I've literally searched for years, and this finally popped up on the Bay! I'm extremely happy I finally found it! Also found these Mattel's at Target and Walgreen's. It's been a good week!

I assume you got the belt to make a bullet club njpw aj styles ? Which i may say is pretty sweet. How much did you pay for the belt ? I tried looking for one a few months ago to no avail.

I assume you got the belt to make a bullet club njpw aj styles ? Which i may say is pretty sweet. How much did you pay for the belt ? I tried looking for one a few months ago to no avail. I'm still debating on keeping the belt in the package, seeing as it's obviously pretty rare in the States nowadays. I have however, opened all but Styles(I'm trying to find blue kneepads[anyone have any ideas?]). I'm happy to say, this completes all the AJ Styles Elite's in my collection though. And I paid just a little over $100 for the IWGP belt. The same seller put another up for sale after I snagged this one, and they were charging close to $200, which has since been sold from the looks of it. Glad I jumped on it when I did.

Welcome to the...ahem...Club (Nate is gonna be pissed) I've gotta give you some prop's man. Looking into this belt initially, through Google and what not, you're about the only person that has decent images out there I literally tried to find any info I could, and basically came up empty handed. So it's obvious, this thing is hard to come by in the U.S. I do recall an older thread on here about this particular belt, and you had posed Nakamura with yours(just like the one on Styles above). You did some painting on your belt, correct?

Someone else has the belt and added more silver to theirs (were it should be) but I have no idea who it was. I dont know off hand anyone else that has one on the board except maybe Goldust. He has so many I cant remember what all he has haha.

It's more true to the actual belt, with the silver letter's and all. I'd say I'd try the same, but I think I'll just keep it MOC, unless I find another. Which seems like a longshot at this point. It does look pretty damn cool on Mattel's though.

Congrats on the many year long search finally paying off for you. Man, I was literally speechless when I ran across this. I've checked the Bay about everyday for a few years. And that's the thing; there's just about ZERO info looking for this belt through certain search engines. It was a little out of my price range, but I had to have it. I wouldn't mind having another to open, if the price was right lol. Patience can sometimes be a virtue.

Do you remember the seller? (if we're allowed to post that here) I've also been looking for one of these for a long time, but $100 is just too much. I found someone selling the 1st and 2nd versions of the IWGP title for $68 OBO from Japan.

I found someone selling the 1st and 2nd versions of the IWGP title for $68 OBO from Japan. A simple e-bay search "IWGP strap" should give a result. It's more than $100. The 4th version of the IWGP title only exists as a (cellphone) strap. Production was limited compared to the 2nd IWGP title that came with Kazuyuki Fujita, ring announcer Hidekazu Tanaka and exists as a strap. This 4th version was released in 2008, back then it was rather easy to find.

$100 for a key chain? Seems a bit much to me but grats on your purchase. It is an awesome addition to any collection. I'd like to have one for my collection. But seriously, $100? You could have saved that money to buy a Jinder Mahal figure AND a ring with not-to-scale light up ring posts.

I'm pretty stable financially at the moment, so what the hell? And as rare as it is, it'll only get harder to find as time passes.

$100 for a keychain, so what. $100 for any piece of plastic is all the same. Hell, I've got over a thousand worth of eraser rubber in my collection - LOL. You were looking for this belt awhile back, right? Did you ever find it? found but never had the funds to purchase. still chasing the mofo, but trying to score metallica tickets first, LOL I got pit tickets for the final show of the tour \m/

And $100 was definitely out of my price range, but I had to have it. And I had the extra money, so what the hell? Good luck on the Metallica tickets, by the way!

Saw another belt for $155 and was going to try to get them to bring the price down, but poof it was gone.
That's an insane amount of money for a toy belt for wrestling figures.
