Fabric only works when it is meant to be loose or it stretches around the form of the figure. These half/measures looks sloppy, cost more, and will likely lead to lower sales.

the numerous is the minority for sure, I’ve seen a bunch more people asking for new molded singlets Molded and painted is far superior. Those fabric singlets will stain the legs and shoulders and they are harder to fix if they get stained or fade or curl Let's not forget the cheaply painted on biker trunks. Mattel has the molds for these sculpts as seen on the RVD protos. I love sculpt work, only time it's not really needed is when there's fabric detail or something that drapes. |

RVD needs to be painted, he never had straps down, fabric makes no sense really because singlets are always tight too
Kurt is a little bit of a different story, I see where people would want fabric and depending on the design i might agree it could be cool.
Undertaker should’ve been fabric tucked under the torso, if they wanted to do drop down straps that bad

Will never happen but still. At the very least I’d like one from the grimes and dibiasr millionaire title belt arc. The fact we are getting a dibiase revealed in legends from that era gives me small hope |

im really glad we're getting other wrestlers as BAFs instead of just suited people. Its the same suit everytime, just with a different head

For people wanting a fabric singlet on Kirt Angle, why? I’m genuinely asking why? It didn’t look good on Jack Swagger, Big Show, Andre, or King Kong Bundy. The straps always slip out of position and the only thing keeping them in place is the gap between the torso and shoulder piece. And most of all, it looks weird next to a figure made completely from molded plastic because they don’t have fabric trunks/tights. So it’s not uniform with other figures. I just don’t understand what your obsession is with it. Do you think it looks good? I do. I'm kind of a sucker for any soft-goods though... (give me a removable Edge coat/Bret jacket over a swappable-arms one, anyday). |

I prefer a molded singlet but in the case of this Angle I think this works. I view this as a straps down version of the character. So soft goods is the only way to go. The bendable plastic does not look good at all. I appreciate the attempt but they need to scrap it. Hopefully this fig comes with that “It’s True It’s True” shirt that was rumored to be in the BoAE line.

It’s the same suit everytime, just with a different head I also don’t get why Mattel doesn’t think suited wrestlers would sell on their own. How many suited elites have we gotten sold individually? HOC Bearer, FB Mean Gene, and blue suit Vince? There was also Gorilla but that was an extremely limited CE. |

Speculation is UE 19 may have been Rick and Scott Steiner - and because of what Rick said over the weekend they had to pull the figures from being shown. |

Cloth for Angle is the right choice he started coming to the ring with his straps down during his first title reign

But I will go in for that Luger seeing as I want 3/4 of that mnw elite set anyways I'm hoping they release at least one more wrestler Virgil, two if they give him the figure with the chase. Seems like a good fit for the legends line. I'm glad the build-a-figure will be in the long tights instead of the boxer trunks which I prefer - hopefully those will be released eventually. |

I’d imagine nWo Vincent will be the next version of him. Maybe a BAF in the MNW line. |
