Seriously...enough with the Nakamura figures! Eventually the WWE section in every Walmart is just going to be a barren wasteland of nothing but Basic 91 Nakamura, Elite 63 Nakamura and Battle Packs 57 Nakamura/Balor. and don’t forget about his $32 plus ultimate edition figure that might kill the line before it even gets started.

that Daivari head looks like crap. it looks like a cheap knockoff head. these seem poorly done. becky is the only one im even considering getting because I have zero of her. Hopefully they can give us a better elite version of Daivari.

Okay set, as most basic sets are. Basics look so budget compared to the earlier basic sets that sometimes it’s difficult to even look at. Excited for set 100 though since it’ll be somewhat attitude and legend era - curious to see those attire choices That set will have 2010 stars and attires, but I also hope they go back to the old Basic articulation for that one.

Drews head is big because......HE HAS THE WRONG TORSO PEOPLE..smh Davari looks good but the hair is odd looking. Another wcw Rey flashback not bad but Interesting Becky is Becky Yea it's not the man because it hasn't been a year since the turnaround for a new atiire/person is a year

I prefer Elites myself and there are some nice Basics once in a while but overall standards have gone downhill big time. Mattel could have redone a t-shirt Diva Basic for Becky w/"The Man' graphics. They are not even trying anymore with the Basic line. Maybe Series 100 will finalize the end for these crappy figures.

I wish they had chosen an ECW attire for Rey instead of another WCW one.

Basics look so bad now. I think most people who buy them are only using them for head swaps or if they have kids who like Wrestling Figures

I was hoping this Drew would have the hair over the eyes.

My Wal-Marts never get new elites because they all have 13 Top Talent AJ Styles, but I bet they will stock these...

Rey Rey does look odd don't he?

It’s nice that we’re getting all these flashback Rey’s, but mattel needs to give us an accurate WCW Rey mask sculpt. All the ones they use don’t have the proper nose piece, which makes them look weird.

Are these a joke? Please tell me they're a joke... I haven't seen a set look so trash since Basic 88.
Why is Shinsuke taller than Drew? Why is Drew so tiny, and why is his face so... big and squished? Daivari looks nothing like him. Becky is outdated and again, looks nothing like her. Rey looks like a cheap "Masked Wrestler" you find at a Dollar store.

Probably just Daivari for me. I remember when I used to get excited for the basic sets to drop and usually bought them all. They're just so lackluster now. Why does it look like they've stopped using molds they used to have? I mean the articulation on the torsos didnt change but now a great many torsos seem to have gone MIA.

Daivari and Rey look good but the others are all meh.
Drew looks terrible with that torso. I can't understand why any designer would make that choice unless they truly just don't care about accuracy for the basics anymore. Sad lol.
I like the deco on the Shinsuke but they need to slow down on his figs.
Becky is fine but I think the head sculpt looks super wonky and the figure just seems very outdated considering we haven't seen any other Becky figures previewed. Now I know she didn't become "The Man" until fall last year, but given how hot she was leading into the first ever women's main event at Wrestlemania, I feel like Mattel could have at least previewed a street gear The Man basic figure at Axxess or something. I understand maybe not being able to get one into production that quickly, but they surely could have previewed a render for Axxess at least. All they have to do is put that Becky head on the basic Ronda figure and change the shirt deco. Super simple. Jakks would have had that crap in stores before Mania but Mattel probably won't even get a basic out until the end of the year if that lol.

I was really excited for this set, I must say it’s a little disappointing overall I’m pretty sure I only still buy basics because Of nostalgia buying less articulated figures when I was a kid lol these basics make elites seem even more amazing every time

I know the articulation changed, but does the plastic also look super cheap? Like this would be dollar store quality a few years ago.
