So I placed and received my first order from Ralph's so I thought I would post a pic and give a little review. And since overall I am fairly pleased I wonder if any of you generous members could post pics of your MATTEL figure clothes purchases or own creations. Any are welcome but I'll probably only respond to the flashbacks. Also I would like to especially request pics of any of your Mattel macho man clothes from Ralph's. ![](http://i64.tinypic.com/wasqz7.jpg) I'll preface this by saying that all loose figures at my house are my sons toys and he only is given one of each wrestler. I'll start with macho man. I am a MOC collector of every elite macho man (except e23). This is the macho man I gave my son and I think this madness shirt looks good with this even though it's inaccurate for the attire. Good quality shirt, nice fit - I give it a 4/5. Miss Elizabeth is my daughters only figure and I had completely forgotten about the white gloves the figure had painted on. The arms kinda ruin it a little but still i like it. Very good quality shirt and shorts and very nice fit. I give it a 4.5/5 DDP....idk, for some reason I got a little false hope for this figure that if I got the shirt I'd all of a sudden like it. I still don't and won't until I get a different headsculpt. The shirt fits pretty good alone but not too well under the vest as I have it. I give it a 3/5 Honky tonk man is the first figure I ever bought and I love the red jumpsuit he came with. I chose to get the blue one because the pics of the white one didn't look great on the website. The blue one didn't look amazing either but I thought I'd try. I don't love the fit, he seems to be swimming in it a little. If I remember correctly he seemed to wear the blue one in the later part of his career and he had put on weight by then. So I guess not too bad. I give it a 2.5/5 Regals singlet doesn't look good at all on the figure with the robe off. The fit is bad especially around the hips/groin area and it's not as great of a sew job as the other stuff I got. However I like it under the robe even if not accurate. I give it a 2/5 And the best is last imo. The Rocks tracksuit is very impressive quality. I had a very hard time getting it on but this shirt took a beating and showed no signs after. I think the fit is tremendous. This has made this one of my most prized loose figures. I give it a 5/5 Please feel free to critique how they look if you have opinions and share any notable clothes that you recommend (flashbacks). Also, if the pics aren't straight in the post it's because I use an iPhone. Let me know and I'll try to get it right.

![](http://i63.tinypic.com/wl598l.jpg) ![](http://i63.tinypic.com/2hnvrf9.jpg) I really want a white honky tonk man jumpsuit. I wish I got that color instead. Does anyone own that one who can post a pic for me?

I really like that track suit on Rock I've spent quite a bit at Ralphs site and I've only been let down a couple of times but when it's good, it's great. These three are probably my favorite purchases I've gotten from there. The coats on Edge & Undertaker are great quality, very realistic and I love the addition of the metal/plastic pieces on each of them. However, John Morrisons coat is hands down the best figure clothing accessory I have ever seen or owned. From the fabric they used to the texture it's just 5/5 easily. I highly recommend it to others, and the great part is, they have multiple colors, fabrics and designs for the coat. ![](https://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/19/17/27/56/20170311.jpg) Lesnars track suit is very well put together and I couldn't be happier with it. La Parka is another great addition to the collection although it could be slightly tighter and longer near the legs(he's not finished yet either, just a HOF Steve Austin with Rey DOTD gloves) Batista is supposed to represent a fantasy attire between his heel run before he left the company for Hollywood and his evolution days, great material. The Y2J shirt is another of my favorites (I'm well aware the shirt and headscan are not accurate) Edge's shirt is pretty good, could be a little tighter though. ![](https://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/19/17/27/56/20170312.jpg) The Hardy Boyz shirts really let me down, the purple on the material bled through the decal on the shirt and they both could have been fit to the figures so much better, these are the worst shirts I've gotten from Ralphs and they were my most recent order with a few more shirts that came with very poor sewing and sizing which is why I've been hesitant to buy from them again. Roman's shirt is a really good fit and gets rid of that ugly vest look. I don't know why he's the only Shield member to still be wearing Shield gear, probably because of the fact he lacks any kind of personality on his own. The Bullet Club mask and shirt are for Balor and they fit extremely well. These weren't from Ralphs they were from Jcolafigshirts on IG The Undertaker shirt is also crafted really well, fits nice and the metal/plastic material standouts nicely. ![](https://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/19/17/27/56/20170313.jpg)

I used to buy a lot of clothes from Ralph's for my Jakks CS figures. Especially for the Road Warriors to recreate their Biker gang look. As for Mattels, I've only bought clothes for L5 Macho Man and WM Elite Bret Hart. This robe from Ralph's turned my L5 Mach into my favorite Mattel Elite style figure and is displayed front and center. ![](http://i.imgur.com/Q609bbs.jpg) Here's Ralph's black and pink jacket for WM Hitman. ![](http://i.imgur.com/uHt4x2W.jpg)

It'll be part of my next order I'm thinking about making an order but have never ordered from them. How long does it usually take for you to get your order from them?

But this is a pretty decent supplement when there is a shortage of soft goods by Mattel.

Thanks for answering, everybody. Seems like it takes a few weeks to a month. I can live with that. Thanks, again.
