I can see the head being used for Billy Jack Haynes customs.

To each his own but I like the Macho head from the Legends figure and believe it looks a lot more like Randy Savage then this horrible head. I would like to see what photo they used to make this head- I see only a vague resemblance of him. I don't understand with the technology that is available today why Mattel heads are so hit and miss?! Some figures like Demolition, LOD, Warrior are spot on while others (E39 Sid, Bret Hart, E40 Rick Rude) are off and only have a passing resemblance to the actual person. Overall I am happy with this figure, the trunks to me look light pink, the same as the pink color on the tights of the Hart Foundation figures- I don't understand how others see them as purple?! The robe could be better but considering it took 7 years to get this damn figure, I will take it and run. You must be confused, Jakks never released any Macho Man Figures. The Mattel figures are the first Randy Savage action figures since Hasbro in the early 90s. Macho had NWO figs in the late 90s. I don't know what company made them but they were the official WCW figs. Someone here can tell you what company it was. Hell, OSFT made 2 Macho figs in LJN style. He had lots of figs after Hasbro. Toy Biz made WCW Macho Man

This figure was a great idea, fantastic concept with poor execution - at least from the pictures so far. Robe/headband are great; but wrong trunks color, headsculpt that looks like no Macho Man I've ever seen, and lack of IC belt make it a disappointment for me.

Like every macho head sans e23, the head looks great with glasses but bad without. He's not gonna be displayed without them, but man he looks odd. The TNF figure has this issue too. TNF scan looks like Popeye The Sailor 😎

Prime example of a DM Line worthy figure.

7/10 score.
1 point deducted for wrong color trunks 1 point deducted for no ic belt 1 point deducted because Mattel had one job to do. This is just one defining moment of a legends career. I guess Mattel truly stuck to words on the back of the box, "The macho man" may have left without the gold around his waist." No ic belt, wrong trunk colors.. wrong trunk colors??? How???
Dig the headsculpt though.

No, 1 point for lack of ic belt, 1 point for wrong color trunks and 1 point because Mattel had one job to do and didn't do it.The last point was broken down into reasoning as to how Mattel had ruin a potential great dm.

I said before the wrong trunk color is devastating to me. Truely a major planning and production oversight. The person in charge of that figure would get an earful if I was their boss. I mean, the photos and probably the match was viewed many times preparing this figure and the mess up the trunks?
I can live without the belt because it can be found but Mattel customer service is going to get calls from me until this is corrected.
