Considering they weren't making titles when they first started, they've made more than enough since. I don't think they'll get to everything, but they need to be wise with re-packaging belts. If I get stuck with another friggin' gold tag belt I'll come undone. maybe they will change the color again since we have 3 shiny versions of the modern tag titles. I'm good regardless. I have multiple versions both dull and shiny. I don't know how a collector doesn't already have a pair by now.

Def! horsemen Lex I'd clean up triple H trunks to be solid black, swap lex at the knees to keep height accurate along with his tall white boots add medium black pads and Lex's arms for the tapped wrists *sorry to the thread author, dont want to hijack your thread just pumped about this whole elite series*

For sure picking this figure up when these come out. I know I have zero chance of finding this figure retail, so this will probably be an ebay buy.

No tag titles. And no complaints we did not show enough new stuff at Comicon this year when it leaks in advance. Day Officially ruined

Hey MDT, do us a solid and do this. We don't need any more of the current Tag Belts.

It's a complete joke mattel couldn't add them to LOD! All they are doing is repainting them. It's essentially a repackaged figure with a new torso (not a new mold). We pay over $20 a figure and they couldn't throw them in. What a joke!!! Luger only comes with weights. Oh wait too many deco hits on Bootista and the cloth pants on Brock must of broke the budget. Truly disappointed.

This fig looks amazing!! I got the Road Warrior Animal but passed on Hawk to many times. I'm hoping to financially be able to get both of them when they hit the shelves.

Truly disappointed. complain.....complain...complain It's a understandable complaint. Mattel has done a great job with the WWE License. However, it is very frustrating how they treat things like belts. Which is the second most important thing to owning wrestling figures next to the actual character specific figures. The titles is what wrestling is about. It irritates me to see so many people stay loyal through so many price increases, and all we ask for is more belts injected into the Elite line. Yea, we have a lot of WWE and World Heavyweight titles, both current and classic. However, there are only 2 figures that came with the Classic IC Title. Ultimate Warrior and Mr.Perfect. Again, only 2 figures came with the Tag Titles. Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard. I could keep going, but we all know who came with what. The issue is, these belts are very very limited. Which , doesn't kill collecting, it just makes it much more frustrating. Having to deal with scalpers or collectors who feel scalper prices are "fare". It is t right. Supply and demand is one argument, but when RSC even has Exclusives coming with belts, they know belts will sell a figure just as fast as Who the wrestler is or what they look like. Mattel could slap a European or IC title around Gobble Gookers waist and it would become a hot commodity. Hell, slap a Tag Title and World Title around a 99 Austin. Instant hit. I would really like to hear from both Mattel and RSC about this issue. If RSC plans on a Exclusive linked to Tag Team wrestling and with a Classic Tag Title. Also, I'd like Mattel to explain why they keep certain titles so limited as opposed to others.

There is no way we would ever get Shoulder pads and Belts along with retooled figures for the price of an Elite. Defining Moments sure but not a regular Elite. The budget for the extra articulated plastic it takes to make those shoulder pads is probably already at the profit/expense line. Enjoy what we get and stop complaining everyone, you're crying about $20 wrestling toys!!

Enjoy what we get and stop complaining everyone, you're crying about $20 wrestling toys!! True, they are just toys... But, there is always room for extras. Animal: Shoulder Pads Hawk: Shoulder Pads Lex Lugar: WWF World Title Ryback: Rubber Shirt and chair Brock Lesnar: Rubber Shirt and cloth pants Batista: tattoo's ?'s are assumptions. So I understand Batista has a lot of tattoo's. Lesnar is all black, so there can't be to much cost. A lot of rehashed body's and head sculpts. Yes, there are new sculpts and parts too. But, we could easily have lost Lesnar's shirt and pants for Tag Titles with LOD. It's simply the fact, that Mattel has so many loyal followers/buyers, that they should have thrown a bone and added the titles. But, at the end of the day, we FINALLY GET RED/BLACK LEGION OF DOOM!!!

I'm pretty sure nothing's been retooled, it just looks like they took the side straps off of Animal's shoulder pads. It's simply the fact, that Mattel has so many loyal followers/buyers, that they should have thrown a bone and added the titles. But, at the end of the day, we FINALLY GET RED/BLACK LEGION OF DOOM!!! Yup, they're gonna be a hit. The wait's going to feel like forever, we've got like another 2 months?

wait...people actually thought Elite 30 Hawk & Animal would come with shoulderpads AND classic tag titles? i kinda thought it was possible. They can't just let all these belts they've made remain Matty/RSC exclusives forever. If i didn't know about RSC/Matty i'd be pissed to know that i didn't have a Hardcore/Attitude/Smoking Skull/WWF Tag Team championship belts. but i think other ppl thought they'd come with belts because they believe stuff they read on IG or whatever FB pages ppl are always talking about. If everything i read on the internet was true, Elite 31 would've had Hulk Hogan, Razor Ramon and Xpac in it.

Mattel spends too much on the production of belts. Initially I thought they were lying when they complained about how it would be cost prohibitive to include then with greater frequency but they've consistently cited that excuse and at this point I believe them. I'd suggest they just called the guys at jakks and asked them how the so easily fit it into their budget.
