Why are the Elite Batista figs so sought after? Just because they will never be available again? The basics go for a lot of money as well. Ive looked all over the internet, eBay and amazon and the prices are outrageous. E1 Batista is going for over $100 on eBay right now! Both Elite figs warmed shelves by me for the longest time. So did both Elite HBKs and the Elite Y2J. Now they are a ton of money. Who knew............

Probably because they'll never make another Batista figure again.

the Elites are the 2 best Batista figures made by either company (Mattel & Jakks) so I can see why people would want those
Basics, however, doesn't make sense because all his Jakks figures are worthless as it is.

I had a harder time trying to track down the wrestlemania 26 one he's almost impossible to find but I finally found one via trade.

I'm hopeful he could be released in the future as a flashback from around the time he won his first world title.

IMO 2 reasons. 1 they were really great figures and under appreciated at the time.
And 2 he's got a role in an upcoming Marvel flick which is getting a lot of buzz. Custom makers are going to want to make a film accurate Drax with his sculpt and the price will rise probably if it's a successful as it very well might be

I just got loose E6 Punk for 29.99.
I know where you can get basic Batista for cheap if you want him loose.

All of his figures were made early in the line and there are a lot more people collecting now and trying to fill the holes from early in the line. Tons of figures from the first 6 series, of both Basics and Elites, are going for a lot now.

Ive never been a Batista fan. It would be a cool piece to add to my collection, but I couldnt drop over $30 for a guy I never really found entertaining in the first place...

Every time I try to win an auction for one of his figures, I get outbid immediately and I see the figure sells for 100+...def sucks b/c I got into collecting late last summer so I never got a chance to see Batista anywhere
