WWE Title Belt Sideplates

[Mallrat]

The John Cena DM Title comes with the Mon Nite Raw sideplate, which would have been correct.

However I noticed that the Alberto Del Rio and the Wrestlemania Punk that come with WWE Titles also have the same Mon Nite Raw outdated sideplate on them.

So my question, has Mattel done a WWE title figure belt that has the WWE Champion on both sideplates, rather than Mon Nite Raw on one.

no and mattel has stated its too small of a detail to be changed at this point. kind of a bummer but it could be worse. jakks sculpted a horrible ic chamionship 2000 and never changed it in ten years, even when new belts where made with far better sculpts.

They just have to use the right sideplate on both belts; it's a simple enough change, and I don't know why they won't do it.

I remember asking them in a Q&A and been a little disappointed they said no to it happening Guess it's cos of the clips on the back of the plates been different stopping them from using it on both left and right side.

I'm sure WWE stopped using the MON NITE RAW side plate by the time Mattel took over anyways so surprised they even bothered with it.


Oh and the moment his DM figure was based on (raw draft) he had the SMACK DOWN plate so that wasn't even correct

Good point lol

Seems silly with how much detail they put in, they get that wrong

The things Mattel gets wrong don't bother me that much, but it is weird. Like the BOPPV SummerSlam Bret Hart. He didn't take his shirt off at all during the match and they got it way wrong. I like the shirt the figure comes with and he had worn that prior to the event, so that had to have been a conscious decision from MDT. The belt plates are very obviously a cost cutting measure, so they don't bother me since the reasoning is sound and apparent.

Funny you raised that, that Jakks IC belt was one of the ugliest things ever.

Holding one right now. I like that the Earth according to Jakks looks like a chaff of wheat on the left of the WWE logo, and a Harry Potter lightning bolt on the right. Also, when you're a child and you had to write a paper, you might remember getting lazy and laying your head on the side, so that when you were done all your writing slanted. It looks like whoever sculpted this laid their head down when they wrote Intercontinental Champion.

Thats whats so terrible, all of Jakks new/updated belts in the RA era were amazing in detail even though they almost never painted them. For whatever reason, they never felt they needed to update that S**tty IC belt. Sad
