I never say this, but - "MDT, if you're reading this:"
Macho seriously needs a torso mold with that shirt, with the sleeve fringes done like the Flashback purple Undertaker. We need more shirted Machos, and the shirt does NOT need to be a removable piece.

I don't mind the plastic shirt but they are a little bulky. Macho also wore these shirts skin tight and tucked in (or the appearance of being tucked in). The shirt and tights blended together as one piece. |

It's iconic It's like enough messing around already and invest and do it right. No other way to do it right. In this case I kind of like the removable shirt because I can double use this figure as an earlier WCW Macho. He wore these tights during the Mega Powers reunion with some new lettering. BUT the spandex skin tight top he wore all the time in WWF and WWE with the fringe and without needs to be a torso mold. Undertaker got both tattered and clean. |

Road Dogg needed a molded shirt too. The final release of that figure was an abomination

I think the cowboy boots appear oversized on Magnum because the leg sleeves give the illusion of short stumpy legs much like HOF M$M. Smaller more accurate knee pads will work and also swapping the calves with more muscular ones. My fix-up Magnum is like that and I'll make the same mods when official Magnum arrives at my place tomorrow. I'll try those swaps. What calves did you use? I'm also gonna try to make him a little taller Can't remember exactly, but I think it's the calves that are from Ted DiBiase Jr. I'll take a pic when I do my fix-up |

Macho needs a molded shirt torso. Taker has like 4 between both series and will probably get more.
However, the new style of rubber shirts is quite wonderful, and makes me despise them a little less. Roman's WM31 vest and Rollins' entrance shirt look wonderful and stay on, unlike the old shirts. I still prefer cloth shirts, but they wouldn't work for Roman, Seth, or Macho.
I hope we get a Dean with a bare torso and a cloth shirt someday

The worst shirt to date for me has been the Road Doggs shirt. They totally screwed that up because he wrestled with it on......I replaced it with a shirt from Ralphs asap and now he is one of my favourite figs.

Now that the elite 44 has been released are there any other Macho Man figures in the works?

well bharrisfan scrap that idea of swapping calves etc. MDT used a completely different boot mold from Barry Windham, I thought it was one in the same. It's inbetween Windham and Dusty's cowboy boots grrrr... This is the best I could do (the mid-sized knee pads help):  |

Definitely made the best of a less than ideal situation I just wish Mattel would make all the figures thicker in general. like closer to Elito 30 LOD. All the Flairs, Arns, DBry's, Jericho's are all so stick thin and look nothing like the frame's the guys really have, so when you have this thicker cowboy boot mold it doesn't jive with anything else because everything is so skinny |

Great figures man! Magnum's eye is seriously messed up though, you're not wrong about that.
