If it doesn't fit on a wrestler's waist and look natural, what's the point? All of the belts so far have looked weird on the really skinny elite waists, it's not something new to the World title. Really? I just tested this with Orton and the Mr. Perfect IC title (the only Mattel belt I have so far) and it seems to fit fairly snug and fine. Although I will grant that the World title is a bigger plate and I may be misinterpreting the picture. |

I don't understand the complaints with this belt. If you want an overly shiny belt with "pop" there are plenty of Outsiders 2-Packs laying around at Ringside for you to order. One of the best things about the belt itself is that it's prestigious without being flashy, unlike the spinner. The "dull" look of the Mattel version of this belt captures that perfectly, almost the point where it looks more like the WCW title (a good thing.) In other words, the REAL one isn't as shiny as you are making it out to be. Your problem is having it around the waist of a lousy champion like Randy Orton. Try getting ahold of a Captain Charisma figure and see if it looks any better. (It probably will, almost immediately) I agree the gold color makes it much more realistic imo. I dont care lol still buying the damn figure as its a great fig and comes with cool stuff. Please take a pic of E3 Christian with it. I will tommorow morning when the belt gets here, if nobody beats me to it  |

sum1 teach us how to add two more holes to that end of the strap, so the belts can be more FITTED around the SuperStar's Waist.. it needs it.... FiX - UP... STRAIGHT UP! BROTHER I normally take a sewing needle to get a hole started, then something bigger like a toothpick, or nail. Dont get the hole too big though, otherwise it will be loose. (bring on the "thats what she said's") |

I feel like the original smaller jakks whc belt would be awesome for mattels. jakks accessories were really good compared to mattels even if the figures were inferior. and seeing that mattel isn't planning on making alot since they aren't used as much I'm pretty bummed about it.

Thanks for the clarification Bill. I'm cutting back my Elite purchases so that helps make my decision on that one.

Well that's $17 I can save. The belt is to big, and looks cheaply made.

That sucks, so even Mattel treats the WHC as the second rate title. Well what do you expect from a title that is on the "B" show. WWE probably told Mattel to do this too ha ha ha.

Looks good to me! Shouldn't be all shiny, the real one isn't either! And the real one IS a big plated belt, Mattel captures it fine!

The complaints, jeeze.
I suggest you only collect Hot Toys dolls which are 100% accurate and perfect.

I just got my Elite 10 from UPS, and one of the things I was looking forward to most was the WHC that came with Kane. I've had, since Mattel's inception, a Jakks WHC on the current champions figure. Now replacing it is more of a downgrade, rather than an upgrade. Mattel did an excellent job on the WWE TItle. But the World Title is very dull, it looks cheap and isn't even shiny. The belt looks awkward around Orton's waist, and even more so on his shoulder. I prefer the Jakks belt to this anyday. I will try to get pics up later today (My camera battery is charging). But I wanted to see what other people thought of this belt right away. On a side note, the Tag Titles aren't as nice as the WWE & IC title, but do make a nice addition to the belt collection. I can't wait for current Tag Titles though.   *note: the belt is on the tighest it can be in this pic below    I agree with everything you have said its a real letdown. The Tag Titles are better but still a dip in quality compared to the other belts before them. Like thechamp420 said "Yeah I got mine aswell, very dull. Actually looks like the 4 pack target ex belt, except has painted red jewels" Mine only has half of the Gems coloured though. No big deal to fix but still a huge disapointment. I was expecting the quality we have seen before. |

Jakks belt fits onto the straps of Mattels.
Its a very big improvment.
I cant believe I would say this but Jakks WHC is better than Mattels... :-(
Edit: The side plates are a little bit more of a problem and may need a little slice.
It will be worth it though and will be how it should have been.
