Anyone else think more figures' in street clothes would be awesome..? We get constant repaints of Punk's, Cena's, Rey's, ETC. I'm talking strictly for the "basic & non elite lines" For example cm punk with molded shirt and black shorts, Brock with a molded shirt, sweat pants & his athletic shoes. Thoughts...? Sorry for the weird typing my enter key is currently broken.

If they do it once in a while then I'd be ok with it but whole main series of it or doing it all the damn time like Jakks did would be bad. If they even wanted to do a series exclusive to K-Mart like the shirted figs are to Wal-Mart would be ok.

Whoa, that Triple H looks like he didn't get enough fiber.
But yeah, I'd be fine if it was something similar to the molded shirt figures at Wal-Mart. I wouldn't want them to be part of an actual series but just stand-alone exclusives.

Since they already opened the gates to the idea @ Wal-Mart, I think they should do it through them. Release an exclusive set, maybe twice a year, of Superstar Interview figs. Have them in street clothes, or non-wrestling attire since they love to do Cena & he wrestles in street clothe.

No, I hated when Jakks did it. Those were usually the worst shelfwarmers

They seem to be against the idea, but as time goes on, I think we'll start seeing them (halfway there with the shirted series!).
Miz in suit, Vince in wrestling gear (or suit), Lesnar in workout gear, Rock in JBI gear, Cena in...Cena gear, Jericho in jeans with jacket-suit....sounds like a cool set to me.

The problem with "street gear" figs is that most of the guys just wear their trunks with a t-shirt every time they're on TV now. They could give us Alex Riley or Michael McGillicutty in street clothes since all they ever do is appear in backstage segments, but nobody else would make that much sense anymore.

I would much rather see that than the same damn Cena figure released over and over again.

Because Mattel doesn't want to take risks like Jakks did

I would totally love Elite figures in street gear as long as the shirts were CLOTH. No more of this rubber crap. It's awful.

The problem with "street gear" figs is that most of the guys just wear their trunks with a t-shirt every time they're on TV now. Bingo. That's the problem with it, street/interview gear just isn't that necessary anymore because all most of the roster ever do is wrestle. Back in the TTL days, you had Rock, Austin, Triple H etc always rocking new t-shirts, jeans, leather jackets etc. Nowadays, you might see Sheamus or Kofi twice a year in clothes but every other week they just come out and wrestle. It's awful. That said, there are some guys that we do see quite often in clothes. Cena, Punk, Lesnar, Rock, Triple H. So that's five. And clothes work way better molded than as accessories. You either have the cloth clothes for the Barbie fans and they never fit right or look right at this scale, or the plastic clothes which limit articulation. And promo gear doesn't need to be an elite, because it only really has to represent a guy standing talking. So I'd like to see basics of those five guys. Cena in his outfit (which the SuperStar Entrances one did, basically)... Punk like the Superstar Entrances figure but using the first basic Miz lower half (except with a different crotch piece, maybe the Tommy Dreamer one)... Lesnar in molded sleeveless shirt and track pants... Rock in the same... Triple H in t-shirt and jeans. One of each of those guys spread throughout the year, so one every other basic series, pretty much. Maybe a Miz in a suit shortpacked too, but even him wearing a suit is pretty rare nowadays. He was always rocking the suits in 2010-2011.

I agree with you! I would love to see these figures in non elite lines.I love the Punk and Brock idea as well. I would buy these figures in a heartbeat!

I don't understand the hate, the OP says they would be done instead of repaints. Who really wants to see ANOTHER Cena with just a different colour armband or just another re-release of him? A molded on t-shirt is at least something different.
