The figure should have been released like the one here You my friend are the voice of reason! That figure looks waaaaaay better with the vest! How did you get that vest? I really cant see how a simple vest like that couldnt have been included in an elite. Instead Bill gives some tape for his ribs lol. Bill...you got it wrong on this figure, sorry.

I made the shirt (above). I used an nWo Macho prototype shirt (The bay had them for $5), puffy paint for shirts (for the 3-D aspect) and Citadel yellow and red. It really took 10 minutes and is a great solution

Remember getting the news that Mattel could even make Macho?! And to think that was five years ago. Ouch.

Then there is Ralphs saving the day! The shirt is not that accurate but it comes with the Jacket for free so I'll take it.

I agree with OP. Had planned to get it as I do with most machos but saw in person today and just doesn't cut it for me. I'll hold out for the amazing looking HOF one

What kind of hip joints does he have? Was wondering as I thought about using this for a Beefcake custom. However I don't like the material flaps on the crotch piece. Geez that sounds bad, ha-ha!
Anyways... Ball joint or old school?

Anyways... Ball joint or old school? Ball joint, smooth movement for me. The cut in the upper thigh is pretty immovable out of the box. I hope to find some cheap ones through retail that I can repaint, because even though the legs are really uniquely detailed, the paint is just sort of slapped on.

Saw several of these in person at TRU yesterday. Also not too fired up about it after seeing it in person so I passed.

I really like this figure. Would have been cool if they included a shirt or jacket.

I really wish they would use the smiling scan more, but I'm glad to get a Savage in Slim Jim colors.

I like E38 well enough, the only Savages I don't like so far are the basics that are way too tall. We knew he wouldn't have a jacket and I don't believe he wore a shirt that night so we get what we get, I like it. Rib tape went to DDP.

Im to the macho fandom that it could look like garbage and i'd buy it. I have this one and im okay with it, but im not a die hard attire person. I understand the frustration from everyone, but its macho - so im stoked.

I just wish they had used the smiling scan and he needed a taped elbow. It would be more accurate for the time. His hair was black then too. Just minor nitpicking though, I'll still buy it cause WCW. That's the only reason I bought that figure because WCW. I like the figure though

I passed on it, a couple times at this point now. I think it's a phenomenal figure but without some kind of top, it just felt like an incomplete figure to me. The HOF 3 figure is the same deal, except that I like that attire so much it will be enough to get it regardless.
Oh well. Seems to me that they should have used the plastic from the extra Reigns vest and given it to Macho. Maybe that wasn't an option.
