I like it, but think it would look better with brown hair and orange skin.

I counted the votes on both Instagram and Facebook, there is no way that Macho won. What was the point in the poll? Regardless, I really like the figure. I think it will look great next to the Flair figure we got from Hasbro. I'm also very excited for Lord Alfred Hayes. Am I the only one that likes it when parts are reused? People say they want Hasbro like . . . well guess what Hasbro reused a lot of parts. I don't understand the dislike if the parts look nice. I guarantee he's going to release many many macho figures.

I actually like that Savage, and I wouldn't even be bothered if the paint came out more yellow than gold. My only concern with it, as with all of the Grapplers line, is actual quality. How do they hold up in hand? Are they overly fragile, etc?

The worry also is when you see photos its generally a hand-painted prototype and the production line doesn't look as good.

I like the figure, but I do agree with others, how is the final product going to look? Hopefully he doesn't use the same excuse as he did with the Men on a Mission gold color of the tights. Turning this into bright yellow would look awful.

Just now getting a chance to watch Mitch’s live video from last night. A few new reveals (that I’m aware of):
-A second Macho Man figure (looks to be like his last Hasbro in the white and green outfit?) -ANOTHER British Bulldog (heel with short hair and long tights) -Black and yellow Marc Mero -Elite Scale/7 Inch scale Al Snow
Also said the seams will be going away.

Is that the third Marc Mero? Also, I wonder if he will be bothering to add articulation to the Al Snow...all the Kurt Fuller got was arm articulation...

He said there would be more articulation with the wrestling figures but did not think it was necessary for suited figures and that it makes for a cleaner look. My argument is that they could at least be posed in a seated position. It might actually be less expensive to mold two swappable sets of legs (one seated and one standing) then to have articulated thighs and knees. Yes, that is three Mero’s (glad someone is keeping score)! Red will be standard, black/silver will be limited, and black/yellow will be the rarest though I’m not sure how each will be available. I need to re-Watch to see if that is covered.

Personally, I think Macho looks great - but all depends on the construction and execution

So are the additional Mero's going to be preorders? Or is it a luck of the draw for those that ordered the regular version?

I need to re-Watch to see if that is covered. See, that's what gets me abit, sure I could be the minority,but isn't he calling this his premium line or something? Also, its an action figure. If people want to do figure photography with this even having the slightest articulation in the legs will help. To me, it's a way for him to cut costs and corners. Il be very interested to hear what he is planning to charge for this.

None of the suited Hasbros had articulated legs.

Interesting choice on the skin color for his Macho Man. I wonder if that'll be adjusted before production.

I think his Macho looks great! It’s definitely Hasbro-ish.
