Opened my Savage today. That weight belt is something else. I would have preferred to be able to get it around his waist with the shirt on, but the shirt bunches up and adds too much thickness for it to work, so I followed Alex West's example and kinda rolled the shirt up, which made my disappointment fade a bit. Otherwise, it's a great figure. I went with the tongue out face on display, simply because it's one I don't have on my Macho Man shelf yet. Yeah, I’ll have to try rolling the shirt up and see how that looks. My complaint on both nwo & new gen macho is the loose bobble head on them all. You can get it how you like and pose it fine but a slight touch and it is way too loose |

It's the only one that has an extruded peg hole...the other two just have holes bored into the head, which I think makes them much more rigid and less flexible for easy swapping. |

Looks like it’ll be a return 😒 Same,I'm just gonna keep it for my loose collection but I received Macho and two of the Sammy exclusives and all three was pretty beat up. Disappointing since they been doing such a good job shipping over the last year but these 3 figures and last two or three Funko orders I've received over the last week or two haven't been great |

Got my Macho yesterday in the mail. This figure is such a bummer imo. The weight belt doesn't fit, he has light staining on the shoulders from the shirt, the shirt sleeves are offensively bad, and none of the heads are great imo. I love how the legs turned out, and I've been dying for the caged Madness shirt, but this is one of weakest Ultimates to-date for me. Probably doesn't help that I opened my NHB set and Supreme Cody at the same time and those are easily figures of the year. Here was my low effort attempt to fix him up some. Maybe I’ll swap the arms down the road to fix the staining. Meh.  |

Probably doesn't help that I opened my NHB set and Supreme Cody at the same time and those are easily figures of the year. I’m glad I finally got this macho yesterday but I agree. It’s definitely one of the weaker (weakest?) ultimates in my collection. The reasons you stated plus the loose head. The bandana doesn’t fit great in the head either. I do like the pants/ boots legs with the tassels. Like you it probably doesn’t help I just opened up the new gen macho and UE15 warrior (plus the diesel & doink couple weeks before that). |

The figure was really beat up, but the gloves were in nice shape. I think I got it for $12 shipped on Ebay. I’m glad I finally got this macho yesterday but I agree.

Yeah agreed on this too. It seems like it was a bandana made for that smaller version of the head they used to use for him, but it doesn't fit the bigger FX style heads. It just doesn't sit snuggly on him. Looks kind of stocking capish. |

punksnotdeadYeah, reused bandana from an older release made for a different head. This figure feels like a quick cash grab not a huge upgrade like others redos Mattel’s done. I love the macho man so gotta get it but it is what it is. Nice job with the gloves. I may have to steal that idea for mine.

So to add insult to all of us who pre-ordered and waited AND paid full price, he is now on sale on Target's site for $23.09!

I went ahead and ordered another for myself plus all of wave 14 for my sons Christmas, and it came out to 20 a piece there was a $10 off on the circle. |

My nwo macho seems fine, but my new gen macho has a loose neck, so I stuck some tp in the hole and fixed it. Was gonna use a rubber band but that seemed harder to hide. Just took a tiny piece of toilet paper rolled it between my fingers like making a mini joint (lol) stuck around it and tucked it in, and added more as need. |

So to add insult to all of us who pre-ordered and waited AND paid full price, he is now on sale on Target's site for $23.09! I think visually the figure is beautiful, but it has it's flaws. I absolutely hate the torso choice. Mach's arms cannot lay flat and the head can't move to sides due to being stuck on the peg like a bobble head. I think the arms are also too small. The shirt tassles I could kind of deal with. I'm thinking maybe I could fix the heads with a dremel? I just got off with Target CS, so if you guys want a price match go and speak to them. I noticed right after, I sent in a request for a new set of Acolytes since Surepost claims they left two figure boxes inside my apartment mailbox. So I had to order a new set, now I have to wait to return the first batch I got sent as a replacement. What a mess. |

I got like $10 and some change. For the Acolytes they couldn't cancel my order (mind you it was within 5 minutes of ordering the replacements). So I had to order a new set (the ones on sale), then return the ones that were supposed to be the replacement to get the discount. A huge mess for something so simple. |

How reliable are Target shipping dates generally?
They have Macho down as "Get it by Sun, Oct 9" - if I order can I rely on it arriving by that date, or how are your guys' experience with Target online orders?
My sister is in the US right now so I'm thinking about sending in an order for delivery to her hotel, but obviously can't risk it arriving after she leaves - a week or two later would be fine but no more.

I would order ASAP. Sometimes they're on time, other times you'll be waiting for after the delivery date if it's using some like UPS surepost. I'm in NYC, I think every state might be different. |

Thanks for the advice - I've contacted the hotel to confirm they will accept this, and what info they want on the label so hopefully I hear back from them before the offer ends. |
