Can you not just do what they do in real life, and put a skirt on top of a skirt? Then just 'flip' the front one behind the back one to change it? My ring hasn't been used in a long time (just dug it out of storage), so it's very loose and worn, but like what I did here (SmackDown! behind RAW) Or is there a reason that wouldn't work on this ring?  I try to avoid damaging anything that I may choose to sell later down the line. If you use the elastic provided, the skirts stack and it looks really messy and uneven. I did that with a different ring and it just never looked clean. Tying it with other pieces would have been an option as well but again, it would have looked a little messy. It’s much easier to pull off in real life because they have a proper tying method. |

My Macho Man can join my ring etc in becoming a fully fledged citizen of Gambia as I won't see it. Personally I don't understand why they don't add the tracking number to your email when it's being sent. I wonder if it has something to do with those European shipping companies being too outdated to integrate with Mattel’s system. Mattel’s emails seem auto-generated and FedEx is a billion dollar company with pretty advanced logistics software. But I’m just pulling this outta my butt based on my limited programming knowledge. |

Did you guys that have Macho tracking receive an email from Mattel like the email we got for the ring? I already have my arena in hand, but no email for Macho yet.

Has everyone received their new gen ring yet or is Mattel creations still shipping them. Thanks for any info Still waiting on 2 of mine to arrive (UK). Partly because Parcel Force seems to have lost one of them though. I ask cause I bought one off eBay from a seller and he said he’s not received it yet that Mattel creations emailed him and said it would be shipped anywhere from this coming friday or the following Monday. I guess I’ll wait and see if he gets it or not. Thanks for the info guys. |

Here's a fun, interesting NGA pic no one has done, yet. This is what it looks like when your batteries are dying. I honestly wish this was a legit setting. 😁  |

Aren’t the LEDs just white and the translucent plastic imbedded in the arch is what affects the color? Edit: I just realized the red lights are the only ones lit up. Ignore my dumbness. |

I’m not sure of this. Sorry. well…seems pretty f***ing important. I have a total of 5 coming and fed ex has it in two separate orders that have not shipped. Hopefully, since multiple are shipping at the same time they have a bigger box to put them in. At least, lets hope |

well…seems pretty f***ing important. I can’t speak for anyone who ordered just one Macho, but for anyone getting more than one… I had two different orders for the New Gen Set (ordered multiple in both orders). Obviously, each set shipped individually. However, for Macho, I only have two shipments, and they are both significantly different weights. So that makes me think that if you ordered multiple, they are definitely shipping in a separate box. Same here. 2 tracking numbers. One of the orders is heavier than the other. Looks like if you had ordered multiple sets at one time. Those Machos will ship in the same box! Great news for me. Curious to see what happens with single orders though |

Lose the ing attitude. Steve works in marketing not shipping. I agree that he was probably a little harsh. But it’s not unfair to connect bad shipping practices to marketing. Steve markets the Mattel product. Getting the item into actual customers’ hands is kind of a big deal of the process. And if the reputation of that suffers, that definitely affects marketing Shipping is logistics. Marketing is not logistics. |

Shipping is logistics. Marketing is not logistics. Dude… anything that affects the perception of the company can affect marketing. How dense are you? Plus, Steve HAS in fact answered questions here before that are out of the scope of his position anyway. So either way, it wasn’t unfair to ask him about it. Twitter levels of stupid here I swear. Marketing and Public Relations are not interchangeable. Marketing is all about selling the product up front, PR would be handling any issues after the fact. It’s fine to ask him whatever, but he can still only give the answers he actually has information about. |

My mom was the head of the marketing department of the company she worked for until she retired. I think I picked up a thing or two from her. |

I don’t want to see anyone tagging anybody from the Mattel team if your Macho Man comes soaking wet and smashed in only a shipper.

Steve has answered questions outside his typical scope before. So it wasn’t an unreasonable question. The only unreasonable part was the WAY it was asked. Apparently that is beyond comprehension here. Let’s just agree to disagree. We’re all on the same side here. Unless we’re not and then we figure out what the sides are and grab a blunt instrument from the weapon pile. |

I don’t want to see anyone tagging anybody from the Mattel team if your Macho Man comes soaking wet and smashed in only a shipper. Dude these clowns calling out your question. It was a totally fair point. For the record, I DO think they are shipping the Macho shipper in a separate box. Definitely for multiples. For singles, jury is still out I guess. But it would be silly to protect one and not the other. I know it sounded harsh now but I didn’t really mean it to be so serious. It seems like something he’d be dialed into considering he seems to have answers on just about anything else, especially related to the crowdfunded project that he played such a big role in. Knowing if Mach’ is coming packed well seems like it would be on the same level as when he gave us updates when the sets were on the ocean, how the arena was packed, etc. Not “marketing” questions per se but not far off from the other information he has. I got sent a UE HBK from Amazon smashed to hell and it was just in a shipper box. I can’t imagine how people are gonna feel if their Macho Man gets rained on, smashed along the way, whatever the case might be. |
