Wow, I had no idea the WM7DM was the first Savage Mattel figure. Might be my favorite figure in my Mattel collection.

Defining Moments This is hands down top 3 in my collection, it’s one of those figures that I sometimes just take off the shelf and stare at for a bit

Pretty rad Macho Man after the over decade long hiatus of no Savage figures. It'd be nice if we got to appreciate them more instead of having him made several times every year.

Even though the packaging says "Macho Man" he was "Macho King" at WM7. If we're being literal then the first ever "Macho Man" figure was Legends Series 5. That being said, the first Savage figure is the WM7 DM. Macho king had a face turn by the end of the match and then was forced to retire. I thought this was when he became macho man again and was not referred to as macho king anymore. I'm not sure though. Anyone remember if he was called macho king still beyond this event? Neat little tidbit. After the retirement match. Coliseum video had a match of him against Rick Martel from April of 1991 and they mentioned that he had signed for the match before the career match so he was honoring his contract. He was cheered and had Elizabeth in his corner and everything. Might want to look on youtube for that little gem. I forget what video it was on. I know I have it on one of my converted DVDs.

Great figure the detail on the hat & jacket really puts it over the top as fantastic. The complimentary warrior dm is also great & makes it even better having both. My fav match & figures that got me into collecting Mattel

I remember rushing home from work and seeing they made that Macho Man. From that day on I was hooked on Mattel. Couldn’t believe how great that figure looked.

I remember my girlfriend (now wife) preordering this figure off RSC. Still have it MOC. Wish I would’ve gotten a 2nd one to open up.
