I believe you, but I am SHOCKED to read only those 3 had legs that move. I just went to sell 9 today (including Earthquake and Typhoon) -- and i would have never said in a million years this was true. But now that I think about it ... wow. They were such wonderful figures that it never felt that way. Did Andre have them, too? I think of figures like Scott Steiner, Doink, Hacksaw 2, even Papa Shango and feel like they did -- but I guess you're right.
it's true, only the Quake/Typhoon/Bam Bam figures had articulated legs, even Akeem/Andre didn't have articulation they did have legs attached to their pelvis, but you couldn't move/twist them (at least you couldn't on any of mine) and the closest other articulated legs were Dibiase's legs for the stomp, I don't even think you can move the second leg on IRS and I appreciate it's not directly a "retro" styled figure, but I think the argument against G+G's 6" Kurt figure is that doesn't have articulated legs, but it's "designed to fit alongside Ghostbusters figures" which all have Elite level articulation. the Fuller figure doesn't have that level of articulation because it's being done on the cheap to get it out quickly.
The kurt figure revealed with no leg articulation is for the mattel scale no holds barred version. The ghostbuster version hasnt been shown yet but from what i read mitch confirmed that will have the articulation like the busters line

http://instagram.com/p/C7Hc8qjO7Y9 Al Snow looks great, but I'm Not sure if I should buy him Fingers crossed for Vega, Godwinns, Rougeaus, Mero and especially the Quebeckers and Koko B Ware. Basically a TTL figure then...

the Regium Series is Mitch's entry into larger figure market, and he's failing to deliver on every level.
first it's Kurt Fuller, now it's Al Snow (who deserves a Mattel Elite!) to offer less action than a Mattel Basic (and that's before their recent revamp of the line!) yet this will cost more than a retro scaled figure, for far less quality.

This is a hard one for me. I might end up getting two Sean Mooney figures. I prefer the Mooney in a tie but also really like the Lord Alfred in a tux/bow tie…and the Hasbro-scaled headsets make it even more tempting: http://instagram.com/p/C7Rl8v6uw8_ *Im a sucker for accessories*

Love the sculpts and the accessories, hope they turn out as well in the final process. Like I've said before, Mitch has got some great names but the end result always seems a bit off. I haven't bought one of his figures yet, might have to try and see just for the difference between EPIC, Zombies and these...

Is this also going to be the gold WM8 attire, or something else?

I thought he said it was going to look like the Hasbro #4 but maybe he didn’t mean the color scheme.

Macho didn't start wearing the tassels with the boots consistently until WCW. He did have a few attires during his WWF days that had tassels on the boots (WM8, WM10, and the USA attire), but other than that, none of his WWF attires had those. I wouldn't mind him doing the WM8 attire in this mold.

More options the better, no? he's not providing anything "new" though, he's just recycling the same figure over and over, just in different colours
at least if he was doing different outfits, with different heads and arms/leg poses, it would at least be better than a simple repaint
look at Epic - they're now releasing both a red suit Heenan, and a black suit (which has different arms, and comes with the mic accessory)
G+G's Savage will have more repaints than a Nick Aldis or Joey Knight at this rate

Most of mattels figures are just repaints with different heads, if that.

SO many Machos coming out, I think the Zombie one is my favorite so far though.

He’s shown 2 Savages, one in ring gear and one in entrance gear. A different head, torso and arms…

At least he's done 2 molds at minimum, suited and non, maybe there'll be more too? At any rate unlike modern indy guys, I think there is huge demand for all different versions of Macho.

That Gangrel could be something special.

It'd be great to see someone do Gangrel in his sleeveless shirt with his tattooed arms on display. I realize that's an incredibly homoerotic sentence to type, but it'd make for a good figure.
