    Love the honest reviews. Fandu leather has always sucked, and I’m not sure if the plates justify it being a $800 belt $820 if you get a nameplate. If they sold the plates only for around $600 to $650, then I’d bite, but to get it releathered on a hand tooled strap, you’re into it for $1150 for a replica.

    I am considering getting one of these luxe edition Crumrines. I already have a premium Crumrine from Classic Shields on order, but am considering getting one of these just so I can spray paint "NWO" on it. There is no way in hell I'd be defacing the Classic Shields premium Crumrine with spray paint. But $800USD (plus the cost of a re-leather) is still a hefty price to pay just so I can have a second one to spray paint "NWO" on lol.

  • @SalvadorSalcido
    @SalvadorSalcido 3 роки тому +4

    I have one major gripe and two minor gripes with this replica.
    The first minor gripe is that the left and right ends of the belt seem to still use the same cutoff as the original Fandu. So, they’re a bit shorter than the Crumrine.
    The second minor gripe is that, at least from what I could see in pictures and this video, the crown is inaccurate. The diamond on the crown should be silver, and the clear stones should be square.
    Now, I can happily live with both of those gripes, but my major gripe is the font of World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. I just can’t get on with it. It’s just slightly too narrow and too bold compared to the original Crumrine. For whatever reason I find the font of the WWE logo’d 3D Big Gold replica on WWEShop to be the most appealing to me, probably because it at least has the right width of each letter and is on the blocker side. That being said, I much prefer the font used on the Fandu Luxe compared to whatever the hell the WCW pancake replica on WWEShop uses as its font.
    I didn’t realize the strap would be an issue until this video, though. Holy balls, this is bad. I know Fandu and AJ’s Belts are in cahoots, so that likely explains the terrible strap. But for $800…… the BIGGEST of yikes there. Thankfully the plates are absolutely marvelous regardless of my own personal gripes about it.
    I think I’ll stick to my original Fandu Gunmetal Big Gold replica though. That thing, to me, is a thing of beauty.

    • @SalvadorSalcido
      @SalvadorSalcido 2 роки тому +2

      @@ericcloutier8387 it’s all down to personal preference, really. I’m a small person, so the size of all Fandu’s Big Gold replicas are perfect for me. And, I just love the contrast between the bright and shiny gold of the filigree, and the darkness of the gunmetal background. Combined with the red strap, it’s a real beautiful combo in my opinion.

  • @ARGCDG

    This is why I have big problems with Fandu's big golds. It's not the fact that they're crap, they're not, they're good but it's mainly down to the pricing AND the straps that you get with it. I think for a regular one it's $300-$500 depending which one you get i.e. Backlund WWWF title or WWF Tag Title (the one that WWE has started selling on their shops), Andre WWF '86 (I think it was '86 or '87) and NWA/WCW Big Gold and then if you're wanting the "luxe" big golds, you're paying at least $300-$400 more and then I think it's something like $15 on top for the nameplate if you wanted a customised nameplate!

    Eventually Fandu is going to finally make an accurate crumrine replica. You know how companies do, it's a process, they give you Mario 1 until you finally get to Mario 3 at last. WWE is doing the same thing to their customers. The only thing companies rely on is people buying the products. Because you gotta by the belts for the company to stay in business or just go all out and get a Classic Shields.
