I don't think any DM has been at RSC before retail. At least not since they relaunched the DM line. I know I found both Sting figures a couple days before RSC shipped my preorders. They had Hogan iirc. They got him early enough for Xmas 2014. But I think he was the only one. Just thinking about the ones I had pre-ordered from RSC. First Flair, Hogan, Razor, both Stings & this Savage. With the exception of the Hogan I'm almost positive I found all the rest at Walmart a day or two before my RSC pre-order shipped. The only other one I am not 100% on where I got it first from was the first Flair. They are the same color, but they are a shade of pink. The trouble is he wore a duller pink at WMIII. Duller shade of pink my ass. That's about the same as the Punk tribute gear The gear on this figure is the Wrestlemania 4 trunks Like I said. The tribute figure and this figure have a brighter pink. The trunks are still shade of pink. Just not the shade he wore at WMIII. Purple trunks would be the RCS Macho King trunks...or the trunks on my custom in my signature below. Here is a comparison with my custom WMIII, the DM and then my custom light purple trunks on a purple backdrop. You can see the DM is a shade of pink. Of course looking at the pics you posted now shows my custom WMIII is also the wrong shade of pink. And I thought I had nailed it back when I made it. lol I think we need Nivro™ to take some screenshots with his super 4kHD tv like he did with the neon green attire.

Found two today and love this figure. Someone swapped out the robe on one with a Kerry Von Erich robe. People are nuts

I wish this came with alternate pink kneepads. I need an LJN style savage!

I love it, it may not be a perfect match to wm4 but that's what I'm using it for, it's much closer to wm4 light purple than it is to wm3s pink
Like I've been saying all along, it would be a home run if there was a running change and we got both WM attires out of this
Wowee..... I just realized why there's so many arguments about the colour of these trunks
I looked at the picture of the dm and battle pack on my iPad, Light purple/ kind of pink
Immediately go on my cell to save the pic to send to a friend, looks pink now...
Can't wait to see it in person.

Great figure. Looking forward to it. I think this will be the last Savage I buy however unless I get rid of some of my other ones if I like future Savage figures.

Can someone post a pic of this figure next to the cm punk BP Macho to see the difference in tights color? They are the same color, but they are a shade of pink. The trouble is he wore a duller pink at WMIII. Thanks for posting this pic PJ. I am not sure if its the angle of your photo but the head scan on the DM looks a lot better then it does on the pics that are posted on the Ringside website. That picture makes the face look horrible and bearing no likeness to Macho whereas with your pic I can see a resemblance although its still a bit off. I take back my criticism of the scan Bill, you did an excellent job with this figure and I can't wait to add this 'crown jewel' to my collection. It took a long time to get it but it was worth it- the robe itself was worth the wait. The trunks look like the same 'pink' colour as the Hart Foundation elites have. The trunks Macho wore look like they are more of a reddish pink so technically the DM trunks are pink just the wrong shade. Perhaps Bill did this intentionally as he is planning to give us a red trunks Macho at some point down the road.

I pre-ordered mine today. It says early June, so I think it should be coming soon. Even with the pink being alittle off, I'm still excited to own the figure just for the robe itself. The robe looks sick.

So incredibly stoked for this. Would love an Elite Steamboat to go with but it would never sell well enough to justify.

Pretty sure the DM, L1 and basic WMIII Steamboat figures all sold well. At least it seemed that way around here.

Perhaps those iterations of Steamboat sold well amongst collectors in certain areas, I just feel like in 2017, that figure would shelf warm like other characters of that type have in my area (Lost Legends Magnum, TNF Earthquake and Typhoon, NS Bossman, etc).

Kinda pink, shade of pink, still not "the pink". I place it more on the lavender scale which was considered macho man's purple trunks. He never had violet or plum trunks so his purple in WM4 is his purple. We got his orange, green, WM5 orange which had a dazzle look to it. After that he was all pants. So still waiting for IC title steal from Tito yellow trunks and the very rare blue which he never really had a famous match with. But I'll still wait here for the pink trunks macho which in my opinion never came out. The trunks he wore in WM3 were a dull pink. Not a sharp pink like Punk wore to honor him. I might have a photo of the actual trunks he wore because they showed up on eBay many years ago.

do the mattel heads pop off with a neck peg or a head peg. I was gonna change DF macho man's head with HOF macho king's head to see how it looks.

I might have a photo of the actual trunks he wore because they showed up on eBay many years ago. I'm watching the match now and its a pretty bright pink, and very different from the light purplish DM figure. I'm really not into the new head at all, and no-one has mentioned his hair was never that long.
