i thought mine were painted......but they're actually molded on a side note, i still wish we had gotten the silver ECW belt. Mattel figs were in production for at least a year before ECW was cancelled. Mattel started 1/1/10 ecw was cancelled in february 2010 and nxt started in february as well. So only a month before ecw was canned while mattel had the license.

They had lead time though with the license, if I'm not mistaken, as early as late 2008. I would guess that the belts simply weren't in the budget since they would have all the startup fees and making 100% brand new molds and then tooling everything. Belts came after the line was a success and making a healthy bottom line.

We got figures in ECW attires. Heck....they had an elite Brian Kendrick that was scrapped. And he was gone well before 2010 this Dreamer/Christian 2 pack....is based on their ECW feud

And he was gone well before 2010 this Dreamer/Christian 2 pack....is based on their ECW feud Yea I know all of that but belts weren't made until elite 8 which was based off of late 2009 and that was only 2 belts and they were still active at that time. They weren't rushing out a title that by the time elite 8 came out had been gone for a full calender year. The only options even based on the time frame of late 08 to even early 2010 would have been christian who was released in elite 3 well before belts were made, swagger elite 5 again months before belts were ready, matt hardy elite 2 well before belts, tommy dreamer never got an elite, and Ezekiel jackson who wasnt made till elite 16 well after ecw. Sadly I would have loved to have seen it as well as it would have been an awesome figure belt. Im still honestly shocked we got the raw and smackdown tag belts. They even said they had to fight to get them both included. I wish they could have gotten it out. It seems elite 5 swagger and elite 3 christian might have been the only chance to get it. It would have been a better accessory than swaggers extra singlet.

The whole point of this thread is that they already have regular arms that would fit though... But why would they use them yet still need to paint sleeves on everyone elses arms? It's easier to make them all uniform. I'd rather have some with molded sleeves (the guys who the dreamer arms would be appropriate for) than none at all.

Not sure which flashback would be best, but no matter who I would pick it up for the belt at least No, I would much rather it come with RVD Flash Back, He made that belt more than Kane ever did.

RVD never held the silver version. He held the classic.

A flashback RVD with classic ECW, spinner belt and money in the back case would be a must have
