Why doesnt mattel make....

Never going to happen. Would be nice though.

Anyone buying off of RSC is a collector and not Mattel's main market. They are a multi-billion dollar conglomerate that specializes in a product that is targeted at children. While MDT does their best to cater to us, the collectors, they can't pretend that WF is the majority of their sales; we are a niche market and they know it. If they were a much smaller company making designer toys, then sure, but they aren't. The fact that even a single Flashback was made after the multiple attempts of Legends failed is proof they recognize us at all, and the fact that they continue it is proof they care.

The reason why there are so many Arn Andersons available for us to buy two for the belt is because Legends don't sell, proving that the adult collector doesn't make a big enough impact to make it financially reasonable. This applies to anything that would be for collectors, from a Legends line to a belt pack, even down to things that were constants with Jakks like accessory packs.

You have to keep in mind that Jakks is, at best, 1/8 the size of Mattel, meaning their production lines can cater to smaller groups. Right now, Mattel is clocked in as 6.2 billion revenue (after a severe drop during the holiday season) while Jakks is at 804.3 million. Because of this, Jakks, by default, goes for niche groups while Mattel has to go for wider audiences to continue their success as well as keep their shareholders happy and their employees employed.

Don't know where people are getting these figures from as it pertains to what it would cost to make them and what they'd have to sell for. No way they'd sell for 10 bucks individually but they can afford to have it be an accessory that they include with a figure they charge 17 bucks for. That would imply that they could afford to sell elite figures for 7 bucks with no accessories. Doesn't sound realistic...

I wish mattel makes cm punk with royal rumble 2013 attire

what about belts that will either never be released in a figure or a belt that hasn' been released yet?

All of the above, plus the fact that most of them would be stolen right out of the package.

Yup, It sucks. At mine, almost all the Ziggler's and Barrett's have been gutted of the WHC and IC Belts.

Yeah, probably. Especially considering that the people that are taking the belts are just selling them anyway. I don't really see collector's being the ones taking the belts from 4 out of 6 packages. I see what they are saying above too though, that the belts are there as incentive to buy figures that would otherwise be shelfwarmers. The only reason I buy all the damn Cena figs that get released at TRU is because he comes with the Belts.

Painted belt packs as an RSC exclusive would sell. Even if it was a pack with belts that have already been released, Elite collectors would want back up belts just to have them; Basic-only collectors would buy the belts just to replace the crappy looking standard-issue belts that Mattel puts out. Mattel's $10-each price prediction seems steep, but people would pay it, because it's not that steep. Once a belt is made, it is made. Making more of the same is cheaper; even the painted vacu-belts have to be mass produced for Mattel to make a profit.
