I am planning on buying a Replica Belt and just wanted to know a few things.
1. How big are they compared to the ones we see on TV?
2. How flexible is the leather?
3. Is it worth the money?
4. Ever regret buying one?
The last 2 are pretty much a matter of opinion, but it is still self-assuring knowing other people like me, have little or no regrets.
Thanks in advance.
Also, if anyone has pics of the Adult sized World Heavyweight Championship, feel free to post.

They're a replica so they're the exact same size (save for a couple of inches) as the actual belts. The leather's as flexible as a leather jacket or something. It's definately worth the couple hundred you pay although it's more for show than anything else.

Take my advice, trust me man.
To answer your questions...
1. The ones on TV are just huge, so replicas unless you buy a big one aren't to big.
2. Not flexible at all with simulated leather. Stiff as a sheet of ice.
3. In my view no. It's going to sit around and have no value to it. You can spend 200/300 bucks in much smarter ways.
4. Yes, yes I do. I bought the Spinner belt two years ago from a guy I knew at a hobby shop. I spent every freakin penny I had saved and REALLLLYYYYYYY regreted it. So I had to return it and get my refund. ( THANKFULLY I got it )

One person says yes, one says no.
Any other opinions?

1. IF you get adult sized I think it is the same size as it is on TV.
2. It is pretty flexible in my opinion however just bend it a few times and play with the strap and that should make it more flexible.
3. It is worth it if you have a reason to buy the belt, For example, Lets say I bought a old wrestling belt used in 1986, It would not be worth it because I would have no reason to buy it, Do not buy a belt all because it looks nice, Buy it because you have a reason to.
4. No I do not regret buying it(Attitude Era belt).

Well, I bought one.
Thanks for all your help.
Regardless of what some said, I figured if I don't like it, I can just resell it on eBay.
For those wondering, I got the World Heavyweight Championship.
I guess this could get locked now.

I guess this could get locked now. Congrats, its an awesome belt. Personally i love replicas and have five of them myself. Aside from display though, there's really no reason to buy them. I know you've already bought one, so this link is probably no use to you anymore, but here it is anyway  loosejakks.proboards54.com/index.cgi?board=adultreplicabeltsboardAlso, Adult belts are the same size as TV ones, and the leather on an adult belt sucks ass until you mess about with it for a little while (carry it around or whatever, the first belt i got was the IC belt and that was about 4 years ago. I'm still addicted to just carrying it around the house and its pretty floppy now.  |
