Picked up GameStop Macho today;
Way overpriced. I mean it’s a repaint of the ultimate maniacs macho which you can get for $10 but...
The box is really cool and well designed. Definitely nostalgia to the old arcade games. I don’t think I’ll be able to open it. If they get marked down or clearanced maybe I can grab one to display loose.
Kind of wish they would of used an attire from 1990-1991 as a nod to the arcade game Wrestlefest which the packaging is inspired by. Then again having a less desired attire for macho makes it easier to keep it displayed in box. Just wish Macho was wearing hat in package.
Overall pretty cool

I got one the other day. Packaging is cool but this figure is way too expensive at $29.99.

Going to pass on the line altogether. The packaging isn't unique. Arcade cabinets have been a thing for decades. In fact, it's an MOC nightmare. With DM, EG, and now this, it is painfully obviously Mattel thinks we are easily impressed by boxes.

Picked up the figure today. Not bad. Wasn't going to because of the price and the attire isn't one of the ones I want of his, but, Gamestop was offering %20 anything in their store with a purchase of the NES Classic (which is what I was there to buy) so I picked up the Macho figure for $23.99. For those wondering about removing the sticker, the sticker comes of pretty easy and doesn't leave any residue (paper or glue).

I got my Macho Man yesterday and I too am considering keeping him MOC.
Probably going to pass on Michaels and get Honky Tonk when he comes out.
