If the license did expire I would love storm collectables to pick it up and give us some figures and a 1/4 scale Statue like the did for Hogan a while back. Those were nice and I think they'd crush some macho figs and Statues

Sorry for the more violent response, PJ , but all that punching wore me out... I was like Foreman against Ali. Itâs ok. I know this whole Macho Man situation has you very stressed. In all seriousness, this does suck. I was really looking forward to the figure. That WrestleMania 7 match is one of my all-time favorites, so getting both figures from that match was very high on my want list. But not only that, there were so many more Macho Man/King looks that they needed to do, including from your favorite periods of the 80s. I know a Coliseum Collection Macho Man was high on your list as well. I really hope this is a short time thing, and they get access back to him soon. It would be a shame if we never get anymore Macho Man/King figures from Mattel. |

Macho is a basically a repaint of 2 prior ultimates so whatâs the deal probably the best ultimate and best Macho figure we've had, before it would have been Definig Moments for best Macho I would have grabbed it before the UE was announced |

I feel contempt towards them. We pay for the product they put out and they feel that they don't have to explain the status of a tried and true WWE Mattel mainstay and brush under the carpet i think its WWE forcing them to keep quiet about things |

I'll be the one to say it, but I'm okay. The last Macho I bought was the WCW Target exclusive and it was more or less what I wanted for my collection. There's some other Macho's I've wanted throughout the years, but nothing drastic imo. Sucks for those who had this figure on preorder and were really looking forward to more Macho's. I wouldn't mind if we didn't get any more Warriors either, but that's more to see the meltdown on the forums lol. Yeah... I've only bought 1 of the last 4 or 5 Elite Macho Man. I'd have liked this UE - and a Coliseum Collection figure, but after that, I'm good. Same with Warrior... I'm getting there with Hulk and Bret too (and others). |

Yea that one is ok but a 1/4 statue with a soft good robe should be made |

C'mon folks. This is not our first time down this path and we know that Mattel is tight lipped in the best of circumstances. I'll save you the anticipation.
Tom: "A lot of people have been asking about a recent Macho Man figure. Anything you can share with collectors?"
Steve: "Unfortunately sometimes things change. It's something we'd love to revisit if we're able. You never know."

Better that than endless speculation. |

The estate made the decision to hand the license to bush league companies like Zombie Sailor and âBig Rubber Guysâ as opposed to an exclusive contract with a global company like Mattel? Iâm sure they did their due diligence prior to the decision which makes me think Mattel
lowballed them?
Crazy to think they stand to make more money licensing these products vs Mattelâs capabilities. I wouldâve thought that cancelled Ultimate Savage wouldâve made more profit than the BRG and Zombie toys combined.
Maybe this deal eliminates WWEâs cut?

Mattel can only make who WWE has a contract with that includes figures |

If Macho truly ends up being off the table then that does open up slots for other legends.
Be a real good opportunity to put an Ultimate Hardcore Kane in that slot

Say what you will about Zombie Sailor, at least the Major Pod guys actually deliver actual products. Itâs not an endless series of pre orders and concept art.
