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! Yes that is a hand from the KMART Cena Raw exclusive.

No need for any fighting amongst yourselves, boys and girls. Just check out the closeup pics from Rodrigues13's "Epic Target Find!!!" thread. forum.wrestlingfigs.com/thread/321004/epic-target-findWindham head from the box set is obviously a remodded Christian head. Just look at the eyes. Almost makes you think a mistake was made in production. Bandalero's custom with the Jakks head looks awesome. I was watching during the Horsemen era and I can tell you that that head is pretty-much spot on.

Reminds me a lot of my galoob Windham, which was a favorite of mine, so I'm good with it. It isn't perfect but I wouldn't say terrible. Love the set as a whole, not crazy about Flair's head, but I just swapped it with his basic.

Other then the body being too skinny/ripped....he looks perfect to me. Sure the beard could be better but Mattel (and even JAKKS) has shown us that doing beards are very hard to do. With a few part swaps, Barry IMO is one of the best figures out there It's an awesome figure, this post made me chuckle a little though bro, other than too skinny, and the beard not being right, it's still "perfect" lol The torso choice was the only thing I held against the figure. Mattel and JAKKS both have shown that unless the beard is a full bush beard like a Sandow, or Wyatt type, they cant do beards. Neither company has been able to do the 5 o clock shadow or scruffy look. I think its unfair to hold that against any company. Once I swapped out the torso, to me the figure is perfect. I think it looks just like Windham.

It's not perfect, but I actually think it looks really good. The beard is fine and the face looks like him, especially when he made that face. The only things I'm going to fix when I get him is painting a glove or tape on the right hand and putting BW on the back of his trunks. The torso could have been bigger, but it doesn't bother me. A) He has the vest and B) I'm not doing a part switch for him. I am debating switching the Flair heads though.

I couldn't care less about the Horsemen, or Barry Windham, so I won't be buying one. It's funny though, that anyone who says anything negative towards Mattel, is supposedly a "JAKKS fanboy". Some people just don't worship at the altar of Mattel and everything they put out.

We are lucky to have even got a Barry or Tito really. I don't think many on here thought those would be done and it certainly opens the doors for others if they sell well

The Windham scan isnt nearly as bad as people are acting like it is. It clearly is of him and looks nothing like a retooled Christian head, which is just asinine to think in the first place. The problem with the head is the problem that Mattel (and Jakks) has had many times, just as I stated before, its hard to paint a simple 5'o clock shadow/scruffy face.

just got the pack. aside from the poorly painted scruff the sculpt is on the soft side. but i agree it's acceptable in person just on the weaker side of MDT's work. especially compared to the epic arn & tully sculpts and the new flair sculpt

I think it'd work great for a Kurt Angle

After getting it today, I think it is significantly better in person.
That Tito scan on the other hand? Woof.

Does anyone have a side shot?
I searched google images Barry Windham four horseman.
I just don't get the thought process.
"Lets get the most obscure photo possible of Barry Windham, not looking like Barry Windham, and use that."
He should be bleach blonde, beardless, and no anger needed.
