New Japan IWGP belt wristbands,compatible with any figures?

[Deleted]

Was thinking about buying one of them.... they look awesome and very detailed....has anyone else bought one? Are they size/ compatible with any figures? TIA

I was wondering the same thing.

From what I understand the straps are way too big but I'm not sure about using the plates on custom leather straps.

I wouldn't think they'd be any bigger than a wristwatch. I went ahead and bought one.....will let you know what can be done as far as customizing.

I'd really appreciate it. Heavyweight or Intercontinental?

I ended up buying them both P.S. I believe the width of the actual belt plate may be fine.....it's just the length. If there is a way to shorten the length and somehow replace the buttons at that shorter length it might make for a great figure belt....we'll see.

You could just cut and re glue the strap with the buttons to shorten it

Or perhaps cut it down and apply Velcro to the back that could work. I'll know when I get the belts they won't arrive for another couple weeks.

Okay...here's the scoop. The IWGP wristband/belt arrived today. I really wish they would have made them a little bit smaller! The belt looks magnificent but is quite too big for RA style figures. the belt would be compatible with an old LJN though, for those with LJN collections that might be interested.

Are the plates too big or is the strap too big?

Both. Plates are way too big and straps are too long. If it was just a matter of the straps being too long that could have been an easy fix. The plates are just too big for RA syle figs. They might look good on an old WWF LJN style figure, however.

Thanks for the info.

Update.....while the IWGP heavyweight belt's (wristband) buckle was too big......I just received the IWGP Intercontinental wrist band, and I think that it's belt buckle... while a little big, will look good on RA style figures. I swapped the IC belt buckle and switched it on to the IWGP black leather strap. I am going to get some leather cutting scissors to trim the leather down to being slightly over the buckle and I will chop the belt down to the right length to fit around an RA fig (going to apply Velcro tape to back of leather belt. Will let you know how it turns out.
