Believe it or not, the Elite 30 Batista has been somewhat rare here in Northern New Jersey. I saw it in Target and I was mesmerized by the great tattoo work on the back! My question to you all is what do you think looks better to own? The Elite 30 Batista or the Bluetista coming out? (Note: i dont really care for the accessories. The attire is just comedic and makes me think of Botchamania's blue meanie parody starring Bluetista) but i just think the Elite 30 looks really cool even without accessories. Thoughts?

Being that an elite at retail comes to about $20 or in that ballpark after taxes, you could purchase both if it fits in your budget.
However, I would say that Elite 33 Batista is the much better one to go with if you're only purchasing one or the other; Elite 30's boots are off and the head scan doesn't complement Batista well. I find the black and white colorway on Elite 30 to be a bit bland, even with the fantastic artwork in the tattoos, and something looks funny about the SCSA knee pads on it to me.

Neither.
Elite 30 is a rushed figure. Inaccurate boots, plus the headscan is the same as the old one just unpainted.
Bluetista is an ugly looking one off attire.
I'd wait till they release an accurate one that isn't a bad one off attire.

Im not sure i could buy one or the other. I would have to get both. Not that it matters in my case as i cant find any E30 figures and obviously the other is not yet available. E30 has a more iconic-ish look wheras Bluetista is such an odd (in a good way) attire for him. So both have their place in my collection. It would be very tough to choose between them. Although ,depending on if you play or display ,that could be something to factor in. If you play with your figures E30 is probably the way to go. But if you're either a loose or MOC guy who only displays them, Bluetista might be a better piece. But id still try for both

Why not both?  they are being released sometime from each other. Personally if I did have to choose one, I'd pick E30, the package with his back turned is collectors worthy. I don't see why bluetista was a high demand. It's actually an ugly figure haha the bald spot is cool but looks so 70s. |

Bluetista looks like a big pile of crap, not to mention the crape accessories
go with Blacktista, at least it doesn't look like a generic figures

If you have to pick one, Elite 33. The headsculpt is much better and the figure will pop more in a display. Plus if you get the Target Rocky Maivia... Instant tag team!

Both.
That's what I'm doing. Especially after seeing the tattoo in person today.

Both. Both have pluses and minuses.
E30: +More tat work, a much more useful attire
-unpainted head with sculpted hair. Beard isn't painted well enough to cover how much the soul patch sticks out. Old torso.
E33: + New scan. Attention to detail even includes bald spot. New torso. Accessories.
-half the tats are covered. The beard looks like it was drawn on with a sharpie. He only wore the attire once.

From the looks of it, it looks like E33 will also have a new torso. I'd say if the new mold is more fitting then grab E33 for sure, but as mentioned above they are being separated by months time so I'd get both if at all possible  |

I'm getting both.
I have Elite 30 Batista, and the tattoo detail is AWESOME. I'm going to use it as a street gear Batista. I put the EG Jericho leather pants on him and a vest from an RA Kevin Thorn. I put some sunglasses on him and took off the elbow pads. So it's like the perfect Heel-Tista. I'll probably swap the head off eventually, as the scan is just his old old old one from 4 years ago without the hair and soul patch painted, but they are still sculpted on, so it looks a little weird.
When I get Elite 33, I'll use that as my wrestling gear Batista.

I plan on swapping the tatted arms from E30 Batista onto the Bluetista. Won't be 100% accurate but I think that'll be the perfect Batista. I'm also going to swap the head cause I don't like the flat black beard painted on his face.

E30. I'm all about the tats, and that is fully inked. Until they release a new one with updated head, torso AND full tattoos, that is the ultimate Batista as it stands. The Bluetista is a waste of time and due to the stupid blue painted sleeves, obscuring the tats, it should've been a basic - because IYAM an elite Batista without a full quota of coloured tattoos, is pointless.
