I have heard rumors of a Green tights Macho Man before. Is this right or just another lie in the world of wrestling figures? I believe it was a sears or mail away figure? Thank you.

I think Macho 1 was pictured in some catalog with green trunks, never released I guess.

I saw the picture before. It had Macho Man with green and Hulk Hogan in a ring together. I always wanted that Macho Man as a kid ...

I really hate to fuel rumors, but since you're on the subject, I remember being absolutely sure there was a Honky Tonk Man in red as a kid, to the point that I would even look for it in stores. Was there ever a picture of this anywhere?

I was just looking at Honky the other day and noticed that way more detail is sculpted than on most Hasbro figures, and that most of it wasn't even painted. It's cool to see what it looks like to bring out all of the little details.

As far as I know, Macho Man w/green trunks was never made for retail. I had posted a pic a long time ago from a retailer Christmas catalog. I'll see if I can find it.

That rings a prototype aswel. It seems smaller and the turn buckles are different

Turnbuckles were changed for safety reasons, however first batch was reportedly sold as in the pic.

that is an awesome macho man #1 but it doesn't compare to orange with stars...one of my all time favourite figures!
