The fact this bastardised Randy Savage is suppose to be based on a 1980s children’s cartoon is even more stupid. He’d be spinning in his grave at what’s become of his IP. Mattel put him as a Ninja turtle. Its Halloween week, bringing out a special figure that's dressed up like something seems....... fitting. Not buying it, but I don't hate the thought behind this one. |

I was doing a bit of a dive to see what all painted looks Andre used as it wasn’t something I had thought about too much. I knew there were multiples but I thought I would share a clip of Andre using a similar design and color scheme to the one Latoonie and BRG’s are releasing. There are multiple little promos with this design but the message in each is pretty much the same. I don’t like this design as much but thought it was a good enough excuse to spread useless Andre the Giant knowledge:

I don't hate the thought behind it, I just wish it was based on something lucid. It doesn't really look like anything in particular, and I think that's the problem for me, personally. If you're gonna throw a costume on him, have it be actually based on something and have it be recognisable as whatever that thing may be. |

I’m not a fan of the turtles crossover figures either, but it looks like they dressed a turtle up as him, not the other way round?

"Cyclops" Savage: why even? Rasslor (Dexter's Laboratory), Leonard Ghostal (Space Ghost), Gorilla (King of the Hill): yes, those would make sense...

Probably nothing, but just found it curious that I am able to add 105 of the limited to 100 Cyclops Machos to my cart on the Latoonie site. 🤔

Seems like a good sign. The black and silver macho is at 264 available and the Andre 461 available also just for reference. |
