Having now built a small collection of FlexForce figures, I decided to upgrade and get some basic figures. What better way to start then getting my 2 favourite wrestlers, Chris Jericho and Shawn Michaels?
So I managed to find, on ebay, the series 1 Michaels/Jericho 2 pack and bought it for £13 including shipping.
Looking at the pics, these figures look awesome, especially Jericho in his black/blue attire. I just wanted to see who else had these 2 and what you think of them.
Also, what are some of the better basic figures I should look out for?
Thanks
Update: Have bought a Cody Rhodes/Ted Dibiase 2 pack series 1 and a John Cena series 5. Can't wait to get them!

Jericho and Shawn are a good start and will show you how well both tights and pants legs work.
As for others, it's a tough call, they're all pretty darn good. Your best bet is to simply go with Superstars you like.

Not a bad price for a good set. The Jericho is a great figure. HBK isn't too bad, I prefer the Basic 4 though. Enjoy them!!!!

Thanks. Yeah there are better looking Michaels figures out there but this one seems alright. I'll probably get a different one eventually. I plan on getting Barrett next. That one in your sig looks awesome!

These 2 were my first Mattel purchases back in Jan'10. The Shawn is ok. Good starter HBK ,but there have been better of him since. That Jericho holds up very well though and is ,IMO,the star of the set. Its tied with 2P5 Jericho as my favorite modern era version of him. Congrats on making the move up to Basics. Here's hoping you can collect many more!

The Jericho/Michaels 2 pack arrived today. Wow, they're awesome! So much better than what Jakks has been putting out for the last 10 years. Will post some pics here when I get time!
Got a PPV S3 Triple H on it's way which I'm totally looking forward to now!

Welcome to the club!
That Chris Jericho is phenomenal, probably my favourite Mattel Jericho figure. The HBK is fine, but I don't think they've done a great modern Shawn Michaels yet (though I really like the Entrance Greats WrestleMania 12 one).
Some of my favourite basics, if you're still looking for tips:
-Santino from series 1 two-packs
-Rey Mysterio from series 7 singles
-Kofi Kingston from series 10 singles
-The Miz from series 7 two-packs
-Edge from TLC
-John Morrison from TLC
-CM Punk from PPV 3: Royal Rumble
-Carlito from series 5 two-packs

Yeah I was gonna say all the Nexus figures are great, pick those up soon, and also the MVP/Mark Henry 2pack is cool too.

I've bought a few more since then and plan on getting one of each wrestler from the range. I think they're great. Then I thought, if the FlexForce figures are this good, the basics must be awesome. And they totally are! |

Love that Jericho, still my fav one. Have bought other updated Jericho's but then ended up selling/trading them cos i didn't think they were as good.
Basic 5 Hurricane/Knox are good Basics to look out for.
