Finally a Macho shirt sort of on par with the great cactus shirt. Crazy how it takes years to figure out where to fasten a plastic top overlay effectively. Too bad Masters of the universe classics forgot how to do it completely And then kept innovating ways to make their armor tops worse. Anyway thank you MDT for the new shirt construction. Side note: my Magnum has a jacked up right eye. I'm bummed about that. And his oversized cowboy boots are a big disappointment. Tugboat is great. And the Sdcc Shockmaster might be my favorite Mattel. It's so awesome. Other than the fact that it should've come with TBs head and TB should've had Shockmasters head. Who are the ad wizards who came up with that one.

Great figures. Maybe one day I train, take my vitamins, and say my prayers I will find something other than Elite 39 in my area.

Looks great, but I might cut part of the sleeves on Macho Man to emulate his tassels and give some more movement.

Also with Macho, still don't get why we don't always get the teeth scan. Makes no sense. Everyone hates this head. The least MDT can do is give us the teeth scan.

I got the basic with the teeth scan. Been thinking about swapping it to an elite... but which elite?

Macho looks great! I really appreciate all of the deco and accessories. The shirt mechanism is also done well. I liked it on Elite 37 Seth as well so I'm glad to see it make a return.

I am down with the plastic shirts mostly. The only truly awful ones were the ones that came with Elite 12 and 16 Randy Orton and the BOPPV Miz team Johnny shirt. The sleevles shirts are far more preferable to be plastic instead of cloth.

Sucks about magnums eye. Could be worse I suppose. I'm crossing my fingers and saying my prayers my Magnum doesn't suffer from a major paint app flaw. Really excited to get him. I'll find out soo enough tho.
I think the Macho shirt looks good too, better fit then E23

Agreed, I'd want to get one for my Legends Savage for the longest time, though the E23 scan's pretty good too, assuming it's different.

That Macho is INSANE. What a beautiful figure. I can't wait to get that fig.

I think the cowboy boots appear oversized on Magnum because the leg sleeves give the illusion of short stumpy legs much like HOF M$M. Smaller more accurate knee pads will work and also swapping the calves with more muscular ones. My fix-up Magnum is like that and I'll make the same mods when official Magnum arrives at my place tomorrow.

LOVE this Macho Man... I'm so pleased he has a shirt - Mattel seemed reluctant to give him one for a while(!). It's kind of funny - if you put Macho and the DM Warrior side by side, most people would probably say that Macho was the DM figure...

Love the new plastic shirt design, wish they'd done this about two years ago for the other Macho Man figures....... it looks great & I can't wait to pick this up!

I'm happy with this e44 macho man. I'm very glad about the shirt being included. The e38 macho man had no shirt and the hof3 macho king had no shirt so I wasn't expecting a shirt here. Also glad they put it on him in he package as well as the glasses. I'll keep him moc

I am not sure why there are so many people who were expecting Macho Man to not come with a shirt. I understand his most recent elites did not but Ultimate Maniacs Savage never appeared without the shirt on. He even wrestled with the shirt on. There is no way Mattel could've done this figure without the shirt. At the very least it would've been molded on.

I'm also gonna try to make him a little taller
