Was just looking at my Elite Collection and realized how awesome the cloth T-Shirts are. I wish we could get them with every Elite, but understandably we can't.
Got me thinking....what if Mattel did Series' of T-Shirt Packs
Say 4 Shirts to a pack at around $10.
Punk- In Punk We Trust
Ziggler- It's not Showing off (pink)
Del Rio- Coin logo
Sheamus- Celtic Cross logo
Wade Barrett- Barrett Barrage
Triple H- Vocare ad Pugnam
DBryan- No No No
Mark Henry- Hall of Pain
Cody Rhodes- Rhodes of Change
Damien Sandow- Evolution of Man
The Miz- Awesome
Santino Marella- Cobra (white, Gi style)
and even Legends style packs
Shawn Michaels/Triple H- original DX shirt
Edge- Rated R
Christian - 5 Second Pose
Eddie Guerrero- Latino Heat
just some suggestions....what do you think? what would you like to see?

I would buy every single pack you listed. If these were to be made though a more realistic set would be this:
John Cena (10 Years Stronger GOLD Version)
The Rock (Just Bring It)
Sheamus (Brogue Kick)
Kofi (I Can Fly)

4 shirts would cost significantly more than $10 retail if we ever wanted to do this. Our soft good labor costs have exploded since we started in 2010.

Why not make it an online exclusive instead of a retail product? That way you could have it where the logos aren't printed till an order is made. No unnecessary costs or materials would be wasted! Cause, I would LOVE to be able to pick up updated shirts on a regular basis. And I know I personally would spend 10-12 bucks per shirt. As a generally a Basic collector most of the Elites I buy are for their shirts only, so that price (10-12) works well for me. I've even tried to buy second market shirts but I've never been 100% happy with them. They come off as either cheap looking or too bulky. I want the same material that Mattel uses. I want quality! I'd much rather give you guys my money to do it right. It's not asking too much for a yellow Punk shirt without waiting 8 months to see if his next Elite will have one. And with the prices of producing Punk, chances are it won't. So this could be a win/win for us both. PLEASE MATTEL, EXPLORE THIS IDEA FURTHER! |

Understandable... to be honest, I'd be willin to pay more than $10 for 4 shirts. or even if it was a 3-shirt pack around $10. obviously i don't know what your costs are i guess my main point was that id love to see shirt packs for elites ;D id buy em no matter what |

Nice idea! Would probably help the people who rob them out of the Elite Package

Making these T-Shirt packs would def work. It would open up slots for new people in the Elite line and cut costs on having to update attires by putting out new elites of the same figures.

Glad to see a response from MDT on this...love this idea Chip, and I hope it gets some consideration. This company does make Barbie after all so they must see the profit in here somewhere.

This is fantastic and I'd love for something like this to come into fruition. I'm almost more interested in accessories than I am the actual figures!  |

I would buy this definitely. I LOVE having entrance attires (even if it's just shirts) for my figures for display.
But if the shirts were really that iconic, I figure Mattel will include them with the Elites. And if a Cena elite doesn't come with a shirt... Then well it's going to clog shelves.

I think we've seen enough collection pics with Ralph's shirts and other accessories to know that:
a) there is a pretty good demand for wrestler attires
b) people are willing to spend almost as much on a shirt as they are on a basic figure
In other words, Mattel should definitely look into this.
