It is really nice although I don't like the red backing. Same here, I'm contemplating selling off my old one and getting this new upgraded version but it would have to be releathered as I hate the red backing. Oh... It should be with the Figs Inc stamp on the back like how it is on the big gold. It's confirmed that you had indeed bought the cast version from their site? If so, then WWE Shop screwed it up with their version. Private message me some pics of the big eagle belt that you got including the patch on the back. I totally never knew they had the thick plates for the attitude belt. Has it been confirmed that WWE are currently shipping the cast version? Yes they do. It has been around for a while now I believe. Like I said in my other post, you can see video reviews of it on YouTube.. Its pretty decent but a pity that its with the WWE logo and not the WWF The Big Eagle WWE Shop is shipping now is the 2mm. It looks like they ran out of the 4mm which was from Figs Inc and as already known, Figs Inc and WWE have parted ways last year so the replica belts WWE makes now are all copyright and licensed from them and not from Figs Inc. As such some of the belts would be different with the ones from Figs Inc. For instance the WWE Big Eagle. The 4mm ones were from Figs Inc. As soon as that was all sold, they went on to sell their version which is why a few buyers received the 2mm one instead. They should probably update the photo at WWE Shop because the photo clearly shows the Figs Inc 4mm version of the Big Eagle... Its very misleading even if their description states its 2mm. People usually look at the photos first. Now this Big Gold is 4mm thick, sharp details on the plates and its copyright from Figs Inc. Meaning that once WWE Shop sells all its existing stock, it would either be replaced with their version or it won't be available anymore at all. Who knows how their version would be like if they do reproduce it. Also explains why its always going on discounts during a sale. They are trying to clear their stock of the old belts including this next gen Big Gold...

But damn, the WWF logo is such an important part. If only we could have both in the one version. This has always been why I have hesitated in getting the attitude era belt. Thought Im happy with my WHC and WM30 WWE Championship. Shame, sounds like the 4mm version isnt available anymore. Thats why I was getting confused and had to ask. To me, there is little point in buying the WWE version in 2mm as its the worst of both worlds. The new WWE cast versions are nice, im surprised WWE hasnt stuck with a 4mm version of their own like they tend to be doing with all their belts since the switch from Figs Inc. It doesnt make sense that this belt is the exception to the rule and that it is back to 2mm. I keep seeing the big gold on sale, and its honestly going to be very tempting around black friday because thats where the biggest belt savings are. That was when I bought my current WHC belt a number of years ago but Id love to upgrade to the new one. But I need it releathered. I cannot take one with the red backing. Its terrible. Im currently considering whether to cave and upgrade (and change the strap) but not sure what to do yet....

My favourite ever Title. Used to have one from around 2003/2004 but eventually sold it. They definitely scaled it down over the Years though which I didn't like.

But the replica retains its original size... Its freakin' huge! Yes they do. It has been around for a while now I believe. Like I said in my other post, you can see video reviews of it on YouTube..

Im currently considering whether to cave and upgrade (and change the strap) but not sure what to do yet.... I know what you mean. I didn't want to get it at first either until I saw videos of it on YouTube. I was sold at the thick plates and the very sharp stamping. Sell the 2mm shallow stamp Big Gold that you have and just get the next gen 4mm one, then get it releathered. You won't regret it. Just look at the photo I posted of it side by side with the old 2mm one. Its a lot of difference! The detail on the plates is sharper and makes the belt look so much better, perhaps looking even closer to the real one. Its also pretty heavy, the way it should be. Unlike how light weight the old 2mm one felt. Wait for the belt to go on a 20% discount, coz thats when its worth getting! On the left is the next gen 4mm one with the sharper stamping on the plates...

A friend got one and has not looked back since. Messaged you.
