They could have atleast changed the hand sculpts to give us the 4 horsemen sign. Angry face scans tend to not work neither, I wish they used a normal face scan for him. Arn and Tully are the same face scans from the original two figures, right? Not exactly value for money in this set. If you're happy paying $50 go ahead but I certainly wont be paying at that price.

Funny that you said Christian. I made a custom Windham a while back using his head. [/URLIs that hand from the Kmart exclusive Cena? That's actually a pretty genius alternative!

I'm surprised people are fine with the Windham as I recall so many people being annoyed with the Jakks two-pack Horsemen set for mixing and matching them up. I'd be fine with the set if Sid was in there instead of Tully, but I wish we had more of the look Barry had for the majority of his time near the top in NWA (and as the U.S. Express in WWF). The Widowmaker look is so specialized and doesn't do much for me. Maybe that'll change when we get a Surfer Sting and Sid.
The price for the set is great though. Really hard to complain about that and getting the best secondary tight colors for Tully and Arn and a matching one for Flair with the DM robe.

People were complaining about the Jakks releases just yesterday. People here tend to ignore Mattel's mistakes, even when they're the same mistakes they make fun of Jakks for. It's really weird. They get super defensive about it too.

I don't think this will be the only mattel Barry. 3/4 of the figures from this set has been released in singles and I'm sure Barry will get his turn.

From the pics I've seen, I like the head.

I'm not a big fan of Windham's head scan. I don't see much of a likeness, but maybe that will change if/when I have it in hand. If Mattel had nailed the likeness, I think it would have improved the chances of this set moving.

Is it mattels greatest fig ever? Nope Is it mattels worst fig ever? Nope
The headscan is ok. I would've preferred if the top of the head was slightly darker. But how perfect do you want it? This fig was based roughly off of his 1988 run. Remember, that is 27 years ago! It's not like they could've scanned him like they do with someone on the current roster today. I personally love the fig, and cannot wait to add it in my collection ASAP.
Also, Mattel, just like anyone, cannot satisfy all. I'm sure there are figs you love that I hate, and vice versa. Nothing will ever be able to reach a state of perfection for all.

Don't get so defensive guys
Personally I think the sculpt kinda sucks myself. I don't think it looks much like wind ham but otherwise I think the figures pretty cool. Probably would have been better if they went with a more iconic horseman attire.i don't like the new flair head either but that's my opinion
Tully and arn on the other hand are damn near perfect

Anyone who doesn't like their Barry Windham figure, feel free to PM a shipped offer. I think he's awesome and the only Horsemen I still need.
