I got all excited when they brought back the classic IC belt, thinking OK, another older classic reworked is coming back too. Then these pics. The problem is the new belt designs are done by WWE 's creative team now, rather than the belt makers themselves. Reggie Parks made the Winged Eagle and the classic IC himself, well with staff. Design, and production, all him. But, because Vince wanted rights to the designs, Parks stepped out. Too bad they couldn't work something out, he may be getting older, but the guy can make an awesome belt. Hell, he broke in Dave Millican.

Reggie realized that a ton of regular folks would buy his belts, so he didn't want the designs WWF exclusive. Can't blame the guy. He saw what was coming. I think wait time for a belt from Reggie is 6 months to a year, while one from Dave Millican can take up to three years. That's how busy they are, with regular folks and indies. And now Dave Millican making the belts for the WWE.
Wish I could make one, lol. I can't even draw one let alone make one.

Give me the Winged Eagle any day. That was the pinnacle of belts in the 'E, and nothing will ever top that. Followed by the 1990s IC title, white strap of course. This is the new replica IC belt from Figures Inc. I brought up in the Inmate thread. All new way of making it, thick 4MM plates and great detail. Oh, and just for you Scott, a white strap. I prefer black, but this is a good looking belt regardless. I really want one of these. When I find a job I'll either save for it or find one on E-Bay.

Lol!! You could wear it to movie night, and then attack Tomas with it when the movie sucks. Even if you picked it.

If I had $400 to spare, I'd totally buy me an IC belt.

I know, right? Man, if I just had a spare $400 laying around... I'd probably buy the Eternals omnibus and Usagi Yojimbo box set from private sellers, honestly.

Actually, at the moment if I had $400 I'd send it towards bills. Plenty of time for this one when I'm back to work.
