TA!SS! Power Belt Reference


Hey Guys!

I'm currently working on about 10 Power belts rights now, one of them a Super Show belt, I thought I'd share with you some of my research.


The belts that they used for the Super Show are very interesting. They're much more complicated and detailed than they used to be.

Some information about the new belts:

  • All of the colors on the belt are different layers of vinyl, cut and sewn together.
  • There and three different variations of the belt, two used in Ep. 1, and the other used in the rest.
  • There are actually three squares on each side, unlike the two on the design from the '90s.
  • Each of the squares has a "Utility" (guitar pick, pocket, etc.)
  • The belts were made to custom lengths to fit the various girths of the different 'bats.
  • Eaglebones' pick holder is on his left, due to his left-handedness.
  • The pockets are 100% real fake pockets.
  • The reason they changed belts was that they didn't like the material of the first one.



Here are some reference pictures:
Belt used throughout most of Ep. 1, Ep. 4, Ep. 10(the teddy bear's belt)

Belt used for parts of Ep. 1, Ep. 5 and "action shots"


Belt used throughout rest of series


A drawing of the Pocket layout (the empty square should be a "pocket" as well. The UU is just two little flaps, and the vertical lines are a bar of black vinyl on top.)




I'll add more as I get it, and I'll post about my belts when I'm done.
Talk to you guys soon.
