Beautiful. My only complaint is I wish it had the ic title because they haven't released it too often. Back during the legends day it seemed like one was in every line but the only recent figure I can remember with it is the razor.

The face will make or break this figure. The only good Macho scan so far has been the TNF WcW one. the elite 23 head and the nwo one both have good heads. The tnf head looks great with sunglasses on but when you take it off it's off. The elite 23 head is dead on though. |

it's funny how people think that complaining on a forum would get the company to do something if that ain't delusion, then I don't know what is. but about the figure: definite must get you're wrong. Plenty of people complained about the rubber belts and before that, the dull painted belts. They ended up changing both of them. They'll listen on certain things but this is already in post production so they're not changing the color. I don't notice a huge difference and it's a great looking figure so I couldn't care less if the purple is a different hue. |

They switched from the shiny vac painting to a dull paint. Look at elite Ezekiel Jacksons intercontinental title fOr example. Enough people complained that they went back completely. They tried the same crapwith the e37 Brock lesnar WWE title and enough people complained that they made an entirely new belt with actual plates. Complain enough and Mattel might just listen. However complaining about a finished product like macho or rhyno won't do anything because it's already been put in production. Hopefully in a case like rhyno they'll make a new figure with better parts. All depends. |

Unfortunately, I think there will be no running change, as you alluded to, on this new DM Savage because he sells. Thus, Mattel will either see the demand or already strategically planned ahead to squeeze more cash out of us on an eventual, proper, pink Macho Man Elite release. If that happens, like plenty have predicted thus far, then that just so happens to be one case where Matty would easily "double" their profits much to the annoyance of collectors. I wouldn't be surprised if a future, similar Savage even comes with an IC belt sans all the added accessories. |

I said before the wrong trunk color is devastating to me. Truely a major planning and production oversight. The person in charge of that figure would get an earful if I was their boss. I mean, the photos and probably the match was viewed many times preparing this figure and the mess up the trunks?
I can live without the belt because it can be found but Mattel customer service is going to get calls from me until this is corrected.
Unless the production piece really comes out pink and this purple is really just a sick prototype joke, then everyone will be getting a pink update down the road if I can help it!

Hahaha! I'm not a serious collector but I take Macho man seriously and oversights are annoying especially when they are obvious.
If we never got purple, I'd be happy because I like the purple best but then I'd still be waiting for pink and to place macho in a package that specifically details a moment in time, everything should be correct. Like the DM WM3 Hogan, great figure IMO
Hopefully my feedback helps you guys out and we get pink trunks.

$5 says they do a running change on the figure and we end up with both wm4 and wm3 savage and then everyone wins
Until then let's not get L.A on this prototype picture shall we?

I wish he came with the IC belt, But even without it, it takes away nothing for the figure itself.
