new savage head

[Deleted]

Am I the only one who thinks that it looks nothing like him? When I had first seen it that was my thought. Then I said to my girlfriend look at this awesome figure. Her response who is it? I say macho man and she says it looks nothing like him. She may not know much about wrestling or wrestlers, but she does know about macho man since I have all of his elites minus macho king and I also have some customs.

Same. One of the reasons I skipped preordering him.

[PJ]

I think as a whole the new head is better than the first two, but they lost my sale with the attire choice. I just don't feel like spending $17 + for a head swap.

[Nivro™]

Im hoping everyone hates the head and decides to do headswaps so I can pick up the spares. I like both heads honestly.

[SuperJimmy12345]

It looks fine

[MrPerfect25]

I think they do a pretty good job considering they've never been able to scan him. Ya know, cuz he died.

[savage]

Im still not sure about it. It does look a bit off but dont want to rule it out based off of one picture. Ill have to see more shots of it and see it in person. Either way, im buying 2 of them.

[Matt]

Yeah like PJ said, I'm just not sold on the attire. So this will be a pass for me.

[mikenorm]

I am a big Savage mark and I asked my wife what she thought about it and her response.was who is that supposed to be. Im still going to get it because its Savage but man what a disappointment. When I first heard we were getting a new head scan I was pumped but boy did that quickly pass. Lol oh well

[RybackV1]

Best Savage figure ever. Maybe one of the best Mattels ever! I love everything about this figure and I'm not even big on Savage.

[WMDman]

I like it

I do think the expression fits him and im a fan of that, but do agree that the attire is nothing I was hoping for. I feel a pink savage would have been better like the custom I made. Pink pants tall white boots and pink body instead of one of those rubber shirts.

[DestroyerOfNations]

I think it's pretty great, but I'll wait till I find him at retail.

The attire makes me wanna throw up. Don't know why. So this is a easy skip.

[The Madness]

I completely agree that the shirt needs to be part of the torso mold instead of a separate piece. I'd happily skip the shoulder tassels for a shirt that doesn't look two sizes too big.

The "neon cowboy" look was tied with the orange trunks for my top want, but I would have loved to have had one that was a more colorful attire he wore multiple times instead of gold, which he wasn't really known for and only wore once.

This, absolutely. It looks wayyy more like I remember Savage than the other scans so far. Mattel's second scan looked awesome with the sunglasses on, but the first scan just looked like some guy with long hair and a beard, IMO.

I think what's throwing people off on it is two things - the way the light is hitting it makes his face look much more aged and wrinkled than it will be when it's lit differently, and he's also not completely straight faced, like I think some people might think he is. Savage always used to do this weird contorted grimace where he kind of pushed his lips together and frowned. It's hard to find pictures where's he's doing it without sunglasses, and even though this picture is about ten years before what the figure is representing, it's definitely the expression they were trying to capture.

i see macho man instantly when i look at Elite 23 headscan... its a tower of power , too sweet to be sour, funky like a monkey, skies the limit and space is the place Dig It!!

[MachoManiac]

[CWF]

is it me or does that savage scan look like John Marston from Red Dead Redemption?

[marino13]

Yeah... I'm gonna spend 17 dollars for the head swap. I think it has much more facial characteristics then the previous two scans. But the attire is not one of my favorites. Gonna put that head on L5's torso.

[Next Man’s Yeeter]

I don't think it looks much like him, but none of the other Mattel Macho heads do either.
