 Why does it look like Wade is wearing a sleeveless shirt that's 7 sizes too big?  Oh because the side connectors on these rubber shirts are AWFUL they don't connect, the just sit there and the shirt comes loose. Obviously going forward we are going to be getting more and more of these rubber.....things, Mattel needs to work on the design, I don't care about it looking flush under the arms, I just want to be able to "snap" the shirt together so that it doesn't look like a high powered fan is blowing under my figures. I have one request for Mattel: please get a new rubber shirt mold.....get something that WORKS. I'm upset enough that cloth is slowly going away almost completely because those are just awesome, but I could live with the rubber stuff if it actually stayed together at the seams. |

I gotta agree! Although I can get them to snap in (for almost everyone of them) it takes me a damn long time to do so! I can tell from that Barrett that they improved the rubber to a softer rubber, but that does nothing....

I watched the RSC Exclsuive Brock Lesnar figure insider video yesterday and noticed that his rubber shirt has a different connector, it's actually a single long bar on the side for both sides. Anyone know if this could make it better to stay together?

The only positives of getting rubber shirts is that you can get the back designs of the shirt, but I agree that the rubber shirts suck because of the connectors. For the most part, I can't get the shirts fully connected with figures like E16 Orton and E19 Lesnar.

The only ones I like are the ones with no sides, like ABA Taker and Evan Bourne

I don't HATE them, but they aren't the best either. For all I use them for they seem okay though.  |

I'm sure they make enough money to produce cloth shirts. Either that or just do away with the shirts. The rubber ones are just crap. Period

The plastic shirts definitely need a new "locking" system.

I usually don't even use the plastic shirts cause they look like crap. The cloth ones are better looking. I just took the shirt off my Wade Barrett and left it in the box. He looks better without it.

Totally agree. They could still put logos and graphics on the backs of cloth shirts. Just put velcro up the sides. F a rubber shirt!

I usually just throw or sell the rubber shirt and buy a cloth version from my guy on twitter

There is absolutely nothing good about those rubber shirts. They are horrible.

I was pleasantly surprised to see how well the side pegs stay fastened on E23 Macho Man's t-shirt, but that shirt's fitted a bit loose around the waist to allow the ab crunch to bend.
Those two shirts packed with Road Dogg are going to be useless, if they pop open easily.

I suggest they sell the figures without any shirts at all instead of wasting the money on including rubber ones and then when a superstar has a new design come out they release a shirt pack. Imagine a CM Punk Shirt pack that includes CLOTH shirts of the BITW ringer, the Second city Saint, and his new ACDC styled design or a hoodie all included together for the same price of a figure.

There isn't a retailer on this planet asking for shirt packs for wrestling figures.

I only use cloth shirts.
If there plastic they get removed and fabric ones are ordered elsewhere.
