there have been a lot of opinions over the years that mattel hasn't nailed a good macho likeness yet. i think the thing thats missing is the strain in his neck he always had. this would probably need a new upper torso mold just for him, but i think it would really give the figure that something thats been missing.   the image on the card  |

Interesting idea but I doubt they would do it since it wouldn't be that noticeable of a change to justify the molding cost.
For me the issue with the Macho figures is simply the lack of facial likeness. Yeh it's got the hair, the beard and the accessories... but beyond that, the actual face sculpts really don't look very much like Savage. The first two scans (straight-faced and smiling) are especially poor (they just look like a generic male face to me), and the third scan (frowning) while better, is still only an average resemblence.
For a superstar as important as Savage it's ridiculous Mattel can't find a sculptor who can nail the likeness. I'm just hoping they will make a few more new headscans before his contract expires.

Not a bad idea, but not sure they'd do it like Assassin posted. I do alway remember him looking like that, he had that the first time I remember seeing him in the 92 SNME interview vs Jake. With all that gear on top of him plus the neck strain, it made me think he was a much larger man at first, like bigger than Hogan.  |

That's not needed and is impractical for to create for just one guy. I think the e23 scan is much better than is given credit for.

Mattel should branch out into some crazy spinoff lines like Maximum Sweat and Gross-Out Wrestlers just for this sort of thing.
