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.

Being the son of a pair of the world's biggest Bee Gees fans, they'll be glad to know do that Barry Gibb finally has an action figure. You know what I'm thinking........ Al Borland custom!!! You guys beat me to it. I'm going to go with: James Brolin as George Lutz in Amityville Horror

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. 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.
