The Light Heavyweight championship is something that would be well far down my priority list. I didn't find the belt that interesting as it was nowhere near on par or as showcased as WCWs cruiserweight division at the time. I feel similarly in terms of impact of the UK title to me, but I suspect that one to eventually grow in esteem for me. I also think we're a little overdue for a WCW cruiserweight title. I haven't necessarily expected Mattel or WWE to put one into production so much as I highly dislike packaging WCW cruiserweight champions with the inaccurate and entirely separate WWE cruiserweight championship (HOC Eddie, E32 Rey, E37 Malenko).

I'm aware this is a subjective gripe only from me, but personally I'd rather no belt than a belt they never won or held, especially given the era and version of the character. It'd be like packing Bret or Shawn with the Attitude championship to me.

That’s probably the last belt I would need

Spike, tajiri, jerry lynn and crash (hardcore title too) would be amazing.

That’s the one I want. I don’t need the LHC belt but if I had one I’d put it on white shirt brood Christian. That would hurt do bad because I know we won't get gangrel We need a Gangrel

That is most likely the source of my over the top annoyance with this now haha

If they can make a one off belt for a Zack Ryder figure, I don’t see any reason why a LHW belt can’t be made. Release it with a X-Factor Xpac and I’m sure it would sell. Hell, give me a Lita and Dean 2-pack from Armageddon 2000. Because that was made back when Mattel actually tried to give collectors something for their money and didn't consider a few extra paint apps (Warrior... Batista) enough to warrant a figure as "Elite".

I'm still campaigning very hard for a Gillberg elite with LHW title as a SDCC exclusive. Plus they have that Ellsworth body and no one else to use it for.

belts are weird, like certain guys have the rights to certain belts, even though the WWE used them they dont always own the designs its probably not worth mattel's time or money to try and get the rights to making it
but i wish they could, give me a Flashback Taka with the red strap LWC, i'd be very happy
and while we're at it, i want a flashback Goldberg with the WCW United States Championship

I think the reason we haven't gotten a Light Heavyweight Title is because the title just wasn't memorable and didn't have any big moments. We got the UK belt and I can already tell you that it’s going to be just as memorable as the Light Heavyweight belt.

We got the UK belt and I can already tell you that it’s going to be just as memorable as the Light Heavyweight belt. Yeah, the UK title has been a massive flop. We've seen Pete Dunne maybe about 5 or 6 times since winning the belt and I think he's defended it like twice in 6 months. And what happened to the division they were going to make from it? It looks like they just gave up. And yeah, the Tyler Bate figure they made was awful too, had the wrong legs and the head was dissapointing.

They’d get at least 5 uses out of it Christian X-Pac Jeff Hardy Malenko Scotty 2 Hotty
Plus maybe one day they could put it out with Taka or Crash or Tajiri or Gillberg
There were only 11 Champions but that’s still 11 figures you could make
