I don't like the attire on the Elites. They are almost all black. Why not give some color to the figures.

I only buy Elites. The main reason is the accessories and the detail. I only have like 6 Elite and pass on the basics.

for certain accessories then I sell the figure on here so I don't pay $15 for a figure I don't want to use and only an accessory

$15 a pop makes me get either Guys who won't be released again, Or in rare instances certain ones like Christian with his Entrance Gear do pop out to me as being worth $15. Guys like Ted Dibiase are passable because of just a shirt thrown in when I could get a Ted with Cody for $2 more. I'm sure Elite's for me will be far and few between.

I like the extra attention to details, like colored tatts. For the most part, the accessories aren't wowing me yet, so that's not a deciding factor. I mostly buy the elite versions of my favorite wrestlers, and people who I think really benefit from the added articulation. With someone like Mark Henry, the basic will suffice, as I'll never need to put him in a pose that requires elite artic. Then there are guys like douchebag Orton, who I just don't like enough to spend that much on. I'll just get a basic of him eventually, and that'll be good enough.

The additional details and accessories are great (not so great for the wallet at times), but mainly I collect Elites because you can do wrestling moves with them.

Articulation mainly for me, the others are just nice additions.

for me,2 reasons...
1) the accessories...Taker with coat and hat....Cena with shirt,hat,and tags....Morrison for coat and glasses...etc.
2) the detailing...the Elite HBK is miles ahead of the Signature and 2-pack figure...Elite Orton is like god made the toy....

While the extra articulation is the main selling point, I have to vote for All of the Above. Elites, to me, are the total package for wrestling figures: Excellent articulation, added attention to detail, and nice accessories.
Elite Triple H probably best exemplifies this. I was impressed that he came with his signature sledgehammer and even his water bottle! Punk and Orton really show off how well the tattoos are done. Edge and Undertaker look amazing with their coats. R-Truth's mic even has an on/off switch sculpted in!
Only Rhodes and DiBiase have failed to impress me so far. They look kinda plain and even though I like their Legacy shirts, it's not enough to spend so much on them. If they go down on clearance, though, I'll grab them.

I only buy Elite figures and a figure that has been World/WWE champion before like Undertaker, Rey, Edge, Cm Punk, HHH, Batista, HBK, Cena, Randy, etc...
