Shiny vs Dull Raw Tag titles

The shiny VAC ones and then the ones that are just a dull silver/grey and not VAC.

I'm probably wrong but I think Elite belt releases, for the most part, have been shiny/vac. The ultimate usos were dull for "cost"

Basic/BP will likely always be dull/unpainted

You think belt w elite 98 orton is the dull version?

Gracias

Speaking of the tag belts, it's time for WWE to create a new tag team belt design, especially if they aren't going to split them back up.

The tag belts are by far the oldest design and it seemed like most people were not fans of them from the start (going back to the penny/black strap).

There seems to be some confusion. There’s shiny vac belts, there’s dull but still bright non-vac ones, and then there’s the battle pack unpainted ones that are cast in like grey plastic.

I remember back in the day they had some non-vac belts with elites like the U.S. title with Daniel Bryan, the I.C. Title with Ezekiel Jackson, a WWE title with CM Punk I think, and the bronze tag titles with Air Boom. I dunno if the World Heavyweight title ever got a version like this.

And then there was another U.S. title that I think was vac, but didn’t look as shiny as other belts. I think it came with either the first Cesaro or the second Dean Ambrose.

"Vacuum metalizing is the process of physically plating a metal material onto a plastic part in a vacuum chamber. The technique was first used in the 1930s to make reflective films for lenses. Later, it was extended to various optical parts, such as street lamps and automobile headlights. It is also used as a functional film for aluminum coating plating of records, decorative coating of materials and surface modification. These applications include imitation gold plating of watch cases, metallic texturing of plastics, and metallic coating of mechanical tools."

What could the cost between shiny and dull be?? Are we talking a dollar?? $2?? Dull Championship Title Belts should never have been created. At the very least, dull plates should have only been used for basic figures, at the very least.

Yeah, this is something I think a lot of people are missing.

People seem to think that there are only two versions of the belts. There aren't. There are three.

There are the "Shiny" versions, which show up on many Elites, the "Dull" versions which show up with basics, and the current "Metallic" versions that appear in certain ultimate editions and elites.

I can't remember which figure it was, I believe it was an UE figure, but there was actually a "Metallic" version of the Big Eagle belt (the Attitude Era one). I have it but I can't remember who it came with. Actually, it may have been that one Ringside Exclusive Undertaker as Kane figure.

Point is that as much as we give them crap for putting "basic belts" in Elites and UEs, they actually aren't. They're putting the new Elite tag belts in Ultimate Editions. The basic belts are MUCH worse.
