Honestly,i feel like they should get out of the Elite line. Hell,They're the same as basics! they have no articulation at all! Why spend money on producing an Elite diva? Its just absurd if you ask me. I was reading a thread that E21 Ryback will be in all black since Aj was to much money,I agree with Hulkamania4life with just having divas in the basic. Your thoughts?

Dude, he was kidding. Mattel did not say he is going to be in all black. Just relax.

Mattel is looking for any reason to cash in on the WWE line. Divas are Elite already so they add a shirt or a shiny belt and mark it up $6. Why not huh, they did it with Hornswoggle way back in the day by simply giving him a shirt, new torso, mini, ladder, and helmet. Don't worry they will cash in on WWE how ever they want, except they won't give the people what they ask for like accessory packs with belts or even ESR skirts and ropes.

I don't think they are. Look at Kelly Kelly it was the same dumb fig with arm sleeves and a belt. Keep them in the basics line.

Aj is elite worthy IMO. Tbh they might be worth it. I understand Kelly with the belt. Aj is understandable

As long as there is a good reason(Kelly with the elite Diva's title and AJ in fully detailed ring gear) I say why not, TBH the only other divas I want to see in the elite line are Trish(For an Elite Women's Title) and Lita(high detailed outfit)

Liz has added leg articulation, does she not belong?
And I was trolling when I said it was due to AJ, lulz.

I like elite divas. Sure there might not be more articulation but definetly more detail goes into it and they add accessories

I think putting Divas in the Elite line is kind of a rip off,....I mean, at least Basic and Elite male bodies are SIGNIFICANTLY different and the Elites have more articulation.
Diva bodies are the same no matter if they are in the Basic or Elite line.....I don't think Divas are worth the $17.99+ retail price point.
If Elite 21 doesn't have a significant accessory and is just AJ in the plaid attire she SHOULD have had in her Basic 24 figure....then that will be a pretty disappointing and expensive BASIC figure.

It's due to the amount of deco the plaid takes. She comes with a new scan and no accessories. |

If having divas helps offset the cost of getting some cool flashbacks and other cool accessories for other figures in a wave I guess Im for them being in the elite line but I dont think they belong in the elite line though with the exception of Liz because she was voted to have a figure.

Yeah, I understand that, but as somebody who has to pay $17.99+ for what's actually a BASIC figure Mattel incurs probably a less than $2 cost to produce, I don't like being asked to pay more for PAINT. |

The minimal difference seems to be the double knee joint. Liz got different ankle articulation, I'm not sure about Kelly Kelly, I do hope she had more than regular ankle articulation. Given the Divas that have been released so far (or announced) then I'm ok with it.

Wish I only had to pay $18 for my elites, I pay $25 retail with the exchange rate! |

Given the Divas that have been released so far (or announced) then I'm ok with it. Kelly was the same as every other basic Diva figure as far as articulation. I don't really mind them putting a couple Diva's in the Elite line. However, I'd prefer they stay in the basic lines since I do buy the Diva's and (at retail) they're much cheaper that way. On RSC...whether they're Elite or Basic, you still pay about $40-$50 which is absolutely  ing absurd for an action figure. |
