Hey I was just wondering why we got the DA 4 headscan for JBL instead of the new one that was advertised in the protos?

Wasn't it just a bad photoshop job done on the back of the DA10 packaging with the old RA head..

The prototype showed an unquestionably new smiling scan. Its likely that as they were entering production, Jakks just decided that it wasn't a smart business move to introduce a new scan for JBL here. They'd only used his original DA scan once, after all. Why go through the effort of tooling a new mold when they can just use an earlier one. We may see the scan eventually, but I tend to agree with their call. The first DA scan is actually very underrated and has a lot of personality that fits with his announcer attire. And lets be an honest, an announcer isn't where we want Jakks investing in new parts.

Without getting the figure, we cannot be certain since both scans would be of the same person and could look similiar. Jakks has used different scans of the same pose before, but differences can still be seen. The eyes look a little different and the mouth seems to be angled slightly different as well. It might be nothing, but this is the sort of thing that only a close examination could reveal and since the figure wasn't made we can't be certain. While I recognize that there are a lot of points of similarity, I tend to think its a new take on a smiling pose.

Compare a proto to the DA 10 JBL, Then compare a Proto to the Great American Bash PPV 10 JBL and see that there the exact same headscans. |

I did compare them. I'll grant that the similarities are closer than I realized, but there are still some distinct differences that can't be attributed to paint and similarities could be because they are both scans of the same person. I am not as certain as I initially was that it is a new scan, but I don't think certainty that its the same is warranted, either.

You guys have got to be kidding me. It was not a new scan. It was just a repainted AD12 scan, the one that came with OJ.

IMO It's the AD12 scan. one thing I've learned with Jakks and new headscans, is if there is any doubt - it's probably the same scan.
Jakks hardly ever makes similar headscans. some examples off the top of my head where they did:
AD8 Bubba Ray - this scan has been retooled from the TTL one
CS15 Razor Ramon - the scan has been enlarged and retooled from the R3 one
RA10 Chris Jericho - the scan has been enlarged and retooled from the TTL smirking scan
DA Randy Orton - the scan has a slightly different hair-sculpt to the RA straight-faced scan
DA Vince McMahon - the scan has been enlarged and retooled from, the TTL scan, with new hair sculpt too.
I must admit though, I do find it strange the amount of people on WF who can't tell the difference between paint/lighting and sculpt. People sometimes describe a "new" scan as having a darker beard or facepaint (ie AD Rico)
