Seriously hope we get a new sculpt for Savage or at least use the Elite 23 head. Much prefer that over the other two which really aren't that good in my opinion. Same with Sasha Banks too... Could be an awesome figure with NXT women's title and jacket but lordy, they mustn't use the terrible basic sculpt.

I think the plan is to give us tugboat which has never had an official figure if I remember correctly. Just a prototype as a hasbro and then later give us the natural disasters If we got typhoon, we would need quake in red.... I know quake wore blue once or twice when the disasters first formed but it wouldn't look right to have the disasters in anything other than red/black The natural disasters were just in wwe 2k16 , that will help the cause to get them both re made in time. What a two pack that would make "At a Combined weight of 846 lbs.... The Natural Disasters!!" But what if they make em a basic battle pack? I'd put a buck each way on that happening

My vote would be a new sculpt or even the B26 head over the E23 head as that would mean no cowboy hat as it doesn't fit unless they mod it of course.

Could I please trouble someone for some more info on this rumored lineup.... Does the rumor state it will be an Ultimate Maniacs Macho Man or are people merely speculating that due to it being near to the Defining Moments UM Warrior announcement/release or what not??!!
I personally am crossing my fingers that E44 is not a UM Macho Man. For 2 main reasons, I would like it to be a DM so I am able to display it MOC beside DM UM Warrior and the other being I very much would like the figure to have all of his accessories. We couldn't get his shirt in DM1, so I'd think that rules that out straight away and if not it means no jacket. So my guess would be it will be much like E38 - hat and sunglasses and instead of the rib wrap thingee we'll get a microphone or something else minor OR alternatively there will still be no jacket but they will sculpt/paint the shirt on. But I have no idea of how paint deco costs match up with soft goods/plastic goods etc. May be just as expensive if not more.

The rumor from the beginning was ultimate maniacs savage was in e44 and then ultimate maniacs warrior was supposed to be e45. Warrior was also rumored as the next Dm but there was no mention of what attire. Something changed...because the Dm warrior is now the ultimate maniacs but people are still going by the original rumor thinking UM savage will still be in e44

But I have no idea of how paint deco costs match up with soft goods/plastic goods etc. May be just as expensive if not more. If it ends up as UM Savage, accessories will be determined by the rest of the set I believe. 1.Tugboat can be a repaint of existing parts. Probably a hat. 2. Koko B. Ware gets Frankie and shades. 3. Sasha Banks just gets a title? 4. Big E is just repainted. 5. Braun Strowman could be a repaint of Studd. I don't know how that'll effect Macho's chances of glasses, hat and shades, but I suppose it's possible. E38 had a lot of extras. Especially with the APA.

I think your right but Sasha will likely have more accessories. Glasses, necklace... Etc
I would be happy with savage if it had shirt, hat and glasses.
The jackets gonna be a p.o.s anyhow if its moulded in plastic . However I would maybe be ok with a jacket and no shirt
Randy savage is literally one of the only people I feel needs full entrance attire with every figure.... It was his thing
There's only a few other guys who's entrance attire would be as important to me like singles warlord and barbarian and maybe that's it...

They need to splurge some of the budget on Macho this time around.

does this mean the rumoured Magnum T.A. is scheduled for E45?

I love savage.
Will buy any figure of his...
But his last elite was just felt incomplete without a shirt.

Mattel needs to tool up a new torso for shirted-while-wrestling macho man attires. the ringside nwo shirt used for e23 macho is terrible for anything other than that nwo figure. Macho's wrestling top was skin tight and tucked in. they need to figure something out that reflects that.

I'd be ok with a painted on shirt like the t-shirt series, since he wrestled in that shirt. A plastic jacket would SUCK! I'm convinced that there won't be enough in the budget to do him right.

If the Lineup is true, I'll be getting E, Sasha, and Braun. Finally getting the New Day in Elites makes me glad, since I don't purchase basics unless I need them for parts or for Basic->Elite conversion.

My only hope is that they don't continue to use the AJ mold for Sasha.

Honestly, do we REALLY need another macho? Yes. Macho is one of the most beloved wrestlers of all time and his figures sell good. He also has millions of attires.
