How come basic series figs don't come with belts??

basic two packs have come with belts. macho / punk and orton / christian. Also flexforce 2 packs have come with belts. Lets not forget the target champions set. Both come with the 4 singles titles. ALL basic figs

I think it's to give people a reason to fork out the extra money for an elite. You're paying $8-9 more for an elite so people are obviously going to want more to come with it other than more articulation points.

Lol, I love howw people on here buy into Mattel's cheapness so easily. Sure the figure is basic but the Basic part is talking about the articulation. Jakks put out basic figures, ra figs, and those came with an acessory all the time. Either a belt, a chair, a mic, a cookie pan, stop sign, duffle bag, trash can, ladder, something. AND the Jakks figure was cheaper than what Mattel Basics go for these days. And also the Jakks figures were not to scale so Jakks put out a bulkier figure, thus costing more as far as materials to produce said figures.


Plus if people are willing to pay 20 dollars for an Elite figure just because it has more articulation and comes with either a shirt or a belt why would mattel put more effort into the lesser priced figures? You're going to buy it anyway, so why give more to the customer?


So with Mattel we got scale (which we pay for) but we lost acessories.

because they are basics. even if they did come with belts they'd be the ugly non vaced ones and everyone would bitch anyways.

I'd rather a figure with an accurate body sculpt and paint detail (including designs on the back if appropriate) over all the figures having the same body and 40398576539048759 cookie sheet accessories that I'll never use.

As much a fan of Jakks as I am, elite articulation & shirt > same figure/different head.

Its pretty obvious!

The belts would lose their specialness if every wrestler had one. Eventually you will be begging for a cookie tray or that DA chair with Benoit's face imprinted on the seat.
