It's actually not big enough if you ask me. Not the strap, which is an issue, but the center plate. From left to right, it's fine but from top to bottom it's too short or narrow. Mattel has a few belts that are, for lack of a proper term, elongated like this. The Smackdown & Raw tag belts and the often praised, Winged Eagle belt suffer from this.
It's better than the 1st version, but still not as good as(and I can't believe I am going to say this) Jakks big version.

Both are accurate versions of the belt. You can't rage at Mattel for accurate accessories, and then be upset when they produce. It's a quality title, just like the one Eddie came with was a quality title.

I don't think they'd have a reason to make this belt again. They just did JBL, and there's not really a reason to do another version of him that isn't APA or just a suited attire. They already did Big Booger Devil Whateverthe Undertaker. Eddie and Brock came with the belt. Hogan would have his boas, bandana, glasses, and shirt - and even that is pushing it. I mean...I guess short-haired Big Show, but even that one got done in the Basic heritage line. The Rock...ehh, I guess they could with red lettering or something, but they still have to do debut Rocky. Maybe we can get it if Kurt comes back. He'd have his medal and the belt; very feasible for them.

I don't see how anyone could be happy about a belt that's incompatible with 99% of their collection.
Hell, if you love the bigger plates, fine, just make a new strap

He didn't get a personalized sized belt. Like 3B said, there was 3 size variations to the belt. The original, smallest one, was held by HHH, Hogan, and Undertaker. The biggest was debuted the night that the Rock won it and then retired the night after Brock won it, when a 3rd "in-between" sized one was made and that was the one that lasted until Cena won it. This site is a great guide: www.wrestling101.com/home/2007/09/wwe-title-belts-a-guide-to-the-gold/thanks for that link! I'm a Belt aficionado myself,and always love the history of the different designs and redesigns of the belts! though he did forget 2 of them: - shortly after Randy Savage won the Winged Eagle in 1988 he cut the strap and pulled out all the metal snaps off,replacing them with velcro strips. the original winged eagle was replaced in 1989,as a new Belt was made for WrestleMania V for Savage to drop to Hogan. - in November 1989, this Belt would be destroyed on Saturday Night's Main Event by Mr. Perfect. of course,another Belt was used to replace it. the difference with this one was,the first 2 Winged Eagle's had a dual plated gold and silver effect,with the recessed parts being silver and the forefront pieces being gold. the Belt that replaced this one - and Every Winged Eagle afterwards - was all gold,with no silver. Nice trivia! I thought it was pretty strange for Savage to replace it with velco strips. Any video that shows that? I'd also want to see a picture of the two toned Winged Eagle. That sounds cool.

here's some pics of a replica 2-toned Belt. not the best,but,it gives you an idea...like I said,the recessed/background parts of the Belt were silver... Macho with the Velcro Belt. you can see the snaps are gone,and the fastener parts of the strap are all black...

I've been pretty OK with the new championship this whole time... until you posted those pics. Looking at the masterful piece of art that is the Winged Eagle and then looking at the Big W... there's no comparison.

I prefer the smaller size but the big one isn't too bad. It'll only be displayed on bigger guys like Brock, taker or even big show (did he ever actually hold that belt?) maybe hogan too. I'm still hoping for a shiny version of the smaller version... And maybe even a dull version of the big one. Both very well done and honestly, it's one of the wwe's best belt designs ever IMO.

Do you have a Big Show figure, OP? I'd love to see if it fitted the waist. Sure does!

I got mine yesterday, it is pretty big but I like it way better than the old one. Size comparison to Shawn Michaels: But it fits around Triple H just fine.

I got the belt today and am kinda disappointed that it only really fits Brock because it is a nice looking belt! Have no problem with the smaller dull version cos that design in some lights looked both dull and shiny buuuut i wouldn't say no to a 3rd try of smaller shiny

I should point out that there were at least 5 versions of the WWE Undisputed title ever since it was first introduced. The first one with the WWF logo, doubt the V1 was small. Then they came out with a larger one with the WWE logo. Sizes varied over time from a bigger one to a medium sized one. Its rather in depth... Watch this video from around the 9:50 mark for a brief history about the Undisputed belt and its changes >>> As for the figure, I think the size is perfect with the Brock figure.
