I don’t really view this figure as a 2 in 1. It’s a Giant Machine figure. That’s what it says on the packaging so that is how I am going to judge it. The yellow trunks and extra head are just bonus parts for those who wanna try to make the figure something else. As a Giant Machine, that singlet, as is, ruins the figure. Correct. The MOC pics confirm that this is a Giant Machine figure that is why it comes with black boots. The extra head and yellow trunks underneath allow you to convert it to a WM2 Andre if you so choose. I wonder if this means Mattel thinks that Giant Machine will sell better then WM2 Andre, thus why they made it a 2 in 1 figure?! I'm passing on this fig as well. I was going to pick this up to have an Andre with singlet (having missed out on E29) but now that I see the MOC pics I don't really like it and will keep searching for the E29 figure. I have the TRU exclusive fig (or as I refer to it 'Andre The Friendly Giant'. ) which I will use as my pre-WM3 Andre Giant Machine should be more appealing than WM2. I can see kids wanting this figure just because it’s a giant with a cool looking mask.

I just saw the moc version, cool it will be easier to do "big machine" aka black javk mulligan, because push head, i thought it was a fabric mask, so i will leave this figure like it is, because , if i take my giant machine from jakks, im sure that this one is not tha big, because the jakks version is massive, so i will call it big machine instead of giant machine. And if i want to do super machine aka ax, i will just have to buy another one, take out is head and put the head on another normal size figure for super machine ! And then with the second figure, i will use the andre the giant head to make andre wmania 2. Its perfect, finally we can do the 3 machines ! And dont forget for completist they can do easily piper machine, hulk machine, animal machine, etc... How many drinks do you have before logging in?

A 2 in 1 that is inaccurate both ways. Thanks Mattel!! You’d think after how bad elite 29 Andre turned out with the 2 in 1 idea that they would have learned their lesson and just tried executing either a wm2 or machine perfectly instead of this half assed attempt at both. While it is still bad I do think it is a vast improvement over Jakks CS Giant Machine. If I were to buy this one I would just keep it as an Andre, but I already have enough Andre figures. As for the Elite 29 figure I didn’t think it was bad if you put the Afro on the correct way. Many (including Mattel at a show) put it on backwards. But when it was put on correctly it was a nice figure.

Seeing some of his recent posts I am thinking English may be 2nd language for him. French Canadian maybe?

What was wrong with the hair accessory? It fit perfectly and looked great. Andre didn’t do it often, but he wore black boots with blue tights. Plus it gave collectors a chance to get WM III Andre if they had previously missed it. You’re way off base. Elite 29 Andre was an excellent figure. No. That André was a cluster. No agree to disagree here. You’re just wrong.

I'm going to pass on this one anyway. I have enough Andre figures and other than the mask this one doesn't set itself apart that much from the other ones.

Do things normally change from those preorder pictures and the actual release? They really can't release something that horrible?

You’re just wrong. It was a bad figure The hair-piece/blue trunks look on the E29 figure didn't really work, but Andre in his black singlet looked fantastic - so it definitely wasn't a cluster... at least you got one good figure/look from it. Unfortunately the same can't be said of this new figure, as you don't get a good/accurate look for either (Giant Machine or WM2 Andre).

I think they only got 2 Andres right. The Heenan family Andre and the Amazon exclusive Andre. I think the legends Andre should have had his singlet painted on. The elite 29 Andre with the alternate hair should have come with alternate boots, to go with the cloth singlet and wig. I think this Giant Machine extra head is great, but once again should have alternate boots. This is the 3rd Andre elite figure that could have been great but it's a miss for me. I still have my cloth Machine mask from Jakks and I display the elite 29 Andre wearing it. imgur.com/a/WuU92

I looked at the singlet up close in person at axxess. It looked long enough to reach his boots, ala the vegas con proto we saw

I just went and looked up images of the Giant Machine figure on Ringside Collectibles and it shows two pictures of Andre out of the package and the singlet reaches the boots. So it appears that the singlet will be long enough to display the Giant Machine correctly, though that doesn't help those who wanted a correct WM 2 Andre or a Giant Machine with molded tights.

They should have just done either the WM 2 Andre or The Giant Machine Andre now for Elite Series 60 and did the other one for a later Elite Series.
