There is a 2nd Macho Man headscan

It's funny you should bring this up, b/c in the "OOOHH YEAH" thread I stated that my custom Jakks Macho Man head was a better likeness then the EG figure. Well, part of it is because what I have has the grin with the one row (top row I think) of teeth showing just like the head sculpt from the video. It looks much better.

I'm guessing they would use that for L5. I hope so anyway. At the end of the day I will buy any Macho,Warrior,HBK and someday Hogan and Flair that they make. Guys like that (especially Savge) lend themselves to multiple releases and different headsculpts. Looking forward to them all

I hate the face on both

Again, just because there's another scan, people seem to automatically assume it's awesome without even looking. these pics are really bad. they really aren't good enough pics for people to be rejoicing and saying it's a decent/better likeness than the DM one. but just going from what i can see here... the likeness on this smiling headscan is still bad. It doesn't look like Macho Man. Just a smiling bearded man with long hair.

By the way, there is a 3rd Macho Man scan, which was shown on the Legends 5 proto at ringside fest. Straight faced with a bandanna, which looks removeable. I can't tell for definite, but i'm pretty sure it's slightly different from the Defining Moments one. the L5 one's beard looks thinner and differently sculpted. But I could be wrong, maybe it's the same:



compared to the defining moments one:

That scan looks better than the one on there now.

thanks for the info. i really hope they make a brand new one for his future figures...

individual opinions aside though, the fact is that collector opinion is mixed on the likeness of these Macho headscans. Which confirms that Mattel have certainly not produced a definitive macho man headscan here. It can't be a great scan or else there wouldn't be so many people unsure of the likeness.



All I'm saying is a lot of people here get overexcited about the prospect of a Macho Man figure and label it as awesome immedietely. They forget to STOP and LOOK at the headscan BEFORE forming an opinion. People hear the name "Macho Man" and see the great accessories, and see a beard and long hair and go crazy with excitement at that, and don't seem to notice the face doesn't look like him.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I have no problem with people liking the scan, as long as they've actually looked closely at the FACE, ignoring the accessories and the beard and hair, and fairly evaluated it.

The fact that people are singing definitive praises for the smiling scan is ridiculous, the pictures are really bad. I know I gave my opinion, but I did stress that it's only from what I can see. The pictures are simply not good enough to make a definitive statement on this scan.

My criticism is concentrated on the facial likeness, but you are correct, the hair is wrong too.

however I would like to raise the point that the hair innaccuracies may not be mattel's fault. for example, Hulk Hogan is notoriously insecure about his receeding hairline, and it was reported by several sources that he made Jakks sculptors give several of his figures more hair than was strictly accurate. it's possible Savage is equally as insecure and gave input to mattel on how to style the hair.

This figure is terrible! Sorry but Macho Man has been the most wanted figure for years and this is what we get? I wouldn't buy this figure if it was 4.99.

It's the hair for me, Savage wishes his hair was that thick.
