Look at my name. Look at my signature picture. You are damn right I have a sense of entitlement!! I didn't buy one Mattel figure until 2 of them came with the kids sized Intercontinental Championship Title Belt. I didn't buy a figure sized Championship Title Belt until KeBen Owens sold me a dozen or so with a price, that is still to this day, the best price I have ever seen. The first and only Mattel WWE figure I bought to keep was the TRU exclusive mail away Mr. McMahon. As you can see, I am very selective with what I buy. Like I said before, I gave Mattel a pass with the Hardcore Belt. I'm still 50 / 50 about the Big Network, especially since I need 2. What will the other Belts with the new logo be like?? The Tag Team, Divas, and NXT Women's Championship Title Belts are fine. I hope they don't change up the Intercontinental and United States Championship Title Belts to this no plastic plates / all rubber version. I can only imagine what the NXT and the NXT Tag Team Championship Title Belts will look like. |

Might as well throw my opinion in lol, I honestly don't think it looks that bad, but that Brock scan is meh lol. Anyways if it avoids a belt being put together wrong so be it! One of the tag titles from July elite stardust has the side plates in the wrong way. The tabs are facing the front -_-

I don't think it looks that bad either. I like the fact that they corrected the side plates, the last belt had the middle and side plates connected.

I'm not sure what to think. On the one hand, the current VAC belts look/fit awkward and stupid on figs, but obviously on their own the shine + separate plates make them better. I think they should have found a way to slim down the belts (using less materials in the process) while keeping the VAC plating design that's clearly very popular. Also it bugs the crap outta me how they made a whole new mold and the straight gold l piece separating the middle and side plates is still attached to the side plates instead of being separate and in the middle. Lame.

Remember these:  I'm not saying people can't be mad about the new belts...but after seeing those pics of Seth and Brock, the painted belt doesn't look that bad at all really. |

Sure seems like they are headed in the direction of those old crappy looking belts haha why would you peak with VAC/VUM belts, then go alright well let's start doing sh*tty belts and see how they do? If it's accepted among collectors, and people continue to buy them, what's to stop them from continuing to eliminate the features that sets them apart? We are talking about the ELITE COLLECTION... Which should be the best of the best! This belt belongs in the basic line, battle pack, or Kmart figure... |

I don't mind a single molded belt if the paint job is nice and doesn't fade or crack too much as time goes by. I have a few of the old ECW toy belts and I prefer how they fit snugly on the figures. The separate vac plates look better but the hooks in the back can make the belts sit out from the body in a way that doesn't look quite right to me.

Oh my god, I'm lmao at people saying they're going to quit collecting because Mattel made the new WWE title(IMO) more realistic than most of the belts they've put out. If something like that is going to quit something, you should have quit a long time ago. I for one love this version of the belt. I like that it's all one piece, which means it's not as bulky and odd looking when you put it on a figure. I kind of like it too. I hate the big pieces of plastic that come out the back of the other belts I have. They do usually look odd on the figures. My only issue is probably that the paint cant be as shiny on the rubber. |

ckhybrid posted some really HQ pics of the title.   That actually doesn't look too bad on the Rollins figure. I suppose we should be thankfull they actually painted it I suppose, can see the day where they don't bother to paint them. |

I would rather have the plates, but considering there's so much visible strap in the design of the network belt irl, it sort of works.
Then again, all they had to do was make a new center plate that was more gutted out to reflect that, so idk what to feel, except for dread that with this info out there, this figure isn't going to move as fast it could've at retail, and considering my local retailers still have plenty of E30 Brock on hand, it could be a big bummer.
