I received the new Elite 38 Macho Man from Ringside today. Love the look with hat and sunglasses. The only other Macho Man figure with the cowboy hat and sunglasses is the WrestleMania VII Defining Moments figure. That's also a great figure, however, he lacks the color that Macho Man wore in so many of his outfits. The Elite 38 version has more color, but no shirt or jacket. I checked Ralph's Figure Clothing, but didn't see the specific shirt/jacket to match the Elite 38 tights. Also, while I love some of the stuff one can get from Ralph's, occasionally the material used is too thick and doesn't look accurate for the figure scale we're dealing with. Has anyone thought of a solution?

Honesty, by the slide image of the upcoming GAB Sting DM figure, re painting his coat might be the best solution as long as it fits well on Macho. I actually had this conversation with Pedigree about a month ago |

Figure feels wrong without jacket. Ijust dont understand why Mattel did it, even on the box, it has him wearing a jacket.

I just doesnt make sense. He wore many attires in WCW without a shirt....but i cant find this one minus a shirt/jacket, or rib tape.... Just a mess. Ill get it, but no way am I paying RSC prices to fix mistakes. Like Bradshaws waist...and Farooqs face/skintone....
On a nicer note, all the current roster guys look like great elites.... Not like we dont have a million DBs RRs already, sure mess up the Flashbacks...

I'm sure Mattel's reasoning is budget. Considering the only other time we got the true, full Macho treatment in which a jacket was included was the Defining Moments series. The deco involved on E38 probably put it at the limit, though I believe Bill did say something about now being able to spread out the budget through the entire line. With that in mind, you'd think they'd be able to include a jacket for Macho since some of the other figures in E38 don't look like they cost too much to produce.
Regardless, I'm still waiting for another Defining Moments Macho King circa late 90/early 91. Come on Mattel, produce it already!

Maybe Mattel can randomly insert a matching shirt with a Randy Savage Create a Superstar figure?

Maybe Mattel can randomly insert a matching shirt with a Randy Savage Create a Superstar figure? This would be very very nice! Cloth please. Make it a deluxe pack with hat, glasses, megaphone, and cloth jacket specifically for E38 macho man! |

Im pretty confident Ralphs will have something to complete this set soon. The Bullet Club and Road Dogg shirts I just got from there are SUPERB.

I saw something on Ralph's, but it wasn't totally too my liking.

I dont like the Macho Man custom jackets. They just look too bulky to me. I think for this figure I would go a tshirt as Savage switched to tshirts around this time anyway. Personally Id wait for Ralph or find someone who can make shirts and get one of these designs..   |

Ralph's scaling is off in my opinion.

I agree. A jacket would have made this figure a must have.

you can always contact Ralph's widow and send her the exact picture of the jacket/shirt you want to be made, and she is going to make it for you. I know this because I contact her with "special pictures requests" all the time and she always comes up with a great product without complaining. Try contacting her. Can you post a pic of your E38 Macho Man please - thank you!  |

id like mattel to slip a red or yellow e23 shirt in a create a superstar. wont be accurate to the look, but would look much better than it does without it. i might take a hof hogan shirt and remove hulkamania from it to put on macho.

Ralph can probably make a matching one for this figure.

IF ralph doesn't have it don't be afraid to email them with a pic. They can make things happen for you if they know you want it.
FOr example. I wanted WWF crew blue camera man jump suits which did not exists. Asked and they made them and started selling them.
