Hey guys, what's your opinion about the tassles on figures?
I noticed that Ultimate Warrior and British Bulldog have molded tassles on their boots and biceps. Kinda neat except it looks weird when Warrior's arms are raised in the air.
There'll eventually be a Texas Tornado for sure, so do you prefer fabric tassles that are loose or molded tassles?

I never liked fabric tassles, they always ended up getting inside of the bicep joint and being a pain in the ass.

Fabric tassles because molded could make the joint stuck

Fabric tassles because molded could make the joint stuck ...if they are molded, ummm, how could they make the joint stick? I'm confused. |

I dont really care either way to be honest but I picked molded. When they came out with Ultimate Warrior in CS1 I was so excited that it had fabric tassels but after I had it like AdamBomb said, it kind of became a problem and a pain with the fabric getting stuck in the joint. Now that I've seen the Mattel Warrior I actually kind of like the molded look, I think it just looks slightly better.

It depends. On a figure like Morrison I like the molded fur over real fur, because it looks nicer and is easier to get the dust off of. As for tassels it depends. On the arms I'd rather a combo like the oldd BCA warrior where it was molded to the arms but with real strings hanging. But I doubt they'd do that now so I'd rather real string. As for the boots I'd have to wait until I have a Mattel one in hand, but I think I would like the molded more. Mainly because they wouldn't fray or curl up and again it would be easier to dust.

I'm partially in agreement with PJ; love the Warrior reference and point he's making, but I don't like Morrison's molded fur on his Mattel figures.
Thus, I would have to say fabric tassles. They slid around a lot on Jakks' figures, but at least I could take them off if they bothered me.

You can take off Mattel. I removed the Morrison molded fur bottoms.

So far the molded isnt that bad because with fabric it will either fall off, tear or get stuck in the figure joint.

Fabric for sure. It just looks more realistic and adds a lot to the figures over-all appearance.

Molded cause the cloth ones looked like poop. They have a tendency to curl up & get lodged into the bicep joint. So molded is the way to go as far as I'm concerned.

Molded. I always hated the tassels on the Ultimate Warrior figures.

Molded. I know that for some reason, people generally love wrestling figures to have fabric items but molded stuff always looks better. A figure's head isn't made out of flesh and bone, so why do its tassles have to be made of fabric?
