Picked up Elite 100 Rey Mysterio and kinda bummed about the WCW cruiserweight belt being so gold, like a gaudy gold that looks unrealistic. Why are the newer series belts so gold???

On the whole I think Mattels wwe figures have come such a long way in the last couple of years in particular, they are hitting it out of the park mostly now with the realism and quality…I think all the belts are long overdue a re-work.
I know they’ll point to cost and where would collectors rather them spend their budget but I think we’re getting to the point now where they look like they’re made by a cheaper repo company, they don’t match the realism and quality of the figures. Some of them (old school IC springs to mind) need sizing down too.

Too much yellow in current titles. Looks like Mattel used a yellow sharpie on them. They been looking ugly last couple years.

I think all their belts need to be redone. Add some curvature to the plates and make them less bulky. As it stands, the only belt I find that sits well when wrapped around a figure's waist is the all rubber one that came with the Toys R Us exclusive Seth Rollins and Elite 37 Brock Lesnar, and the Hardcore title

The early belts turned silver over time. The newer belts don’t bother me. All my old silver belts do.

The WCW US title is wayyyy oversized to the point where I don't want to display it. I don't see how resizing it would cost them tons of money. Same thing with the intercontinental. I think the winged eagle title also looks a little too wide. I think it needs to be slightly narrower on the sides in a circular form.

I like the gold. It might be cheap and nasty, but from a distance I think they look great.

I would rather have belts that are too gold than silver, I had to put that original IC belt on the grotesque Cody Rhodes figure because otherwise I couldn’t bare to have it in my display

I would love to see an "ultimate belts" line like the ultimate editions where we see belt packs of titles with more realistic possibly leather or felt straps with velcro and if possible, thin diecast for the plates. I'd buy every pack! I could see this only being successful as ringside exclusives though

I would like young Bobby Lashley figure or a re-release with the ECW belt.

"ultimate" belts would be a good start. not die cast, but make newer plates and put them on leather straps. then the plates could still be used on the rubber straps but with less detail |

Remember those weird collector belts that came with basics in the early days? The plates were metal and the belt was some kind of fabric with velcro. Those things were giant.

I could see this only being successful as ringside exclusives though This would be great: fit better Over shoulder pose Austin grafting belt pose Warrior / seth ‘spinning belt’ pose etc You could do so much more with a softer strap Also the clasps can be very tricky sometimes to do up securely |
