Chairshot just whip up a side by side of this macho king and the monkey arm zombie its hilarious Agree 1000% with Chairshot here that this is the most hasbro looking Macho retro's done by the 3 companies and incredible job on the Macho tan. I ordered the long tights shoot out Hockey version as I just ordered the Mattel Retro Macho series 9 to go with the upcoming Liz. I hope Jack makes either the WM6 long tights Macho king or the outfit thats on the iconic Macho King shirt. What a great surprise today job well done!! It was hard to watch ZST and Mitch (and MWFP and Latoonie) make all of their announcements while keeping this one a secret. I think that Zombie has done a tremendous job with the detail of his outfits. Mitch is banging out some fun classic looks. But my opinion - which is biased - the WSW is the most Hasbro-like retro Macho man figure. Lots of love went into this and I think that shows.

I ordered both, immediately. That savage is gonna pair great with the new liz at first, having seen them, I wasn't that taken by the finger pose, but realistically that's one iconic look for Randy, and FC have done him the justice he deserves with the pink trunks figure!
now I'm debating - buy the bodysuit, or the trunks? I certainly don't need both, but having the pink trunks alongside the new Liz would be a good look, but I think the bodysuit Macho just looks slightly better
in the words of Natalie Imbruglia, "I'm torn"!

Im in the pink trunks camp, I have no nostalgia or feelings towards the other one but it does look cool

Already looking into an alternative set of arms for one of the two to have a little variation. Most likely will try the original Hasbro Macho orange tights arms. Also thinking about Superfly and BW Luke. Really depends on skintone.

Wow….what a cool surprise! Don’t really get that much these days with all the modern-style promo schtick.
Both look cool, but that outfit based on the hockey game figure just hits me…feels like a true representation of what a Hasbro version might’ve looked like.

Does anybody in the UK have any idea if Action Figure Cellar is still the way to go for FC or am I better off buying direct? Having listened to 3poa I’m not sure moving to the EU will do us many favours.

as I understand it (and happy for AFC or someone closer to the situation to correct me) but I think the move was for both family, and also financial reasons. it sounded (from a 3POA episode with Rich from AFC a few months ago) that a lot of business was EU-based, so moving into the EU made things easier for shipping to say Germany for example
that said, I wonder if AFC has taken a hit on UK customers as a result of the change in shipping charges? if so, does AFC plan to have something set up for UK distribution going forward to keep us happy too?

Postage from AFC will be £12.95 to the Uk. Not perfect of course but should be cheaper than direct from FC

I just did a quick look at ordering from FC to UK, it's $32 shipping so yeah AFC still cheaper.

Chairshot just whip up a side by side of this macho king and the monkey arm zombie its hilarious A quick and dirty comparison. It was hard to watch ZST and Mitch (and MWFP and Latoonie) make all of their announcements while keeping this one a secret. I think that Zombie has done a tremendous job with the detail of his outfits. Mitch is banging out some fun classic looks. But my opinion - which is biased - the WSW is the most Hasbro-like retro Macho man figure. Lots of love went into this and I think that shows. But ZST's are the most accurate Hasbro style figures ever made...

I’ve never had a WSW retro, what are people’s experience of the product? How does it measure vs Zombie/G&G/Epic?
Very tempted by the pink Macho, some of the pictures I’ve seen of the Macho seem a bit low budget/rushed but maybe it was a proto.
