Suggestion.
Rerelease Macho in a HOF 2pack with Steamboat. Give Steamboat a gi and release Savage with pink trunks. Elite, please. No robe,no belt. Maybe a ring bell.

Make another Mach DM in pink trunks with one of his robes from WM4 or an elite of the pink trunks with the red IC belt

Don't know what I would want more in a Steamboat/Savage HOF 2 pack, pink trunk Macho Man/white tights Dragon (WM3) or red trunks/blue kneepads Randy/red tights Ricky (crushed larynx match). Probably the latter.

The thing is though, it's not a general elite. It's a Defining Moment, on the back of the box it lists the defining moment, but the figure attire does not match the moment. General elite figures don't claim to be from a specific moment generally, and this figure does. That's why people are complaining Rightly so.

Don't list or say it's from a specific match if the attire doesn't match the said time , place or match. It wouldn't have been that tough to make it in the exact colors from that match.

I agree with everyone about the mix and match of these attires. It's incredibly annoying for these figures to be either the wrong shade of an attire or random attires put together. I wonder why so many figures have the incorrect colors when it comes to attires the elite 20 Punk, Flair, the new basic Rollins gray is off, Roman Reign's skintone, Farooq being too dark skinned etc, plus to add with the additional wrong part choices. I think this figure is cool and I think at the very least it has an accurate attire he did wear but still I get the gripe behind wanting the tights he wore with this robe.

Not sure why some of you bothered to comment... I mean in future for any figure that comes with any clothing, there is clearly no need to even worry about the figure having a skin tone underneath cos "you're just gonna keep the robe on". ...the main selling point of the figure is the robe though. And it's not as though he has bright green trunks on underneath... they're just more purple than pink - a lot of people (and no doubt MDT) hadn't even noticed. I can see why it bothers some people, but for me it doesn't take away the overall awesomeness of the figure.

I'm amazed that some people aren't bothered by this (especially when some people often get bothered by the silliest things). This is a Defining Moment figure for one of the greatest matches in WWE history and the color of his trunks is WRONG. It's not just a different shade or something, it's PURPLE vs. PINK.
Not great.

Folks, this isn't a colour debate. Yet many are focusing on the similarities between light purple and pink - which is bizarre in itself. My point and my point alone is ... the colour of trunks (light purple) chosen for this DM figure is a DIRECT match for the colour of attire (light purple) that Randy Savage wore at Wrestlemania 4 against Butch Reed and One Man Gang. It is not the attire he wore at WM3 against Ricky Steamboat. So... as a few have caught on, why go to all the trouble making an accurate WM3 themed box and of course headband and robe - only to paint the trunks the colour from a different match. I REPEAT - THEY HAVE CLEARLY REFERENCED WM4 PHOTOS WHEN DECIDING THE COLOUR OF TRUNKS FOR THIS FIGURE.... My question is WHY? And lastly, to the following people that are either... - not bothered what colour the trunks are - didn't even know there was a difference - keeping robe on so won't see them anyway - think light purple and bright pink are the similar colours - not a big Macho Man fan - not bothered about accuracy - or just a keyboard warrior Congratulations to you all. If I was like you folks, I wouldn't care either.

I think the sleeves on the robe are too short. The purple trunks don't really bother me, but I was expecting an awesome robe.

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 crapand 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.

Again. I'm thrilled because I wanted a wm4 light purple attire.
Best case scenario and theres a running change / variant that allows us to have two very similiar attires

I say it's strategic. They will release a Macho / Steamboat HOF 2 pack based on WM 3 Then we will want two of them, one to put robe on and one without robe. Then we can take the WM4 version out from under the robe
Or as someone else suggested. Sell double the DM figures. Just make it a running change to pink They know what they're doing
