USA Macho Man

USA Macho Man Randy Savage

Mattel - Gamestop exclusive Retrofest figure

 

Oooooh yeeeeeeah!  Another Macho Man figure here in time to help us celebrate the 4th of July!  He's a Gamestop exclusive under the "Retrofest" banner that I assume is a Gamestop exclusive as well.  He's pretty much the "Ultimate Maniacs" Mach repainted to match an attire from when he was working the early days of the Monday Night RAW program. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He looks great, but for an inflated price tag of $30, the only real extra you get is a snazzy box.  The box, designed to be a stand-up arcade cabinet, is great and all (nice retro fonts and character bio on back), but I am not a mint-in-box/card collector.  It was virtually impossible not to damage the box taking the figure out even if I did want to keep it.  In the trash it goes!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You would think an extra ten bucks would at least get you another key clothing item, his long-sleeved, tasseled coat as well.  Or maybe Macho Mini?  Heck, we know Mattel has a little person buck that they haven't used in a while.  It couldn't take that much retooling.  Ah, well...as I said before, I cant pass up a Macho variation and I know I would regret not picking this one up later on.
