My wife bought me the Kmart Champions USA Warrior a little while ago. I already had the figure from the BP so I kept it in the package and just put it away somewhere. Now that I have purchased the elite version, I am debating on if I should now open it to do a head swap. It looks like the value has went up on it since whatever clearance price she paid for it. Should I open and swap it for the more accurate hair color or leave it and hope it continues to appreciate in value?

To me, "Thats just a basic". So I say open it. Do the swap. It'll probably look sweet.

I opened mine for head swap. It’s worth it & I collect what I like not to resell.

Is the value in making the Elite look more accurate greater than the potential this basic figure has? Only you can answer that.

Sell it if you need the money, but if you don't then go ahead and do the swap.

I would think you could get one from the Cena BP cheaper, this looks too good to open

It’s a fantastic basic in great packaging. Keep it as is and it should appreciate in time. Get a cheap second hand warrior from the Cena battle pack for the headswap.

Do the swap. I put the blonder hair on my WM6 Warrior and it makes it look much better.

I have an extra of the basic and am waiting for the Elite to show up around here so I can swap the head.

Went ahead and grabbed a loose one off the bay at a decent price. I don’t collect MOC and not for profit but for whatever reason couldn’t bring myself to opening it.

Does that version have the hair wash?
If you do open it you should swap the arms and tassels as well

Do the swap. I put the blonder hair on my WM6 Warrior and it makes it look much better. Is it difficult to separate the hair piece and how do you reattach it?

Why is that figure so expensive now? An Elite version is coming out, its pretty much a rerelease and only the hair color is different.

I bought a bunch of the Cena Battle Packs when Walmart clearanced them online. All but one has the hair wash.

Why are people talking about swapping the hair on this? Is the facepaint more accurate on the new one? Wouldn't it be a lot easier to swap the head?

Actually there are differences between the basic and elite. The elite has a darker shade of red on the facepaint (and rest of the figure actually) whereas the basic has a bright red. The darker red is actually more accurate even though it doesn't pop as much in my opinion. Also, the black line is thicker on the elite and there is also more red in the facepaint as well. I personally like the basic more, especially with the blonde hair so I did the full headswap not just the hair.
