SUMMARY:
Released in 2014, this variant (specifically, the purple & white wrestling trunks) of Randy “Macho Man” Savage is a faithful vinyl rendition of the two-time WWE World Champion. As to his attire, this Funko is a homage to his late 1980’s Macho Madness prime. Savage is the standard Funko size (about 3.75 inches tall). His wrestling ensemble consists of: a familiar orange bandanna with his name spelled out; his wide yellow-framed shades; white triple-starred purple wrestling trunks; white wrist and knuckle tape; yellow knee pads; and white-laced yellow wrestling boots. Easily standing up for display options, this Funko Randy Savage statue can also swivel his head a full 360-degrees.
REVIEW:
As the “Macho Man” was fond of saying … Oooooh, yeaaaah! Including a spot-on paint job, Funko’s rendition of Savage (including his trademark shades) is near-flawless. A mild disappointment is that the triple-star pattern on his trunks is repeated slightly bigger on the backside rather than replicating the gaudier look of placing his name there in white surrounded by white stars. As to what else is missing, it’s really more wish fulfillment. Pairing this colorful Funko with one of his classy manager and then-wife, Miss Elizabeth, as a nostalgic two-pack would have made sense – at a minimum, even just placing the eagle-themed WWE Championship title belt around his waist would have wonderfully complimented this vintage look.
Considering all factors (particularly, its wacky potential as a desk/shelf decoration), this Funko Randy Savage still makes an awesome gift for any Macho Madness fan. Long live Macho Madness!
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 9 Stars
