HBK scans are bad. From his Network Spotlight Pat Sajak scan to his UE HBKen doll scan to the horrible deer in the headlights scan from E19/Lost legends/RSC DX IHY/battle pack.
HBK scan from elite series WM 30 (WM 14 attire) is spot on. Why that scan hasn’t been used again, is a shame. His scan from elite series WM 33 (WM 12 attire) is at best, average.
Ken Shamrock is really bad. Also Faarooq, DDP, Bret Hart.

Long hair triple h always looks bad. The short haired versions kick ass.
Bret hart. Ugh.
Carmella. Even her otherwise perfect elite suffers in the face.
Sasha banks. Not even close yet.

Alexa Bliss comes to mind. See I think the first two scans (the scowling one used on her first basic and I believe Survivor Series elite, and the one first used with the Harley Quinn look) were actually good likenesses for her. The past two (one of which she even commented looks nothing like her), are awful.

Bret and Savage. But then again, those are my two favorite wrestlers, so maybe I'm a little harsh. An easy fix for Bret is to stop using the hair in front of his face. It looks like dreadlocks. I don't think you're being over harsh, when my girlfriend saw the elite Hart Foundation Bret on my shelf she said it looked nothing like him. One of the first things they need to do to make him look better is remember his hair is brown, not black. .

Guess I'm the only one that loves the ultimate smirking Bret scan. IMO it's perfect. I disagree about Hogan too.
As for who I think they have issues with... Edge, Barry Windham, & Ken Shamrock. Windham especially is off.

Always thought the open mouthed headscan for surfer Sting not only didn't look like him but was goofy looking as well.

For me Stone Cold likeness seems to be what Mattel can't get right.

I’m gonna add Dolph Ziggler to the list. I still don’t think they’ve nailed a sculpt for him. Sometimes it’s the face that’s off and if the face is good then the hair is off.

Shawn Michaels, definitely. How they released the RSC DX and Badd Blood figures with that fugly scan is beyond me. Not to mention that goofy Summerslam 95 face.
The WM14 and Rockers Legends scans were outstanding. Dunno why they did away from those when releasing new figures.

For me it’s Sasha and Sasha only. For someone with soo many figures Jesus her heads are all terrible. The new exclusive looks to be a great improvement

Edge Mattel has NEVER made a great Edge headscan. His best face is the Basic 58, and even that's average. Jakks on the other hand, made a few great Edge heads. I've got the Ruthless Aggression 35 head on the HOF Elite, it scales really well, and looks great.
Shawn Michaels Mattel has made one great HBK head, and that's the WM30 Elite. The rest either suck or are just okay. Again, Jakks on the other hand... Made a bunch of great HBK heads. If the DA3 head scaled & skin tone matched with Mattel, i'd definitely put that on the Walgreen's Elite.

Lmfao... WMXXX HBK is one of the most accurate heads Mattel has made in a decade. I’d put that likeness against any HBK ever made.

Edge is a big one. I’ve used some of the earlier Jakks scans for swaps for him.

Alundra Blayze/Madusa. I was really disappointed with the Alundra Blayze figure, partly because I wanted a Madusa version, but also because I don't like the smiling expression and the likeness is mediocre at best. Hopefully if/when Mattel does a Madusa they'll do a new head, ideally I'd like a WCW 1996 era figure in american attire.

I think the UE Bret looks just like him.
I remember reading somewhere that it's harder for sculptors to capture the likeness of good looking people because they have nothing to latch onto when creating the sculpt. I have no idea if that's true or not, I'm not an artist.

I can say John Morrison scans were off but he's getting a new figure some point, but I in my opinion I say Jakks did have some good Shawn Michael's scans and other scans too.
