I am absolutely disappointed with this belt. I'm starting to think that this was made so that it fits the Brock figure (if it does) because it gets rid of the hooks on the back. It might for the figures better but we lose the shinyness of the belt and my BIGGEST complaint is that I cannot take the plates of and put them on my own strap. Now I would have to cut the belt to do so  |

I dont collect hotwheels.
This is rough, several long time collectors quitting this week followed by more lackluster product. We may have hit our peak...

I got out of the game as soon as the quality dropped and price raised the first time, back when we went from cloth to rubber t-shirts and the price jumped up to £18, no surprise that its gone up again.
This kind of belt I think would justify the £10 they charge for Basics these days.

I got my set of Elite 37 yesterday and noticed this. I feel pretty cheated by it. Between that crappy head scan and now a cheap belt, no doubt that Lesnar figure warms shelves.
Also has Lesnar ever worn that shirt as a cut off without the sides?

I think it may be time for me to stop collecting these Championship Title Belts. I may even consider selling what I have. I needed 2 of the Big Network Belts, but this isn't what I want. I understood why the Hardcore Championship Title Belt was done the way it was, but this is not good. Is it safe to guess that the NXT Championship Title Belt will be like this!? Please no! The most reflective/shiny title currently in the WWE will look complete trash if it was painted. |

Am I the only one that kinda likes this belt but anyways why couldn't they have just molded hard plastic plates to the rubber? Can I see a pic of the belt around someones waist?

This and if Stings USA jaket is plastic, im done too. Coon and Apoc had the right idea... |

Sometimes I feel like they try new stuff just to see how we react. Mattel ur better than this. Just like we hate getting elites with dull belts.
Sell belt packs as ringside exclusives and be done with it. We will pay for these! It beats paying scalper prices on eBay. $50 for an attitude era belt. Ur crazy.

Mattel are doing what's best for business.
I suppose it's what side of the desk you sit on really.

It's the same belt that comes with this playset, simply painted differently. These are made CHEAP, for low budget figures and playsets so they can have a low price point... Also made for basics like the Kmart champion figures These are NOT supposed to be made for Elite High Quality Collectors figures... I really feel cheated on this The Kmart figures have plates not molded champ. In my opinion i think it looks Ok, i understand prices are coming up. But they come up because the production line in China, plus the shipment cost is high. I have always gave some options, and is to bring those lines back to the USA or Puerto Rico so the cost can be cut and since creating jobs increases economy, that makes people spend more and cost will lower with time. |

This and if Stings USA jaket is plastic, im done too. Coon and Apoc had the right idea... Yea but think about how ugly that will look. You might as well print out a paper version and add some metallic paint on it and it will look the same. And as for Sting, looks like you are going to be done too  |

MattelDesignTeam you just disappear after SDCC? Youve got some explainin to do. Those VAC titles are one big reason I decided $17-20 was ok. Not anymore... I guess We aren't as good as fans like 2K fans who were told immediately that Hogan was pulled. Im growing sick of it. This line is popular as  and its as if everyone's ignoring it. Retailers, and Mattel themselves. There was some quarterly report recently and I saw 0 mention of WWE. Why? Because they flopped in 2010? They are popular as in 2015. And ignore it. Oh and E37 Brock. |

Which is what theyre becoming, flashback elites in nice boxes |

Nothing about molded belts are best for business The question is would you rather have a molded belt or no belt ?. Mattel is a business and there is a budget for these figures. Mattel is never going to explain in detail to anyone on a forum their strategy. For everyone who says I won't buy it etc., plenty will and Mattel will make their money. |

Who didn't expect this? They used an entirely new body mold for Stephanie,A new shirt mold for Seth, a new vest mold for Dean Malenko, and the new Jacket for Miz. Too bad they added the shine to Cenas Shirt instead of the belt. I'll still get Brock though
