Take this for what it's worth. but in the latest "Collectibles Column" on PW Torch, Michael Moore gives a run down on the "Top 5 Figures of MSG's Biggest Draws". In this article he list the #1 figure as Jakks Bruno and then makes this comment:
"Mattel has also announced plans for a new Bruno toy, complete with a classic WWWF Title belt."
Is it possible that Mattel may have scrapped the idea of the Hall of Fame plaque and podium and decided to go with a classic WWWF title?

I'd be more excited for the podium since its something different than just another title belt.

Eh, title is way before my time or even enjoyment of classic wrestling. The HOF plaque and podium are universal accessories that are unique at the same time, so I'd much rather have them included instead of a title belt that IMO is only really suitable to be displayed on him (though, that wouldn't be much different from the Internet title).

That must have been the original idea. I'd prefer the plaque and podium regardless.

Hmm I'm torn. Podium and actual plaque(not cardboard) was cool but may look out of place displayed with other figures. I'll take all 3 accessories and decide then. Could always use the podium on the stage for a draft or slammy awards night!

I'm also torn. That podium and plaque was a really unique accessory, but it could still come with someone else.
There probably won't be another opportunity to get that belt.

The podium made no sense as he was in full gear.. maybe that was just me. The belt would be awesome.

As mentioned above, the podium and plaque are out of place and era. The figure is a depoction of him in his prime, so why include anything other than the WWWF Title, which we would not get with any other figure. I would purchase several Bruno's for the belt alone.

podium and plaque are universal accessories and pic feders would have a great time with it. But Bruno didn't accept his HOF award wearing blue trunks and short black boots right? I'd like the old-school belt.

I wish we were getting the title, but it'll be the plaque/podium. Once Mattel shows something it rarely changes. And if it does it's a running change like Cody's knee pads. Look at the nee Elite Barrett...everyone thought they'd fix the wrist/hand tape and it's still the same. So I highly doubt they'll release the WWWF title instead. I wish they would as that would be 100X better than what was shown.

I'll buy it regardless, I just prefer a unique accessory than a title belt regardless what "outfit" he wore or "age" he was to accept his HOF plaque...

Now that, Bruno, Podium, Plaque and WWWF Title is a very worthy Ringside Exclusive Figure, not Brock Lesnar.

I def want a podium rather than a Wwwf title. Were any of you even born when that thing was around? I have absolutely no interest in one and I can't understand why your all foaming at the mouth at the thought of one.
