If they choose to put the new logo on it how can that be inaccurate? Because the title didn't have the new logo on it when the belt was an active belt. And you know if they did people would be complaining about the wrong logo. Well I think there will be more complaints because of no logo. Me being a prime example. It is me being fussy and quite annoying i admit that but strangely it was the first thing i noticed with the belt so it did annoy me enough to bring it up. Looks a tad bit random, a blank red square on the face of the belt with no logo.

Honestly who cares? so they didn't put a logo on the belt. It's not like its going to cause the end of the world.I got the x-pac figure, and I still use the belt. Just pump your breaks, grab a cold one, and chilax! I care, this is bullcrap. It was in the past, you cant replace history. put the logo it had on it. If mattel keeps doing crap like this I wont be buying as much as I am now.

Exactly dude, if we all didnt care, Mattel would get sloppy and we need to keep them on their toes when it comes to small details like this. We are collectors and as collectors detail is vitally important. We are paying expensive money for elites and they are called elites for a reason!

But it has nothing to do with Mattel not wanting to put it there it has to do with the WWE telling them not to use the logo.

When it involves not getting value for money, yes it is urgent. When elites are at an all time high of £17.99 I think it is very much an urgent issue. I'm impressed, two pages of discussion and no one from Australia or the rest of Europe has told you to stop whining because they cost more in their country. What has wfigs come to?

You tell me to stop whining and then you start whining at me. This is a forum for collectors and if you havent noticed, we all "whine". We are entitled to criticise and if you dont like it, get lost.

You gotta slow down and re-read what I said. I was siding with you, in a roundabout way. You pointed out the cost was high. And everytime that happens, somebody from Germany or Australia where figures cost roughly $35 US dollars will come in and try to undermine your statement. "Well, that's not high at all because ours is higher" which doesn't negate that £17, and $20 isn't still a bit steep, considering how disproportionate the climb in price is related to natural inflation. Long story short, I was on your side, and also being a smartass.

Well , Mattel needs to step it up in their quality because it's ridiculous that I'm looking at 3 of the same figures and all have some botch. Trying to decide which one is less noticeable or just not pick it up at all. Cmon Mattel, your figures are great but quality it blows.

They chose to put no logo rather than an inaccurate logo... If they choose to put the new logo on it how can that be inaccurate? A European title belt never existed with the new logo.

To actually now contribute to the conversation, I don't buy the new logo excuse. If that were the case, the newly scultped title with Hogan likely wouldn't have it either.
No, the truth is that the deco hit was probably eliminated to shave money of production. Pennies become dollars and dollars become tens and tens become hundreds.
Low quality paint apps also cut money. It's the sad state of our dying hobby. I am always fearful of the day the market can't sustain the price.

They just didn't want you to have it, it was very personal.
