PLEASE STOP posting wrong info as a fact.. Macho Man wore only white athletic tape JUST like his figure has on his wrist and hands and fingers.. nothing else. LOOK IT UP.

I have no problems with it missing the shirt and forearm covers, because using fabric for those would make the torso & foreams too bulky looking with those added layers on a figure in this scale.
As for the face I'll wait until this week when I have mine in my hand to pass judgment...because the one closeup pic we've seen was taken with a cell phone and is very grainy at best.

I agree that Macho should have a more definative headscan. He's Randy Savage!He should be biting a lip,smiling maniacally,straining,something along those lines. A straight faced Savage is not what I think most people want in a Savage figure well it depends on the era for me. as i've said, personally i want an NWO attire macho man, and for that, a mean looking/straight-faced scan would definetely be my expression of choice. but it needs to have a really good facial likeness, or it's pointless even making the figure.

A straight faced Savage is not what I think most people want in a Savage figure But I do think this is a solid...no stelllar(for the detailing) figure to own. They have one like that and i hope they decide to use it on his Legends release.

I like it a great deal more than I originally thought I did but I'm still waiting. The Legends 5 Macho Man was the exact figure I was hoping for and it makes the DM one an easy pass for me. The packaging is great though and I am really looking forward to Ultimate Warrior in this series.

Ok. Got the green light to post more pics. I will modify this post witha few pics then. The most requested I have had are for face sculpt close ups. I am on the blackberry tonight ,so bare with me as I have to go through extra steps to upload multiple pics. Anyway here is a closeup headshot I had ready to go. ![](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c135/ricflair4ever/Mobile%20Uploads/utf-8BSU1HMDE4OTEtMjAxMDEyMDQtMjAzMC5qcGc.jpg) thanks for the pic. this confirms even more to me that i am extremely dissatisfied with the headsculpt. obviously i can't give my final opinion till i hold it in my hands, but from what i can see from these pics I don't think it looks like Savage at all, facially. seems to me most people here are so excited about getting a macho figure they're automatically labelling it as awesome without even looking at it properly and fairly evaluating it. i mean i give credit to mattel for the accessories and the detailing, but from what i can see from these pics - the facial likeness is inexcusably poor. but i'm sure most people won't notice. they see macho man's name on the package, and a guy with a beard and long hair, and thats all they care about. Hopefully the other mattel macho man figures that come out in future will have a better likeness. personally i'm looking forward to an NWO version. Not a very good headsculpt imo. 7/10 at best. Mattel has a long way to go on their headsculpts. Yawn..

Paint the hair blonde and you have Big John Studd. This figure sucks!!! Mattel dropped the ball on this one.
