It doesn't bother me too much. The color isn't too far off, and it's not very noticeable.

I plan on buying two so I can just put one of the robes (and yellow pads) on my pink trunks Macho and call it a day. I do have every Macho released to date minus the basic NWO set at my TRU now and the WalMart t-shirt figure...and as I have stated before the light purple trunks is the only version of Macho Man I have wanted since day one. So it will be replacing my custom purple trunks figure.

Ill get 2 or 3 myself, if you need boxes lmk I would offer the boxes, but whenever I try to open a DM or Elite carefully to keep the box in perfect condition I normally tear it...but the ones I don't want to keep the box special always come out perfectly. lol

Definitely think that a figure based on WM3 should have at least the same color of trunks Savage wore at WM3. Especially at the price point we're paying for DM figures. Now, when we get a figure based on this attire: It damn well better have that gloriously huge ridiculous feather.

No... it's Randy Savage. The beard & hair combo probably threw you off.

you know...it IS kind of embarrassing, that the multi-billion dollar company that makes wrestling action figures, produces a line called "Defining Moments" to which the figure is based on a VERY specific moment from his career....and they get the attire wrong.
like....in the grand scheme of things....it doesnt matter, i know that.
but ffs, this is a premium line, the figure is supposed to represent Macho Man from Wrestlemania 3, when he wore that robe and had what is considered one of the greatest wrestling matches ever. what are wrestling figures? they are supposed to be plastic representations of the actual human being they are molded after from specific moments that actually existed.
and they HAVE the parts, and colors to be able to make an accurate figure. i dont understand how things go through months and months of "approval" and end up coming out wrong.

Idm, this figure is my definitive Macho Man and I can't wait till I get this as I'll finally have a Macho Man in trunks with a awesome robe. The colour may be off but at least it is still an actual attire he once wore.

And NOPE. right. thats the point here....when Mattel started making Savage everyone was pretty much in agreement that we wanted an Elite from WM3.... so we got a battle pack with CM Punk in pink and Savage in Purple trunks Then we also got an Elite with a completely made up attire (All-Stars) and a few other figures in trunks nothing close to WM 3 after years of waiting we get a $25 Defining Moments figure with the Wrestlemania 3 robe, and the ring attire from Wrestlemania 4.......like......HOW?

it must cost like $3 per figure for mattel to make the normal, small kneepads
i cant think of any other reason why we continue to get those horrendous leg sleeves posing as kneepads on SO MANY figures
