The figure is great and I'm going to get in anyways but I have to agree with 10. If it's marketed as a wrestlemania 3 Macho Man then it should be in the same attire. No matter how good the fig is or how long we've all waited for it, it's still not the correct attire.

Certain colors may cost extra money. We got the robe, a new head scan and the head band with it. It was probably a cost cutting measure. Bill knows his crap and didnt up, which some of you are assuming. I get that you want it accurate, but dont act like its the end of the world. The figure still looks amazing... If its the type of issue that will make contemplate murdering your family over, as you stare at it sitting on your shelf...dont buy it. Majority of you bitching probably didnt even realize till this thread was made. And no, before someone replies that accepting "subpar work" just allows mattel to "screw us".. acting like this wont make mattel change their business practices. Before losing your ing minds, its best to assume there was most likely a reason this color was used. What complete dribble. You obviously live in a small town, where if the wind blows too hard, you all think it's the end!!! I don't think anyone has said it is not a great figure. And of course there was a reason this colour was used (congrats Einstein) ... Perhaps it was due to them looking at a WM4 pic for reference or they had all the unreleased proto stock sitting there and used them to save money so they could do the robe and new head. Either way it is not WM3 accurate and that is what this figure is marketed as - that is my POINT not complaint.

If you can't afford pink dye don't do a WM3 Macho.
They clearly didn't make it purple by accident. There were prototypes for a purple Macho back in 2011. Macho was going to be in DM6, as a WM3 figure around the same time period. Those were prototypes for this DM. It was always going to be the wrong color

Definitely a major oversight on Mattel's part. I personally like the Purple better, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be corrected.
I always complained about the E23 Undertaker purple being wrong and they finally corrected that with the newest Lost Legends version. Hopefully they do the same here for those who really want the pink Savage.

Very valid complaint no matter what anyone says. Now some people might be fine with a light purple Savage but that doesn't mean the people that wanted the WrestleMania III Savage to be, you know, actually based on WrestleMania III should be criticized.

It's times like this where Mattel should bring back variants again. It would be pretty good if they did a running change (DM GAB Sting boots anyone?) and changed the trunks to pink although it would be VERY unlikely. Can't really fault most of you for wanting an accurate figure though.

Stop being such a ing **** Yeah see tbh mate there's nothing wrong with someone wanting a WM3 macho man defining moment to be just that. He has every right to wonder and be a bit miffed at the fact they have got it wrong. Calling people names just because you either don't mind paying for inaccurate figures or won't be getting the figure anyway is childish. There's really no need for it

...maybe, as they already had the purple trunks prototype, it kept the figure in budget so they could make the robe and new head-scan?

Syria is no different than Vietnam, which wasn't a world war, if that's what you mean Haha classic - at first glance I thought he was sarcastically saying that our silly lilac v hot pink debate was about to kick off WW3 but he is actually talking about the real world. Umm are we?! I've been too focused on this DM Macho Man having the purple pants to read the news

Hopefully this is a shady/strategic plan to release a HOF 2 pack of Steamboat/Savage inthe near future. Steamboat with new sculpt and white ring robe please.

Who would have thought that complaints about an incorrect Mattel figure would lead to so much arguing. Here's my surprise face.
