but its the only macho i actually wanted ...they've already done the main 2 UE Macho's I wanted: his neon-cowboy look and his black and white NWO look, so anything else is gravy. I would like a Coliseum Collection Macho in trunks (with a robe) too though... 🤓 to me the Macho Ultimates left a lot to be desired, i guess the first ultimate was good but not as good as this one was going to be, i just think they could have gone with more colorful outfits

Also, the fact that Steve hasn't said anything immediately is really not a big deal. Like, he doesn't need to rush to every message board or social media outlet to declare what's going on with this figure. When it's time, we will find out. What happened to patience?The Internet.

but with comic con coming not gonna dread too much.

Karma for all those re-releases Mattel constantly are putting out these days. And yes, I count this as a re-release.

Is this why they randomly put a Cody Rhodes Ultimate Edition on RSC to compensate for no Macho King?

Randy Savage shouldn't have said what he said on Twitter if he didn't want consequences. Tough break!

Sorry where is the info of Macho no longer being available coming from? Are people assuming that just because this one figure was canceled? In the 13+ years of Mattel making WWE figs, have they ever canceled a figure for any other reason than the talent no longer being under contract or politically incorrect issues? We know it’s not the latter so the assumption is the former. *also figs have been canceled cuz the retailer no longer wanting to carry the line which also doesn’t appear to be the case here. Basic Senshi And battle packs 12 the whole damn set

Yeah, I guess we really should just shut up and consume product. How dare people speculate or express disappointment when a figure they want is canceled or something before they hear what happened officially. What do we think this is, a collector's forum or something? You forgot we are supposed to get excited about new product.

This is pretty disappointing. I guess like others have mentioned here I really hope it's not the end of Macho Man in the line as he's absolutely one of my favorites of all time. I generally make it point to grab all of the Macho's they release.

It's an amazing figure, and hopefully we get it at some point. This could be a matter of timing since Lanny's death, if the deal expired and there is no clear succession in place for Randy's estate or a deal cannot be finalized while Lanny's estate is unsettled. Macho generates a ton of revenue for WWE, and WWE for Randy's estate. I doubt this is the end of the Macho Man in the line.

Lanny was just the mouthpiece.

What I heard from a buddy of an acquaintance’s third cousin (twice removed) that they heard from their barber who also cuts the hair of one of the Village People that they took offense to him calling himself Macho Man, because he wasn’t really a Macho Man so they filed a protest with Mattel, but then King Charles caught wind of the protest and he also filed one saying Randy wasn’t really a King let alone a Macho King like himself so in fear of the backlash Mattel pulled it. That’s the Gods honest truth. Hand to God.

I love wild speculation and outlandish theories. Same. I just keep watching here, IG, and FB just to see all these reactions. I'm glad I have some really good popcorn.

I think it’s highly entertaining. I don’t understand why some people get so worked up and feel the need to defend Mattel and/or AFA. This is a figure many of us wanted and folks have a right to be upset about it. Let’s just have fun with it and we’ll find out the truth soon enough But in the meantime… 🍿🍿🍿

Well seeing as the originals were both released around the same time, Mattel can replace this UE Macho with an UE of the Defining Moments Ricky Steamboat in full dragon gear. Thank you please.

Pretty sure this is Hogan politicking. At the moment he has the most UE figures at 4. He woulda been at 5 but the Nitro set wasn’t funded. Macho currently has 3 and the WM7 fig woulda put him in a tie with Hogan. Had the WCW Hogan figure been put into production I don’t think there would be an issue and we’d still get this Macho. But there’s no way Hulk is allowing Savage to have the same amount of UE figs as him. Especially when you take into consideration that Savage as the early bird was the main factor of getting that project funded and Hogan’s early bird couldn’t even get em halfway there.
