And I quote from the Q&A Video:
"Nothing to announce right now, but we are aware there is demand for that item".
Its really easy to make, you take the mold for the black strap and change the color to yellow.
Its been in demand for years and is one of the few belts that still has not been made by mattel.
It could have easily been included with the new warrior in the walmart flashback elites that would have helped that figure sell 10 fold.
Instead we get a re-released belt from warriors hall of fame elite just a few years ago.
I am not even mad, just really disappointed.
Belts help figures sell, but brand new belts help figures sell even more.
I just don't get why things like this are so hard to get done.
Is the yellow rubber that much more expensive that the regular black and white used on current elite belts ??

Probably saving it in their back pocket for it to sell a figure. |

Maybe Mattel wants to finally move away from Warrior figures and put some new guys in lineups. Can’t be mad at that. Or maybe Bill will put it in the classic ring.

Just wait for someone from the LGBT community to throw a fit over some of the stuff Warrior has said in the past where Warrior gets Hogan'ed....Then we're screwed. |

I’m hoping for an inclusion in a belt pack. I don’t want any more Warriors from 87-92 until we get some from 96, WCW, Blade Runners, and Dingo.

They should use it if Ringside decides to do another belt pack.

Its nobodys fault but mattel for massively over produced the overpriced ultimate maniacs warrior with no accessories to help it sell. I am not a big warrior fan, but i am a belt fan and like i said belts always help figures sell. There is no good reason in my mind why we have not had it made by now. |

Anyone got info on having a bigger WCW ECW belt selection? Or why it’s not possible?
What about another belt pack? Any information on that?

"Nothing to announce right now, but we are aware there is demand for that item". not a definitive answer to whether or not it's a possibility. Seriously if someone isn't signing off on it - then all he has to say is "we haven't got the approval to do it. but we are aware there is demand for this item". Geez just be honest, "nothing to announce right now" is terrible, does it mean there will eventually be something to announce? It's yellow dye for crying out loud, not some holy grail. |

If it’s causing you this much anguish just paint a blac belt yellow or something. Mattel doesn’t revolve around you and I’m sure there’s a reason they haven’t been getting it out, despite the demand. These guys have to work a ton to get these figures out and design new ones all the time. The6 also have to find where certain figures fit into the line and what way of going about it maximizes profits.

I was the one who asked that question and while I’m stoked it got picked I’m a little bummed about the answer.
I was hoping something along the lines of “We know it’s high demand so we’ll try to find a spot for it and get it out to you guys”
I hoping we get it sooner than later.
