Except for the Mega Powers logo on the back of the trunks. Well, yeah... a bit of acetone should easily remove that though. Never put acetone on the torso or crotch piece - it will ruin your figure. They're both made of a different plastic that acetone just eats away. |

They're both made of a different plastic that acetone just eats away. Ah... I thought diluted acetone would be ok. If not, just a bit of yellow/matching paint would do (it's on the back of the trunks, so you don't really have to be an expert š). |

Been waiting for Mega Powers for some time since the release of the Elizabeth. Happy to see that theyāre now giving Macho the tan!

Or a Megabucks

Even though, I donāt have any intentions of purchasing it. This pack looks fantastic. Ironically, my favorite thing is that Macho has the hotdog tone complexion.

Gotta remember Wfigs love to say āI want this so bad!ā Then wait for it to go on clearanceā¦then be mad when itās gone and twice as much somewhere elseā¦ |

Need a better Savage facescan. He looks like a Bollywood actor/ Messian cosplay with an Akeem hat. Plus instead of a glittering robe he has a piece of red cloth. I don't know why they gave Hogan that DM facescan. Even with the updated tan it still doesn't look good. Are we just settling for this? I feel like one day there could be an updated version that will be ten times better. You just never have anything positive to say huh? |

At the price point it should be better. |

I guess they couldn't give hulk the survivor series face since it would be the same fig lol. Is machos robe the one he wore at SummerSlam against the mega bucks? I remember that being so beautiful. This one here doesn't come across as that. It looks like something from Ralphs lol. I will still buy it but it's not day one purchase. |

Looks like Macho has been given the orange skin treatment now. The recent Hogan's standing next to any other "tan" figures from the past, it's a difference between night and day. Personally I think it's a bit much in contrast.

It is the same one, it just doesn't have the sequins to make it sparkle.  |

I donāt love the set.
Maybe something will change my mind later but I thought this would be an auto buy. I think hogan looks like a very plain figure that I donāt need and machos robe doesnāt look high quality. The new heads donāt look flattering. The molded shaking hands is probably the best part of this. Moc it isnāt great either imo

You gotta DIY the sequins with your own fabric glue and glitter. They definitely cheaped out on Macho's robe compared to his last Defining Moments robe or even something like Elite Freddie Blassie's jacket.
After seeing this skintone on Macho, I hope they'll tweak it in the future to skew more reddish brown hot dog and less Cheeto neon orange.
F--- man, the closed eyes on Hogan and the handshake hands are such great touches.

Im not a fan of giving Savage the Hogan skin tone. That really should be special for just Hogan.

Is the belt hidden? I don't see it in the MOC package. Also I agree about Machos robe. Really needs that sparkle.
