Lack of t-shirts in SDCC

[someterror]

I've realised any figure t-shirt has been shown at SDCC, though some figures could have come with one: E17 Zack Ryder, Kofi Kingston, Sheamus... Do you think they will come with one or not?

[WWEKidCollector]

I hope so. I hate the Rubber t-shirts though. Miz has the Team Johnny Tee. I am glad the RAH Cena Shirt isn't rubber!

[punksnotdead]

HBK technically has a shirt. Miz's shirt is hilarious. But I get what you are saying. I really like the new style of shirts, the snugger looking cloth, and I was hoping Punk would come with his In Punk We Trust shirt. I think we get a belt or a shirt now, not both. Kofi could have used a shirt too but it's still an amazing figure IMO.

That Miz shirt looks horrible. Especially wanted a shirt with Punk, Ryder, Kofi. Here's hoping.

I dont think they can make a "In Punk We Trust" shirt in the new material. Idk why nut I just cant picture that looking right with the shiny material used on the new shirts.

The only thing that may give the shirt a weird look is the black around the star on top of the dark grey. It would be nice to get the back of the shirt though, which can only happen with the rubber. I'm guessing we will see that shirt since he has been wearing it for awhile and is bound to get more Elite releases soon with his popularity.

I don't see why WM Elite CM Punk couldn't come with a shirt and a belt. It is a dull belt to begin with, and look at BOPPV Triple H or Cena. They came with a lot more than just a shirt and a BAF piece.

BTW am I the only one who prefers the other Miz headscan to this one. The newer one looks like he has to go #2 really bad but he is trying his best to hold it in.

I wasnt too fussed, there are more creative accessories to do than shirts. The sheamus and kofi could perhaps have used them though. Ryder doesnt need it, theres enough tooling and costs in the internet title.

It took time for the new Miz scan to grow on me, but I like it a little more than the faux hawk version now. Primarily because his head is bigger, which looks more accurate IMO.

Yes, it isn't like the other figs in WM28 series are loaded with accessories, and the extra cost for the BAF pieces is passed on to us anyway.

I think the new Miz scan is growing on me... I do agree with the size accuracy though, and I hate faux hawks!

that Miz scan is so cartoony, i held it at Walmart for a few minutes just staring at it but couldn't bring myself to buy it. reminds me of this

The rubber sleeveless are passable but my E16 Orton looked horrible with the shirt. His upper arm and shoulder area might be too narrow so the sleeves over hang. It kind of looks like football shoulder pads.

Well one reason there probably weren't shirts with people from Elite 17 is because there are 3 VUM titles in that wave. According to Mattel, that takes up a big chunk of the budget for the set.
Cena is about the only one that needed a shirt. Broski shirt w/Zack, Great White w/Sheamus, and Air Boom w/Kofi would have been great though; I'd rather have the titles honestly.

Doesn't Miz always look like that, though? LOL

But yes, Punk definitely should've had a t-shirt. It might be missing because they're saving it for the next Elite Punk in the main line?

I personally wished their was more of a variety of accessories. I like belts and shirt but it's cool that we are getting a tall ladder. I think if DDP came with a tall ladder and Bundy came with a break away table ( I know inaccurate ) they would of help moved these damn legends and we might of gotten more next year....so pissed thinking about it

Great now I am going to have to make a Zoolander custom. That is one of my all time favorite movie.

Which is expression is the Miz doing Blue Steel or Magnum? I am guessing Blue Steel since I didn't break down and cry when I saw his figure bearing that new scan.

True, we wouldn't want another BOPPV John Cena and E14 John Cena situation happening.

Last year we ended up getting shirts that weren't even shown with their figures at SDCC. I expect some more accessories coming that we never saw this week.

Yeah that's one place I will say that Jakks killed mattel on. Jakks always came with accessories, RA or deluxe, and usually they were pretty good. Yeah towards the end they got lazy and we pretty much got chairs and cookie trays, but realistically 95% of the weapons/accessories I still use came from my Jakks.

Heck Jakks accessories and playsets compiled over time are enough to creat an entire arena and backstage area. I've been working on my arena the past few years and pick up stuff on ebay when I can, but I've got a backstage area, a parking lot/dumpster area, an interview area and a GM office. If you had every set Jakks made you could make a locker room, loading dock, cafeteria, gym, etc.
