The Kenny scan is bad too. It looks as much like Hangman as it does Kenny. This is a rough set. Worse than the Hager set imo. Which makes it the worst to-date imo. I’m going to cancel my Britt and Kenny. Really disappointing that it feels like we’re going backwards. I want to like the Kenny scan, but the redish brown hair colour and it looking like Old Man Kenny throw it off for me. Huh, maybe that's why I like it so much. It's like the Old Man Logan version of Kenny.

Wow that Britt Baker scan is horrible. Might cancel my order. If you have one of the mid august orders I’ll buy it off of you! I need one for at signing at the end of august but afraid the others won’t get here in time.

Better, but still not fantastic, and still 100% looks like an early-era AEW Britt head/design/scan that they’ve been sitting on.

Still I think the eye makeup would have made a world of difference in the figure's final reception. I thought they were using a face printing technology similar to Mattel, so I don't see any good reason why they couldn't have done it.

These give off a Jakks vibe with every new series. I don't mind Britt's scan but, those boots are way too big. These all feel very bland. I was once excited for this line.

Not sure why people are crapping on the Kenny scan. Looks like him to me.

I like series 4 better for Kenny, but I can’t say I see an issue with this one.

"How should we pose the chase?" "I dunno...just go with a Hunchback of Notre Dame thing or something" LOL I laughed so hard at this! The final photography for these figures recently has been so bad. Jazwares needs to stop being cheap and hire someone better.

Well look at the gear she’s in… The chase attire was only worn the one time at the Pittsburgh attire, but she wore the standard attire a bit with her heel makeup/hair look post injury-return.

We'd seen a lot of the figures through the leaks but I'm happy with my order of Kenny and Darby - think they've turned out really nice

Hoping they’ll have these ready by the time AEW go to Pittsburgh next month and maybe they’ll have a few of Steelers Britt for sale.
I highly doubt this will happen but I can dream right?

Seems like AEW is just doing 3D scans with paint apps and not a true "face print" like Mattel is doing. Since Mattel started doing face printing, the faces on the women have improved DRAMATICALLY.
The issue with the women is that they wear makeup which alters their appearance from the actual shape of their face. So realistically, this figure is probably what Britt Baker looks like WITHOUT makeup. They put some lipstick on her, but it's not the same as the full face of TV makeup she wears on AEW.
I think once AEW starts doing actual complete face printing, the faces will look much better. Right now, it seems like just 3D scans, which is only going to capture the shape, not the color/texture.

And if you also notice there is a pretty noticeable increase in quality for people who wear masks or face paint because less of their natural face is shown. Darby looks spot on but half his face is painted
