Hopefully Mattel keeps pumping out more gold belts--perhaps down the road, so as not to "flood the market" per se--to entice us collectors to buy certain guys (not that we wouldn't get 'em without those excellent accessories), as they can always go on someone else worthy of wearing them! Albeit as one poster already showed his double amount versus my 4 sets of classic tag belts (Three HOF Yokos + Two 1-2-3 Kids + two more soon makes six upcoming for sure-tain, as in E43 Hart Foundation...ok, so only 1, 'cause it's tough to count the basic belts from the E&C BP42), I am reminiscent & reminded that one day I need to hunt down some much needed, fairly priced figures. So, preferably loose in good condition, i.e. Demolition Legends (Already got Crush via killer RSC deal recently!), E30 L.O.D., E26 & 27 N.A.O., and of course E13 Edge & E20 Christian. Then I can somehow finagle it all such that those four teams can wear them. Currently, one of my 3 HOF Yokozuna figures remains sealed thus far, one of the other 2 on loose display, with the re-taped package sans his belts, which have gone to APA & Money Inc., respectively, for now anyways. Speaking of Yoko, I have an inquiry about how properly paint/customize one of those white tights-wearing pieces of plastic to the proper red version of his latter, bearded years, but I'll post a topic about that in the right place sometime in the hopes that several talented people respond. I'm sure Michael's is the place to acquire the items needed for taking on such a project, but from that starting point, I'd be lost.
Anywho...On that latter team mentioned above, Money Inc., how I have them grouped/categorized upon a shelf might not be as one might expect. Hence, fair warning, I'm going to take the opportunity to share that with anyone who cares to read in this paragraph. Go ahead and skip forward in skimming, if uninterested, as this portion probably applies to very few, unless some wish to see how others display, which is sometimes a subject header, as I've seen even in recent times. In one row from left to right: I have SS Heritage DiBiase (w/HOF Million $ Belt on left shoulder, tag belt around waist & HOF gold briefcase in right hand); next to that is I.R.S., who somehow is now including intact eyeglasses at last, instead of in his silver briefcase, which is held in his right hand, along with the case in his right hand; Andre's BP 33 basic; And finally, DiBiase HOF w/basketball. I usually prefer to keep Elites (or figures in general) with their suave, spiffy, spruced-up, snazzy accessories where they belong, unless they logistically make sense on someone else, much like the aforementioned reference to switching tag belts to "better" or more proper teams, so to speak. However, the reason for white trunks Ted being with white shirt I.R.S., aside from color coordination, is the height is closer, since I've yet to modify my Irwin legs, which are in desperate need of adaptation via swapping. I may not though, since I don't wanna even so much as touch the figure anymore, so as to keep those bifocals on his face!
Come to think of it, one day I likely need to try and hunt down an E12 Kane (unless a nice re-release occurs for people late to the game similar to myself) to go along with my (albeit basic version of) Mankind in the corporate look, but with the correct brown pants, as far as when they were tagging and also champions at times together. So, I suppose they, along with Rock 'N' Sock, Demolition, L.O.D., E&C, Money Inc., Nasty Boys, Hart Foundation, N.A.O., and even still APA as well, are deserving of belts (of whom are available, more on that later) in my humble opinion. That makes 10 sets of belts, so plenty of them to either track down more of, or patiently await future VAC re-releases here & there, plus lots of figures I missed out on, being late to this addictive collection game, including my biggest regret: waiting approximately a few days too long to get the apparent last remains of E20 Christian on RSC a mere few months back during one of their holiday sales. I am indeed still kicking myself over that goofy gaffe. Kinda like one fellow forum member recently spoke of, in regards to RSC Exclusive Scott Hall!
Anywho, let's "Get Back" like Paul McCartney & The Beatles, to the availability of tag teams out there. I wholeheartedly appreciate Mattel thus far, what with their churning out so many awesome, past tag teams! Additionally, they've answered the demand for the much needed belts, no matter how provided, wherever Bill could fit them in budget-wise, due to deco and all that jazz. Heck, I even forgot to mention Arn & Tully above. So, now I'm thinking that's AT LEAST 11 so far who could wear the belts all at once in a corner portion of a portrayed classic, "Evolution of Tag Teams" type of display! That is not counting the aforementioned, soon-to-be-released E&C basic BP42 versions, including their dull belts to remain rightfully on them, as well. Now hopefully one day, Natural Disasters come to fruition, as they are equally clamored for by the masses upon this forum, along with one of my longtime, favorite, fellow members Mr. @zombieapocalypse 's oft-mentioned, re-painted "Rainbow" Rockers high hopes! Plus with his tremor-quivering, quite fitting, giffy--but NOT iffy nor (Ken) Griffey (Jr.)--Earthquake arcade avatar no less, how can we not all agree?!!? Meanwhile, I don't think either Bushwhackers release need gold around their waists (real life reasons being obvious), although I'm almost certain I'm probably not covering some already existent or not-quite-yet-but-should-be team(s) to come. For instance, do we thus far have only one passable, Elite half of the Brothers of Destruction? Many aplenty probably think so!
[TLDR Summation: Get as many sets of classic WWE tag team championship belts and put them all over teams in your collections, according to your own personal preferences, whether coinciding with actual occurrences or not = my suggestion!]

Has there ever been a time when more companies have been making wrestling figures at the same time?

I'd do Money Inc. even though I love the APA. I have two sets of those belts, mine are on Demolition and the Brain Busters.

I have 3 sets of belts - on Demo, Harts and Money Inc.
So from your choices in the poll I choose Money Inc - they looks elite with them on their shoulders.

Money Inc followed by Nasty Boys. Fun fact... Nasty Boys were suppose to turn babyface before WrestleMania 9 and feud with Money Inc. Never happened. Nasty Boys left and went to WCW.... Bastardssss Ironically, when researching the "Knobs" tattoo on my newly purchased Maryland Walgreens Elite 42 "Nasty Boy Brian Knobbs" figure's right arm--I've yet to find any info on WHY the dude has one 'B' on his tattoo, yet his ring/stage name included two, by the way--I came across some info I was also a bit fuzzy on due to being all of just over six years old at the time of the bold portion I'm going to include below. "World Wrestling Federation (1990–1993) The Nasty Boys left WCW in December 1990 and joined the World Wrestling Federation. Along with their manager Jimmy Hart, they announced their intention to "Nastisize the WWF". After becoming the number one contenders by winning a seven team battle royal on the February 16, 1991 airing of Superstars of Wrestling (last eliminating the Legion of Doom, thanks to interference from Power and Glory), they defeated The Hart Foundation for the WWF World Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania VII. They held the titles until SummerSlam 1991, when they were defeated by the Legion of Doom in a no disqualification, no countout match. They then feuded with The Rockers and The Bushwhackers, leading to a match at Survivor Series '91 where they teamed with The Beverly Brothers to defeat both teams. In the early part of 1992, The Nasty Boys had a feud with the team of Hacksaw Jim Duggan and Sgt. Slaughter, culminating in an eight-man tag team match at WrestleMania VIII, where Duggan, Slaughter, Big Boss Man and Virgil defeated The Nasty Boys, The Mountie and Repo Man. Through the spring and summer, Knobbs and Sags feuded with the new team of High Energy (Owen Hart and Koko B. Ware). That fall, they turned face and dumped Jimmy Hart as their manager, feuding with Hart's new team of Money Inc. over the tag team titles. They teamed with The Natural Disasters to defeat Money Inc. and The Beverly Brothers at Survivor Series '92, but were unable to regain the titles. In April 1993, after a European tour, they were suspended, and later fired from the company." - From Wikipedia, so who knows how spot on this may be, as again, I was far too young to fully recollect all of the finer, minute details. So anyways, judging by that, I'd be inclined to assess that your coincidental mention was pretty close, as indeed I do recall seeing and reviewing segments later on where the Nasty Boys did indeed follow the Natural Disasters story line path from earlier that same year, 1992, whereby they kicked that "Mouth Of The South" to the curb over his alleged favoritism toward Money Inc. Obviously, The Immortal One & his trusty Parasailing Barber friend (w/Jimmy Hart, surely not by coincidence in this face-replacement-case...several puns intended) ended up being the opposing team at Caesar's Palace in 1993! By the way, I wonder--if your fun factoid is totally true, of course--whether or not some sort of Hulkamania power play took place, resulting in shunning & shoving his supposed, longtime Nasty buddies aside in the process? You've got me much more inquisitive about all of that now!

I know they teased for awhile of the Nasty Boys turn over the fact of the Jimmy Hart/Money Inc. storyline. I am a huge 1993 WWF and WCW wrestling fan and constantly read up on it. I believe I read about the potential WM 9 match in an old Pro Wrestling Illustrated Issue in 93. I can't exactly remember where but I do remember this was suppose to be the match. When they got suspended, Hogan/Beefcake were a substitute.
