Recently, Bill said in response to a question about how the DM line is doing in the RS Q&A that "...we have FOUR new ones planned for this year" (probably a paraphrase as opposed to quote verbatim). Since Austin was already at retail at the time of said interview, I wonder--when sifting through the hints within that reply coupled with one of his posts on the forum not all that long ago about the rumored lineups having drastic modifications/adaptations upcoming--if that's a sign of a matching MOC DM display of UM Savage looming in the near future. In fact, this could be logical too, what with an inclusion in that tallied tabulation of the upcoming Sting soon to hit retail everywhere, followed by UM UW, UM Macho & Cena to perhaps round out that core four count he was talking about at that time. Granted, all of that is just pensive pondering on my part, aside from the fact that I'm likely sprinkling in some wishful thinking on the whole ordeal as well. On the flip side, such a potential possibility & notion appears to fit in amid the continuous speculation/alleged change-ups.
Another thing is that even sans jacket, the Macho Man nowadays almost might need to be part of the DM budget much like Warrior, for we have seen the last two far from flawless figures of Savage upon our respective, local retail shelves. Furthermore, they SHOULD be coordinated as two separate, corresponding DM packages released in succession, or at least one would reckon that would logistically make sense to innumerable amounts of collectors, especially those who choose to keep products MOC. But alas, who am I to say? Additionally, I'm sure'tain that I'm a slight bit off, however it's well renowned that there is the occasional, proverbial information given, in spite of info aplenty seemingly lacking on a frequent basis, if not entirely restricted/prohibited. At the very least, we're all well aware how much of it must be sealed under wraps, hence limited to an extent.
Yet, within the confines of what is permitted to be discussed, Bill makes commendable, admirable--albeit usually under-appreciated--efforts within his power to fill us all in on minute details. Sometimes he actually goes the extra mile when he decides to implement puzzle pieces of the thought processes that tend to be involved & intertwined within the inner workings of the creations & designs! After all, often times in the past, certain cryptic clues have been revealed & intermingled among the masses by the words from Bill's own mouth. Plenty of what he proclaims/explains/exclaims requires being receptive, while taking it all in with a grain of salt, so to speak.
Moreover, I for one hope he was NOT referencing the early 2016 DM SCSA when he was describing a few brief facets in regards to this year's DM products. Whereas if indeed he WAS comprising the aforementioned Austin figure in the mix, I would then even prefer his mentions meaning that shuffling substitution eventually occurs. For instance, I wouldn't mind it if the illustrious Cena DM ends up being scrapped or postponed until 2017 instead or something of that nature. When all is said and done though, I s'pose only "Time Will Tell" as go the lyrics & song title of the legendary Bob Marley!

I say it every time we get a new dm... Dm cena came with 2 belts, 2 cloth shirts, a chain, dog tags and a hat... This does not. That is all. Cena also didn't have the paint apps this one has..or kneepads, or wrist covers. Kneepads and paint...not impressed. Every dm starting with hogan has been missing something in order to really be worth dm price. Hogan needed a cloth shirt Razor needed a ladder and maybe a 2nd belt Sting needed a belt Idk what you put with taker. Austin was fine Surfer sting needs a cloth jacket and belt Warrior needs...something

It's very simple, if you don't like it, don't buy it. Genius its not that. why couldnt they use that spot for a first time in the line or any other highly demanded figure? They did use the spot for a highly demanded figure. Mattel is a multi billion dollar company, they know what they're doing. Warrior is a massive seller for them, obviously. The numbers do not lie, look how many they've made

Unfortunately the guy who told us who was in the line ups and was correct in doing so mentioned that the d.m warrior with be u.m attire and e44 savage would be u.m attire, while he could have been wrong, I doubt we will get a tag team back to back in d.m
Elite 44 will more than likely be savages ultimate maniacs attire and he won't have full accessories unless bill gives everyone else in the set less accessories to make up for it, which I would be all for .

YES YES YES YES YES!! Finally a proper decent Warrior Figure. I love this and will pre-order for sure. I'm hoping Savage turns out just a good. Let's hope he has the jacket, glasses and hat but odds are he won't being in the regular elite line...any thoughts?

Mattel, please give us some different options as DM's
Orton (Legend Killer era w/ IC title and cloth shirt) Roddy Piper (decked out w/ kilt and shirt) Jericho (from when he won the titles or WM 18. Non old man face and of course both belts) Seth (SS '15 w/ both titles in white)Triple H (anything from early 2000's w/ Big Eagle) Goldust (early look with cloth style robe and directors chair)anything other than the same old characters over and over. Sting is exception but it just seems like it's so predictable Take a chance on something different. Make it worth buying as a DM and people will buy it Please Bill. Please! I'm sure Warrior sells great, but I like a lot of folks don't buy more than one of a guy. You have to mix it up.

Less accessories for a first-time-in-the-line Koko B. Ware and Tugboat just for a one-off Macho Man? The umpteenth Macho Man? I wouldn't like that. And of course people also want it to come with a new head sculpt.

They probably kick them a certain amount depending on the figure or what not.

THe difference between some of the other DM releases and this one is they were "first time in the line" guys and you had more incentive to buy them. I know Austin had less deco but the shiny belts are expensive to produce and the budgets seem inconsistent with these DM figures.
