It’s a nice figure, but I won’t be buying it. I would have much rather of seen a legend we haven’t seen yet get an exclusive. There are to many Macho Man’s imo.

I am conflicted because I agree with the sentiment that I rather see a character that has been underrepresented considering exclusives like this have been the opportunity to get Shockmaster in the line or the first ever Isaac Yankem.
On the flip side, even though this is almost a glorified advertisement, it is so unique and in a way, sentimental, that I can easily see myself picking up two - one to open and one to keep in that fancy box.

Yes. But I voted no. I'll never be able to buy him in person. And I refuse to shop from a scalper. So why get my Hope's up. It's my understanding that RS and some other place will allow you to order them before SDCC.

I’m pumped, everything about it is what I’d want it to be even despite the tights color not being spot on. The packaging, the jacket and the fact that this commercial is massive nostalgic to me equals a win

It’s cool and it looks great but the colors yellow and red together are so hideous together The Babe Ruth of wrestling wore those exact colors... I get it but in real life the ketchup and mustard color scheme is atrocious

It's certainly not my favorite. When I think of Macho Man in those eras I think of wild mismatched colors and loud neon. But it is a neat piece to add to the collection. I don't mind all the Machos and Warriors because there are just SO DAMN MANY COOL ATTIRES, and they were a huge part of my childhood. I am in the same boat with everyone else at the same time asking "Can we get some guys not made yet?" though at the same time.

With the packaging, the pose, the accessories it’s gonna be one of Mattel’s coolest figs after the line is said and done. I wish I could afford 2 but I’m definitely ordering 1to keep MOC on the 18th.

I will get it if I can get it without a load of hassle. I love my WCW Macho in black/red/yellow but the extras here make it cracker.

Yet another example of how he’s “just like all of us” and gets “no special treatment” 😂 screw him. Can’t wait for this show to die so people can stop referencing it

It's neat they did it. But, they should have done the correct colors on the tights for accuracy and it would have just looked way better imo. I get the reasoning to change it up, but it would look better if it were screen accurate.

Eh, not as an online or SDCC exclusive. It's the definition of a figure I'd get if found in stores, but wouldn't rush to order online.

Seems like the ebay scalpers are at it already. Pre-selling this figure on ebay at $75 a pop.

Can’t wait for this show to die so people can stop referencing it now now. for all we know he could have been hunting for it, and randomly came across it vis-a-vis entering a time machine and traveling through time to SDCC. There is no proof he got special treatment.

I get the reasoning to change it up, but it would look better if it were screen accurate. All I know is now I better figure out where I last saw that Macho Man elite with the proper coloring. I swear I saw it hunting a while back in a bashed in box. I will need it to do a swap.I think it'll look much better with the accurate pants.
