Please forgive me (and/or guide me to the topic) if this has been discussed elsewhere. Here's the question: Will the 'Basic Belt' figures (Bryan, Cena, Ziggler and Kane) be a separate series or merely incorporated into other basic series? I really want the DB figure. Thanks for your help.

I think it's ridiculous that they can't be bothered to paint the belts in the Basic line, but do they really have to make it that much worse by making them such a dull, matte gold color? I mean, they couldn't even make them shiny and plain like Jakks did?

I also think it's ridiculous that they can't be bothered to give the basic line elite accessories and articulation. Anyone would think they're trying to run a business or something.

I could care less what those belts look like. I didn't even expect to get any "basic belts". So it's more like a bonus to me. I wont be going out of my way for these. I really want the Daniel Bryan figure though.

I, for one, am hoping it's going to be a boxed set or something. That'd be cool and reminiscent of the old BCA Champions Sets.
I doubt the final products will be painted like the Elites. BUT, I REALLY hope they are SHINY GOLD, similar to how that other company used to make them.

Didn't we see a non painted US title that wasn't that flat gold color? Maybe those belts around the 4 will end up looking like that but they couldn't get protos out in time? I am hoping for some kind of champions boxed set though. I will definitely be getting Dragon and Ziggler regardless.

I could understand it if they were the generic/dollar store figures but for it to be Mattels basic line is just stupid not to paint them.

I think they need to color them a bit better. The look pretty weak as is. I wonder why they haven't looked into doing something with tampos. That would cut down the cost and would allow the detail to be on the belts, without having to paint them.

...you guys didn't seriously assume the elite belts would be with basics... did ya? The line is called, "basic", after all. I don't think anyone assumed that. If they did, that was foolish. Obviously the Elites would get the better belts. I think people just don't much care for the presentation of the basic belts. Which is a completely understandable and valid grievance.

I wasn't a big fan of the basic belts either. So I plan on buying all the Elite guys just for one of each belt. I prefer the basic figures but I'm a bit of a perfectionist with my collection, so I have to get the better belts.

They are basic belts because they are basic figures. Should be happy they are giving something since they took the stands away.

i think the bill guy said in the interview that they still werent sure if they were going to put those in the regular basics line or a special line that might cost slightly more. anyway i dont care. the only figure id get from that is daniel bryan for the updated attire. the other daniel bryan is cool too tho.

Why would mattel give us painted belts in the basic line? I was under the impression we would only see belts, painted belts, in Elite. It's nice that mattel saw all of us going nuts for belts and they are giving us options. People should not complain about the lack of detail, IT'S A BASIC BELT!

The unpainted belts from Mattel are hideous. In RA, Jakks gave us proper belts even though they were unpainted.
The only bad belt that Jakks did was the current IC belt. The rest had so much etched detail.

The only Basic belt I'd probably want to get is the WHC. If I remember correctly when Jericho was Undisputed champ (or before) the WHC was rather dull itself.
