I might get both of these just because of the box.

A wrestling figure based on the arcade game and those old Genesis/SNES games...that is absolutely insane. I grew up playing those things and never thought they'd ever cross-over into anything else, let alone my favorite hobby.

I pre-ordered the Macho Man tonight at my local GameStop. Shawn is currently not on the list for pre-order just yet. $29.99 plus tax was what I paid. After seeing that package (that now won’t have to get destroyed from sitting on a shelf) I had to make sure I got one. You can reserve one for as low as $5 if you don’t want to pay the entire amount until it arrives, though. Do you have the SKU for this? Thanks.

Rockers never appeared in any game and the closest Macho would be Superstars where he was wearing a U.S.A. robe on the selection screen.

I was interested just because I'll buy any Macho, but now, damn, I may keep them sealed. Those boxes are killer!

This would be a nice place for an elite version of the basic 29 Ultimate Warrior figure(Wrestlefest), red Razor(Raw), purple Bam Bam(Wrestlemania the arcade game) or Kwang(Raw)

This is up there with some of Mattel's best creative efforts, including Shockmaster, Booty O's, and the recent Hall of Champions packaging.

I’m so glad macho has this packaging because I was debating not buying it due to the attire but now I’ll def buy it. Thankfully it’s not just Shawn with the arcade box or else I would’ve probably bought that even though I didn’t want it and passed on macho without that packaging.

Beautiful packaging just wish they would have saved it for characters and outfits that were in ether wrestlefest or wrestmania arcade or even in your house.

By far the best packaging ever for a wrestling figure. Hopefully there is more 'RetroFest' figures to come...

Yeah. I'm seriously only getting this because of the packaging.

I'm not sure how I feel about this box. It's done really well, and I like the classic game feel of it. But, one of the points of having a figure Mint on Card/Mint in Box is showing off the figure, however, with this box you can only see half of the figure. Kind of defeats the purpose.

Michaels looks great but his hair is too dark I think. Too bad Jannetty is on the lawsuit list. Would of loved a Rockers battlepack.in purple

I have an extra All Stars Savage. Think I’m going to put that figure in that packaging.
