Here they are. http://instagram.com/p/BjXnOIulLRW Easily the worst Basic set of all time. Complete trash. Cena looks like an ape. No idea who that is in the Elias packaging. Chad Gable looks like a knock-off Poundshop/Dollar Store toy. So does Sasha. |

These look weird....almost like cartoons...Sasha, Baron, and Cena especially. Sasha looks like the reporters smiling in the first batman

Link doesn't work but i saw the pictures. I can confidently say this is the ugliest set Mattel has ever come out with, all of these look horrible.
Elias' head looks... weird
What on earth is Cenas face
Banks' face and attire look bad
Corbin's face is decent but below that is crap
Gable looks cheap and rushed, they couldn't even give him wrist tape.
It's sad that the best things about this set are the wrist cloths on Elias.

Yikes. Chad looks like the quintessential 90s no-name WWF jobber. They've really gone overboard with the t-shirt basics.

Whoa, those are some ugly ass colors! What is going on ? So all wrestling figures will be $20 Elites? Yeah, I'm sure moms and dads will love that. |

Are Basics just for kids to play with? I have three basics, WM 34 AJ, Fan central Nash(just for a head swap when I get Wolfpack Nash), and 74 Kane because of its current value. |

They've never been able to get Sasha's face right and Cena's scans keep getting worse and worse imo.

But the basic line really is shocking and has been for a year + I don't think it's a coincidence that Bill stopped working on the basic lines a year and a half or so ago. Whoever designs them may not follow wrestling at all. The character and attire choices have been rough. |

Wow... the standard for Basics really seems to be slipping lately. Easily the worst Basic set of all time. Complete trash. Cena looks like an ape. ...don't go all "Roseanne" on us...  |

Man...Mattel has really gone to crap. This is sad. I think my collecting days are over I've gotta admit that now more then ever I'm thinking of either scaling right back or giving it up completely. It's not really to do with the basic line but I find myself only wanting maybe 1 figure from each elite line and the figures I actually want (flashbacks mainly) aren't available here and I grudge paying £40 for them. Even figures I thought I'd be buzzing for have let me down. The 2 elite angles so far have been so underwhelming and the attire choices and parts choices on other elites just take away from it. I don't want to have to fix up nearly every figure I take out the box. |

That Chad Gable depresses me, cannot recall a match where he wore such a basic orange and black singlet. It's a shame the Sasha Banks figure doesn't look better, but the face has grown on me since seeing it earlier.

What the actual ... are these? This gotta be a joke right? It's the 1st line for the dollar store right? You got to be kidding me.

Well, I buy Basics if they are a new wrestler/new outfit/look cool, but it's happening less and less these days. |

I actually like that Sasha figure and definitely plan on getting it, then again, I buy anything Sasha related so maybe it's me being biased.
