It's like a disgruntled ex employee took the basic tall Boot mold with him when he was fired.

...so of all the Macho heads, they pick the one that probably looks the worst without the headband and shades? Hmmm...

Macho's my dude and all but I'll have to pass. The short boots really kill it for me. I would've let it slide if they at least added a crown and sunglasses. It would've been an instant buy if they added gold knee pads as a nod to the Hasbro figure as well.

In case you have forgotten Mattel, the boots on the left are the ones you should be using Randy Savage. You can find them on the Ted Dibiase Entrance Great figure. The boots on the right a horrible choice for any Randy Savage and should never be used again. Thank you.

Hopefully he's released as an elite with, you know, the right size boots.

I might be mistaken, but doesn't the basic macho in the Macho fan pack have tall boots?

It's good to see people calling out Mattel's mistakes. I feel the same way about Sting and unfortunately I don't see them correcting his boots either ('97-'98 Sting wore tall boots and current Sting wears short glossy boots). On the bright side at least they have the tall boot for Macho.

Jeez, stop with the freaking repeat attires, it kills secondary value and is boring. I'm not a monetary collector who is going to resell but it is fun having a figure that is valued a little more than others. It make toy runs boring. I was going to pick this one up, but I don't need to now. If this had been the pink or yellow checker attire I would have been all over it. Eh, I don't think it'll kill the secondary value all that much. The other one was vastly superior, came with all sorts of accessories, and was, of course, an elite. I can agree with you on the repeat attire on it being kind of a buzzkill. But I pretty much figured it was going to be this attire when it was announced in the basic series due to the expenses they'd have to use with deco hits and all sorts of stuff whether true or not.

I'll buy it bc it's Macho but already have the exclusive. They could have went with a less glamorous attire like the red and white long tights he wore for example.

Beyond the boots, biggest issue to me is he should've came with the crown, at least. It's rare, but not unheard of for Basics to come with accessories.

Did he ever wear this attire? I thought he'd been dressing like an effeminate cowboy long before he became king. Yes, he wore the outfit when he first became King. It wasn't until later he went coked up Neon Cowboy with Sherri going above and beyond with her getups and facepaint.

I'm starting to think that they don't have the proper size basic calf. DiBiase is too short. Maybe the short boots/long calves is a way to get the fig taller. Either way it's incorrect. EG boots with slightly longer than DiBiase calves but much shorter than Savage calves would be perfect.

Using the DiBiase parts would make his basics and elites closer in height.

Couple of days and I'm still disappointed with it.
