I'd love nothing more than to see a good close up and that new Savage sculpt. I still can't decide if I like it or not.
That being said, I'll get it regardless because of the robe.

So does this confirm Mankind is gonna be Summerslam 1999? I have E17 so not sure if there would be any need to get this one. Maybe if the tie has the scratch logos and I find it cheap I will consider getting it I REALLY hope it's not a straight-up rerelease of the E17 figure... at least give him a new head and shirt sleeves (or something!). I'm hoping the Summerslam and E51 Mankind's will be something at least slightly different than what we've seen previously ...we need at least one of them to be a white shirt/brown tights version. |

Summerslam mankind won the smoking skull belt that night, so here's hoping that belt is packed in.
DM macho man item description doesnt contain any info on a ic belt. Wonder why he won't come with one? Flair had a black robe and came with a belt too.

I'll grab these either at retail or when I make a huge order with the last few elite series this summer.

GAB Sting didnt have one either. |

Does Macho have a belt or not?
Corporate Mankind could be 1998 (tights) or 1999 (slacks)

The intricacies of flair's robe in the patterns combine with the fluffy white fabric is a lot more than what the dm macho man has to offer. I'm sure it's more of having to cut costs/budget issue to not include a ic belt. Not a deal breaker but, maybe more thought into who should be chosen for a defining moment figure . (Here's looking at you ultimate maniacs warrior)  so it doesn't peg warm so we get 100% of what the figure should be like. imgur.com/nZu7Fgg |

This robe will be just as nice or better than Flairs.    |

So let's just say the robes are equal in costs, you're saying that a new headband mold and sunglasses is stopping Mattel from strapping an ic belt that it already has made around macho man? Come on man.. |

Come on man.. We have no clue of the cost so im not gonna say they were equal. Just because they have the mold for an accessory doesnt mean its cost effective to include it. He also has a new head sculpt. Not worried about an IC title. Razor came with one, Warrior, Mr Perfect, etc. Would I take extra stuff, sure, but weve seen it boxed and Im not gonna go "pwease pwease Bill make it more perfect than it is." Its cool they come here and listen to collectors wants, but I dont for one second think theyre our buddies trying to give us the best deal. Theyre a corporation trying to move as many units and make as many dollars as possible. |

Its cool they come here and listen to collectors wants, but I dont for one second think theyre our buddies trying to give us the best deal. Theyre a corporation trying to move as many units and make as many dollars as possible. I don't beg for 100% accuracy for a toy. But $25 is $25 and that just goes to show you why some figures just sit, it's because for a $20+ toy, and let's be real here, $20+ for a 6" figure is the new norm and is a little high. We are talking $20 for an action figure and as a consumer, there's nothing we can do but to either pay that price or not to but for $20+, I for one, expect to get 100% accuracy. If other toy lines from different toy companies can do it, then it's possible. It's all about budgeting and making product that sells and it wasting budget money on products that don't, like tough talkers, wwe mutants etc and I don't feel that my $20+ should go to waste on a product that COULD have been 100% accurate, but isn't, based on poor decisions. And to be honest, I only find myself dealing with this issue when it comes to Mattel. Hasbro and it's legends line are killing it in the 6" game, neca in the 6"-7" game and look what you get for $20+ from neca. No one said Mattel employees are our buddies but we are the ones in the end, who but their products, simple as that, so any criticism is what's needed, since it's my money, and your money that keeps them employed and in business. Now, YOU can do what you want with your money, since that's you, but I for one care what I get for $20+ |

Wonder why he won't come with one? Flair had a black robe and came with a belt too. A black robe though, not a purple, blue, silver, etc. No belt isnt a deal breaker. GAB Sting didnt have one either. GAB Sting didn't have the jacket on with the belt though. That DM can be argued that it's pre-match for justification. No amount of justifying from any Mattel reps will ever make me buy in that an IC belt couldn't be included. While everyone hates them using the same stoic Macho Man sculpt over and over, this is one where I would have taken the previously existent "smiling"/intense teeth-gnashing look, since they went with a similar look anyway, as long as it meant IC belt as the compromise. Just about every picture out there of Savage @ WM III with the robe on shows him holding the belt. Mattel just lost a sale from me MOC-wise. Yeah, I'm gonna buy for loose, but if they had done it the way almost anyone/everyone would naturally PREFER, then I'd had bought AT LEAST 1 more MOC. Loose is fine, I can borrow an extra belt I have, but MOC isn't accurate and it will bother many others too, no doubt. This is one I would have definitely liked to hang on a wall, but no belt IS a deal breaker in that aspect at least. I get why it wasn't included, but drawing parallels to GAB Sting isn't the greatest analogy, because Sting did NOT have the belt before the match, but this DM of Savage is entrance attire included aka pre-match, and obviously in his case, Savage DID have the belt pre-match. Thus, to plenty of folks, that will be deemed unacceptable. They've already sold half as much to one collector, so if enough people think that way, who knows how sales will turn out. But then again, let's not kid ourselves, they took that gamble because of it not only being Savage, but coming with the robe. The new scan/headband is likely going to be their big excuse about no belt inclusion and frankly, that stinks |

⋔ 4 ℞ ℞ $ for arguement's sake - what if there is an IC belt under that robe? Would you then buy it MOC knowing that there is a risk that the one you have might be packaged incorrectly with a missing accessory (the I-C belt) - and you'll never know because the robe is closed?
