I dunno... I'm trying really hard to like it and see a resemblance to the man himself, but I just can't..... I think I'm gonna wait to Mattel takes over and hope they make a legends line.....

I can't say that I'm overly thrilled with the final product. His face just looks too thin with his sunken in cheeks and all, and his hair still doesn't seem quite right. Pretty disappointed overall.

Would the Jakks bandana fit his head?

i didn't get my head yet, but from the looks of his head it looks too thin and small. what you can do when you get your fig, cover it in plastic wrap. heat it with a hairdryer, and use sculpey to make your own bandana. once done remove the plastic wrap and your head should be clean. this would also work for glasses too.

The only problem I see with it is, it needs to be filled out more. It is just to thin in the face for Macho Man. If it was filled out more it would be perfect.

I think the reason it looked odd to me was because of the pictures people were taking or something because that looks just like him..and that attire is awesome.

I dunno... I'm trying really hard to like it and see a resemblance to the man himself, but I just can't..... Im with you on that man, i think that if he had a more full dark beard and shorter thinner hair it would be dead on, the hair throws it off big time for me

I have to say that Whydraft's painted version looks more like him than the pre-painted ones, IMO.
It has a good resemblance, but I think what throws it off for most people is the expression. I think most people are used to seeing Macho with a grin or with a frown similar to the one in TheOriginal Machoking's sig (serious look, lips pressed together).

Oh, and a pretty important question about the unpainted ones:
Are they cast in flesh tone or white?

That looks mah-velous! Being a customizer, I wasn't worried about her paint job for my heads. I understand some people are not customizers, but it looks like a touch up might be in order for all the heads. Live and learn, I guess. Whydraft2, great figure all the way around, and thanks for the advanced pictures. If someone goes through Ada again, just be wary of her paint job. It's not terrible, it's just in the 12 inch style she's used to, not a Jakks style. Wars

WOW whydraft2: Your Macho looks absolutely awesome, thanks for sharing the pics with us! Maybe some darkbrown highlights in his hair and bread makes it even better, but that´s just my opinion. I agree that your painted one looks much more Jakks-Style than Ada´s Version. I really hope Wars will receive our heads soon
