Okay -- Give this my best shot.
Mini replicas are just about the perfect size to fit around your wrist. They're simulated leather and brass plating, and about a foot long. Nice if you're kinda new to the whole thing, usually run about 30 bucks, about 60 for the spinner belts or the classics. (I have the WWF IC, WWE Undisputed with Chris Jericho nameplate, WHC with blank nameplate, and Crusierweight with Rey Mysterio nameplate)
Kids replicas are pretty small, don't really recommend them too much unless you're displaying or you don't care about scale. I would imagine they're about the size of the Jakks kid belts, or possibly slightly bigger. Again, sim. leather and brass. Guess they would be good if you're halfway committed, and don't want to spend a whole lot. Usually around 100, again, more if it's a spinner or a classic belt.
Adult replicas are what you're looking for, IMO. Nice size, just under regulation size. Sim. Leather and Brass. Not all that thick, that's the thing. They're noticably thinner. Still, a very good size and weight. Usually look great. I have the WWF Winged Eagle, and it's worth every penny ($260) Look to pay around 199-260 on these.
Cream of the crop right here --
Deluxe, for the extreme collector. Leather strap, thick plating. (I'll be honest. It's leather-topped. Not leather the whole way through.) Bigger than the adult. Very pricey, around 300-390. If you're serious, this is the one to get.
-Or-
Ultra Deluxe. Biggest they make. Leather strap, same as the deluxe. Thickest plating, usually 2-3 inches. This is the size of the belts on TV, and the closest you'll get to a handmade one. About 350-450 I'd say. Quite frankly, at that price, I'd forgo a Figs. Inc replica completely. Most real belt makers and buyers call them "toys."
Real replicas are basically the belts used by the WWE. Hand tooled leather. Real metal plates, machine etched. Look for these to be between 700-1000 bucks. But I'd just stick with the Adult or the Deluxe.
There you go, hope this helped.

thanks alot cioffdogg, im mostly interested in the mini belts because of lack of space, only full size i want is the ufc belt. i want to know if the mini belts looks as good as the bigger ones, ive seen the ic in person and it looks like crap, but i own the world heavyweight belt and its great. i want to get some others but want to see what others have first so i can actualy see them. thanks

The mini ones in my experience can be hit or miss. They're very detailed, pretty much as detailed as their adult counterparts. The only downsides are that sometimes the main plates can be very small in proportion, and it doesn't look all that well, and also paint apps are that much more delicate, and can sometimes be off. But overall, what you pay for what you get is very good.

Id like to get the Jakks Women's, Eagle and Classic IC (Adult reps would be great, but I dont want them that badly to pay that much, Jakks are pretty close enough), but the only thing holding me back right now is that they dont have the WWF logo on them. Might get them though, dunno yet.
