You know the new Elite 21 AJ Lee figure... does she have the same articulation as the Basic Divas - and if so, could (should?) she have been released in the Basic line?
Cheers.

She wouldn't have been released in the Basic line in her wrestling gear because of the deco budget so she got bumped to Elite line.

yes, she is a basic... but with the detail in the attire, they couldnt "afford" to put her in that line... same as the kelly kelly.. since she had the jacket and belt, she went into the elite line... and im personally fine with that

Isn't Basic 24 AJ an Elite figure?
All Divas have the same articulation. This isn't breaking news..

As others have said, the detailed paint deco of attire put it in elite line.

Not sure if she's going to have a double jointed knee or not. Elite Kelly Kelly did not, but Miss Elizabeth did. As long as there is a good excuse for being elite, such as soft goods, a belt, or fancy deco, then I don't mind. If they ever tried a simple figure like B24 AJ as an Elite I'd call b.s. for having to pay almost $20.

I don't understand how her attire costs more than say Ryback's or the camo Big Shows.
Just seems like an excuse for them to get more money from people.

Apparently, the positioned stripes are more complicated to apply, and thus, it costs them more money to do correctly. That's why the 2-pack with the Bellas didn't have the pinstripes. MDT explained it once before; it was quite an informative post. |

The difference between a basic diva and elite is the Elite gets double knees. As for the attire basic figures are only allowed something like 1- 3 colors to remain in budget. Elites are allowed 4-6 to remain in budget. Not sure what the exact numbers of color are for each line, but it was something like that.

Double knee joint... That is all Are you sure about the double knee joint? Kelly Kelly didn't have the double knee joint under her knee pads. She was just a glorified basic. AJ kinda looks like the same mold from the neck to the boots. |

AJ kinda looks like the same mold from the neck to the boots. Only E19 Liz has the double knee joint. E17 K2 has basic diva articulation but the reason she was in the Elite like was for the shiny Divas belt. E21 AJ has Basic diva articulation but with an Elite paint job. |

Further reasons to not include divas in the elite line, unless they are Flashbacks. The "detailed " paint job they are giving her is no more detailed than the paint deco that Ryback got in B27 & will get in his Battle Pack w/ Mahal. Mattel is just trying to get more money off a figure they could make & sell in a basic line. I, for one, will not buy it since it has no accessories to speak of & is no more detailed than her B24 figure, IMO.

Correct me if I'm wrong, doesn't Elite AJ have a new stomach scan? It looks like she has a 6-pack, yet my Basic AJ & Elite K2 have a smooth stomach?
