You know, I just noticed something (and forgive me if this has been mentioned already...)
Is it just me or, since that Rick Rude staining debacle, has Mattel made a deliberate effort NOT to have the figures wearing the soft goods clothing?
I mean, prior to Rude, it was pretty standard. But then, looking at the Legends figs, the robes were separate. And now, this series, where there are four cloth goods items in one set, the only one that isn't packaged on the side is the one that there would be no logical place in the box to display it (Mae Young). Do you think this is a conscious decision on Mattel's part?
I mean, I hope it is. It'd be awesome if there was something we could point to in their business model and say "We did that, that was us."

Are the Profits’ entrance gear soft goods or a material more like the vest Austin has? I can’t tell. It’s certainly possible they’re making an effort to not have soft goods being worn as much in box, but we’ll see as we move along to other sets. The only one that looks odd by not having a shirt/vest being worn is The Rock.

When a line is cancelled, it’s because we didn’t buy it. When a line isn’t cancelled, it’s because we did buy it. Same with which wrestlers get a lot of figures.

Dawkins is Soft goods, you can tell that the sleeves are folded and it has the tray that a lot of soft goods get, Fords is rubber or plastic molding.

Yes I’m pretty AFA said they’re trying to not package soft goods on people, and the shirts are different material now (the inside is white even on black shirts)
