At this point it'll be pretty hopeless, definitely buy him if you can still find him. 1st run of Honky will not have belt. Belt artwork added to jumpsuit in second run of figures. Tried to add a separate piece but we were way over budget on this figure to begin with. It is a minor miracle it even exists.

They are probably sitting sitting in retailers distribution centers. I mean how many times has your local store restocked a past series after the new one showed up. My stores are now doing it with series 20. Most stores have stocked Series 21 once or twice, but now they are getting Series 20 in again. This has been the norm since at least series 14. So we may see it still in a few months from now. Thats what I have been thinking too. So I kept mine MOC so I could exchange it for the one I wanted

To be fair, Honky often wore the jumpsuit sans belt while he had the Intercontinental title. I don't remember which WrestleMania, but he had a match in one and wore that exact jumpsuit without the belt (different gear underneath, however).

Yea your right I was just watching something yesterday with honky and ultimate warrior and honky didn't have the belt on his jumpsuit it was just red with no belt like the current figure .. So maybe the attire is right it's just wrong when u compare it to the pic on the box and other times when his jumpsuit did have the belt ...

I bought two of them because I figured there would not be a corrected one and it would make for a good trade or resale.

How long did it take for the elite 20 John Cena to have a corrected MITB logo? Or Cody with his knee pads?

How long did it take for the elite 20 John Cena to have a corrected MITB logo? Or Cody with his knee pads? Not very long. They were out in a couple weeks after the initial hit I believe. As for HTM, I too went the classic IC belt route and it looks awesome.

the intercontinental belt really completes him and his iconic look, and helps make the too baggy suit look more realistic... similiar problem with entrance greats Million Dollar Man.. i wish they would use fabric that would help make Honky's suit and Dibiase's suit look more REAL.. maybe lycra, poly blend.. i'm clueless as to their costs, but mattel employees always stress their goal is realistic appearance.. can you imagine if they made kickpads actually soft or gel like.. and used lycra or spandex over it for the guys who have kickpad covers with their logos on it ( kofi) som guys have logos directly printed on kickpads like punk... this would also apply to tee shirts.. that rubber looks awful on most..it worked for rey with the sides cut, and but for guys like randy orton and miz it fits more tight compared to cloth but looks to thick like armour.. where cloth looks baggy and orton and miz never wear tee shirts baggy Cena does which is why he looks perfect in cloth tee shirts...
any whoo i hope one day for an Elite Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase and i really want the suit to look like it did in real life not like a brodus clay fit!!
one thing i did to help with the baggy look of tee shirts is pull the back together tighter and use a thing uh ma jig ( pin ) to hold it.. letting my Legends Macho Man Rock his classic tee shirt more tight like he did back in the day..its not perfect but i only display my legends on my work desk so it does the job!
ps. i'm stoppin on the way home from work tomorrow to get a thin red sharpie to make Honky Tonk Man's ic belt have the savage steamboat red logo.. i know he had it like that when he won it, not sure how long it lasted but thats how i remember it so thats how i want it...any1 else remember that??

I just got rid of the Mattel jumpsuit and put on the one from the Classic 3 pack. I'm happy.

Just found a fresh case of E21 at Target. HTM still not corrected and we usually get the last bit in the south.

give it time, im sure there are still a bunch that haven't been sent out yet. id be willing to be the "belted" version will be quite sought after.
i want to get one for myself because to me more detail > less detail, but I won't be upset if i never find it
