I doubt that the figure would come with the helmet. I could see the helmet being included if Vader was a DM due to the cost of producing it. My guess is "Vader Time" without the helmet and not sure about accessories. Maybe detachable headgear and folding chair??

If they could produce the robe on Taker in E27 they could surely do the helmet. At least I think

perfectlyrude , that is awesome you got to talk to Dave and Reggie about those belts when it comes to figures. Depending on their price it seems like it could be a possibility at least.
As for Vader, I'd like to see the WWF Vader Time attire, molded mask scan, and the mastadon helmet. That WCW title would be sick too and I'd gladly take that instead. I always pictured that coming with a WCW Ron Simmons though...

Thanx bro Dave is a really cool dude he always emails back and is pretty awesome about giving the inside scoop when it comes to the behind the scenes stuff about the belts and thier history. He said it took one phone call and two fax's for WWE to bring back the classic I.C. belt he said he and Reggie obviously look forward to doing any kind of business with WWE, weather its making their real belts, or licencing the toy belts. The 91-93 wcw belt is a interesting topic tho, bc it can come with Vader, Flair, Luger, Sting & Simmons.

I totally agree that it would be awesome for stinger. But when they do early 90's Sting they're going to do the most iconic stinger moment and that is no doubt the great American bash 90 sting winning the big gold. IMO.

It's going to be a two-in-one figure, with detachable afro wig! Remember I called it first!

Loved vader and will prob pick this up. The jakks helmet was all kinds of ass kickery. Would love to see mattel do it with the suggested vader time attire.

They've said before WWE doesn't own the rights to the WCW belts. So that's likely a 0% chance of happening. But Mattel has been blending eras recently, so hopefully we'll get the mastodon helmet with a WWF "Vader Time" attire. Honestly, I'd like a bigger body mold too. I was just emailing with Dave Millican & Reggie Parks yesterday, just asking some historical questions about a few of my favorite belts, I did ask how licensing would work if wwe & mattle wanted to produce an action figure belt of one of one thier classic belts they've made for wcw. Dave Millican said he and Reggie would be more than willing to work out an easy deal for that to happen. He also said they'd be happy for wwe to bring the classic wcw United States belt back to tv and slap the wwe logo on. That's the thing. WWE owns the rights to at least a dozen belts already, and Mattel already has a deal with WWE to use their logos. It would have to be as easy as "sure you can use it." There's no way they'd even consider paying extra for an accessory. These belts already drive up production costs enough for a series, now they'd have to factor in paying extra just for royalties? It ain't worth it. It's worth it for a figure, but not a figure's accessory. Mattel has NEVER paid extra to use outside trademarks on WWE figures unless that trademark belongs to the individual whom the fig represents (Ultimate Warrior). It's not going to happen. EDIT: When you emailed these people, did they give you ANY indication whatsoever that Mattel had reached out to them and shown interest? No. You know why, because Mattel isn't interested in paying extra for accessories when they already have a plethora to choose from.

Vince owns wcw and all of their intellectual properties which includes all of their belts BTW, which have been featured on wwe programming durring the invasion. WWE.com has done an article on all the wcw belts vince has sitting in storage at titan towers of which the 91-93 wcw world title is there. Reggie & Dave created the winged eagle, classic tag, classic intercontinental, current intercontinental JUST TO NAME A FEW, mattel has made all those, why is it SOOO crazy to think they'd make a wcw flashback belt???

Either WWE owns it, and it isn't up to these people to make the decision, or they own it, in which case what I already said hold true. Which is it?

Either WWE owns it, and it isn't up to these people to make the decision, or they own it, in which case what I already said hold true. Which is it? If I had to guess I would say wwe would have to renew some kind deal with Dave & Reggie, like they did when they brought back the classic intercontinental. Once wwe did that I believe Mattel would be able to produce the belt. To think Vince doesn't own the wcw belt is ridiculous. They feature it in video games, they make deluxe replica belts of it. So mattel making an action figure version of it is not as far fetched as you'd like to believe. Why so negative bro?
