Cloth....the rubber ones aren't too bad for DX as entrance shirts BUT for Road Dogg who wrestled in his? its atrocious.
Cloth shirts all the way 100% of the time.

Cloth. They look better and don't hinder posing.

Honestly? I don't think either looks all that great. Figures look weird with cloth when their attire is plastic and the actual plastic shirts are too thick. No perfect solution for removable clothes IMO. This is true.

I would rather see other accessories included with figures instead of rubber shirts like belts, chairs etc. That rolling stretcher would be cool to see again down the road as a accessory.

My thoughts on cloth vs plastic shirts: - Cloth is far and away better for shirts w/ sleeves. The plastic shirts w/ sleeves make it impossible to move the arms. - Cloth is better for sleeveless shorts but not by as much if the plastic mold is fitted properly. - Plastic is better for the Mysterio/Ryback style cut along the sides sleeveless shirt because cloth can curl up at the bottom.
One final note about cloth shirts - they should never be packed on the figure because that can cause staining. Pack them to the side and all is good.

Unless its a jacket...I don't see why the budget gets wasted on plastic...It ends up in the trash or in a separate pile ... I rather not have the plastic T shirts at all if thats the only option

Didn't vote since there isn't a 'both' option. It depends on the situation. I believe Rock's tank top would have been a ravelled mess had it been fabric. Also, the elite 1-3 series shirts are complete trash. Horrible cuts of fabric that don't even remotely fit. In those early days I hated the shirts and just wanted belts. Then elite 4 came along and fixed it.
The red shirts with Cole series Cena and the Kmart live event edition Cena are also crap since they stained. In fact, that was one reason why plastic shirts don't bother me like others. The fabric typically looks good but when it stains it makes me mad, especially since the Kmart Cena is packaged wearing it. I bought it well after it's initial release and the entirety of his shoulders are bright crimson.

Cloth for jackets and coats (Edge, Undertaker, Chris Jericho, Bret Hart)

I like cloth. But sometimes cloth stains the figures

I really like the cloth shirts that came with WM27 Austin and the first BOPPV Bryan. The previous cloth shirts were pretty garbage imo and they rolled over time. The E16 CM Punk cloth shirt quality was crap as well. Similar material but poor assembly it seemed. If they made every shirt like that Austin shirt I would be onboard 100% with the cloth.
Some of the plastic shirts look pretty good, but most of the time they are too bulky and long. It's six inches, half a foot depending on the guy or accessory. Like Jericho's jacket looks great in plastic but you can't move his arms. So it's just a good/bad situation. Same deal with Edge's coat. I'm totally fine with plastic vests, like with Diesel and Razor. Those both turned out great.

I prefer cloth shirts. The hard plastic shirts and coats leave the figure with limited to no articulation.

I guess I'm just seeing it from a display stand point.
Seems like most of the cloth shirts are a bit baggy fittig, works for cena since that's his gimmick.. but everyone else it looks weird.

I just opened up eg million dollar man today and the new wm elite undertaker. What a fantastic cloth suit m$m has!! Undertaker looks good in his plastic jacket but you can't pose him in it any other way

It doesn't honestly matter to me if it's easy to remove. I'll take either, even though cloth looks better from a display standpoint

Cloth shirts are they obvious answer. However, rubber shirts are necessary for guys like Road Dogg, and Cactus Jack.

For me, it really depends on how the shirt is executed. Both are great if executed properly.
