So AEW went ahead and gave young bucks the realistic looking tassels . I prefer aew approach were as mattel on the other hand using that old plastic tassel mold. Mattel should learn something from jazware.

Personally, I want to see how the tassels on those Bucks come out first before calling for more. The images "look" pretty good, but also look to me like fraying and falling off even while being careful with the figures is a distinct possibility.
*Just to Clarify* I'm not fully against the idea or anything, and I hope the tassels are great. Just want to see how they are before hoping that all tassels move in that direction.

The AEW ones look way to big. Meaning they don’t just lay flat but puff out. The plastic sleeve from Mattel isn’t very good either. But the ones that are part of the boot mold like the L4 & L6 Warrior figures look the best to me.

Tassels are one of the best of examples where fabric doesn't scale right with figures. If those fabric strips represented actual tassels, each individual tassel strip would be about 4" wide and made out of a material that puffed out instead of hanging down.

The Jakks ones always sucked and I’ve been fine with the Mattel ones except the style they used on Warrior from the HOF 2 pack until the WCW Ultimate, I hated those ones because they made the whole figure brittle

I’ve never been excited by the tassels.
...oh wait, we are talking about bootie tassels aren’t we??

I'm torn cause I've never cared for the plastic ones used on Warrior and Macho Man. There's not enough (or any) movement, and they don't paint them well to emphasize what they're supposed to be.
At the same time, the fabric ones don't work, either, because they're too big and poofy.
Of the two, I suppose I prefer plastic. Or like PJ said, the molded ones like Warrior in Legends 4 and 6. I'd love for someone to come up with something new that really looks like tassels, either fabric or plastic.

Plastic
The tassels on the Young Bucks dont even look good on the figure. They look to thick. The plastic molds are within scale of the figure

I voted for realistic looking Tassels but It really doesn't matter to me.

the ones on the toybiz macho man back in the day were pretty good. separate piece glued into place at the top of the boot. definitely worked better than the all purpose ones they’ve used forever

MDT should just make a new boot mold with the tassels attached and the laces showing. It would work for guys like Macho man and British Bulldog.

I’m ok either way as long as it looks good.

Either is fine with me but the fabric shouldn’t be to thick cause it’ll look bulky and off scale with the figures. The plastic has done the justice over the years but I wish we would get fabric tassels for the upper arms even if we never did for the boots. I usually replace my Warriors arm tassels with neon colored yo-yo string I order online. Makes the figure really pop!

Plastic, the other ones are too frumpy and make them look like barbie dolls

I like uniformity so I'd hate if they changed now
