Basics all the way for me and here are a few reasons why: 1. Deeper roster. Basics usually get made first before an Elite version. There have been several superstars that have only got the basic treatment. 2. Price. Each basic figure is usually $5 cheaper. That means you can buy 3 basics for the price of 2 elites. 3. They look more realistic. I am a display only collector. If you ask me, that articulation in the stomach looks stupid on elites. basic with elites accessories
elites are awesome to play but basic are better for display. but i like both! i buy basic and elite. 100% agree with the bolded parts!

I prefer elites. And its only because of how the trunks look like on Elite figures as compared to Basics. I can't stand it when the logo moves out of place on a basic figure.

I like the basics better because its easier to justify spending 10.00 on them than the near 20.00 on the elites. I do get some elites though.

It depends, I could have basic Show, Taker or Kanes, but Jericho, Michaels and Hart could be able to do their signature moves as basics.

Definitely Elite.... I used to solely get basic figures... But right now, I'm slowly converting my collection to Elite and selling away the basic figures.. Currently, half of my collection is Elite, while the other half is still basic.. At the end of the day, other than articulation and the figures themselves looking better, I think the body sculpts of the Elite looks so much better than the basics... My only gripe is that the ankle joints on most of the elite aren't very stable...

I've gotten a Basic or two for fix ups and every time I'm surprised at how disappointed I am with them. Their legs are useless and the just generally feel like cheap crap to me.

I like elites more bearing in mind I only have 4 so I dont even know if I qualify for an oppinion lol I admit i went crazy with Jakks and spent loads of money on them, so I decided to be really strict on myself with elites only getting a few. I prefer the elites for a few reasons - Accessories - full colour tattoo's - only come out every 2 months (nicer to my wallet) - I went through a stage of doing stop motion things if i wanted to take it up again, the urge to give cena a GTS is near unbearable, then elites would be the best to work with.
