I hoenstly don't see why the plastic/rubber shirt is always such a hated thing on these boards. They look better when used properly. Imagine Elite Goldust, Flashback Bret, Elite Mysterio, Flash Rey, or Elite Rock having cloth shirts. They wouldn't look right at all. The Elite Rock may be the only exception I mentioned, but they were going for his tanktop look more than they were his sleeveless look, so the rubber shirt is just better here. Imagine trying to put all the detail a Goldust robe, Bret Hart jacket, or Macho Man tassled shirt into cloth? It wouldn't work. And don;t even try and use Bret's DM jacket as an argument, because that so much more simple than his exclusive jacket. The only time this argument is valid is when it's a figure that really doesn't have much detail in their rubber/plastic accessory, like Elite 1 Taker. However, Mattel still has a budget to meet, and the rubber/plastic accessories come in handy sometimes when they need to meet that budget. It's not like the cloth or rubber ever looks abd at all. People who claim they want cloth only want it because Jakks never gave it to us enough. They simply molded on shirts or molded on suits and sleeves. Mattel actually makes the attempt to give us accessories that allow for entrance looks AND wrestling looks. The only time Jakks attempted this was in their early days of the CS line or their online exclusives. The factis, Mattel made the BEST decsision here. It's not like this is another Randy Orton situation where it's a super bulky t-shirt that looks God awful being rubber/plastic. It's a situation where the use of rubber/plastic was the best decision, and that decision was made correctly. In the end, if you don't want the damn thing, don't buy it. Mattel isn't forcing you to do so. Those of us who realise that Mattel made the correct choice here will enjoy our figures, and you can continue your bitching and moaning at your computer desks.

I'm really just excited for Barreta. Hopefully it sells good enough and we get an Elite.

This figure looks awesome. Was a little skeptical about black and white looking good for an action figure but it really does look fantastic. Going to be pre-ordering this ASAP.
Can't believe people are complaining about the rubber shirt. If it were cloth, the tassles would fray, get tangled and just look terrible. Not to mention that over time, as has happened to a couple of my figures now, the velcro wears off and the shirt won't even stay closed.
Also, it does come with a weight belt. People need to read the description and not just go off of the picture...

I think cloth works best for t-shirts but some of Mattel's singlets and robes have also been decent especially compared to Jakks which were usually bloody awful.
Something like Goldust's robe or Undertaker's hooded one wouldn't look very good if made with cloth as it's not possible for the intricate details to be scaled down.
I think NWO Savage looks fine and I'm especially pleased about the new headsculpt as I'm not a fan of the other one.

I'd pay £200 for it!!!!!! sadly that aint ever going to happen if Steve Borden doesn't step foot in a WWE facility  And I'm a >>HUGE<< Surfer Sting mark, I'd buy every single Mattel Sting produced. I really dislike the giant DI TNA action figures of him. |

At least Mattel is noticing the trend that some of the main eventers Orton, Cena, Mysterio aren't selling like before. Jinder Mahal and Trent getting figures is good, now if we get Epico, Camacho, Johnny Curtis, Hawkins, Reks and Jerry Lawler we'll have every active wrestler on the roster except an updated Hunico, and Kane. In Lawlers case part time.
hoping for a Ricardo Rodriguez build a figure
more nWo guys are needed or even shirts for guys that were part of the group but didn't change attires like Perfect

Looks great! I would like it if Savage was an elite flashback exclusive but I'll still get it because he's NWO Savage! The rest I'll wait out on til elite 16 is announced.

No problems with jackets and coats. But shirts? The Rockers with rubber shirts? Nexus with rubber shirts? Elite Chavo with rubber? Sorry, no way. Elite 12 Orton with the stiff rubber shirt is horrible. |

The comment about the nWo title coming with someone else is very enticing.
I'll be getting Macho eventually, but debating on if that should be now or wait until he comes down in price
I'll probably wait until Elite 16 goes up for Pre-order, should be hitting around that time so I can save on some shipping
