Pretty much exactly to scale. Of the ones I have, Elite Punk is the height of Basic Kofi while Rey is smaller than all of them. And Heritage Undertaker is taller.

Yeah they are. So you can buy a little of each and it looks good.

I don't get this, the only difference is the basics don't have the mid-torso articulation, and the leg articulation is more simple. Other than that, they're exactly the same. The Elite come with accessories, which are for the most part very cool, but I don't really understand people here who are making them out to be very different, when they're not. |

Personally I like the look of the Basics better. I am not a fan of the Elite hip design. I really wish they used the DCUC styled hip joints. But yes they are to scale with each other.

I collect Basics only thought Elites look cool with accesories. I hope though they start giving the basics accesories as well

yea i just wanted to know so i could pick up bourne swagger etc who don't have elite figures. Be careful with Swagger - it's a decent figure but it's tiny compared to what it should be. Mattel Swagger is the same size as Cody Rhodes and Finlay. |

Mattel Swagger is the same size as Cody Rhodes and Finlay. Thanks I'm not crazy about the scan either, maybe I'll just wait for the next one of him and see if it improves. |

I don't like the extra leg articulation or the torso articulation, so that makes Elites far worse than Basics. |

Personally I like basics a lot better simply because of the "cut torso" effect on the elites. Some of the elites look cool with the add-ons (Edge and Undertaker with their jackets, for example) but I think the basics are better looking figures on their own.

I liked the Elite's but after getting a few from series 2 I realized they're not all that great. I like the accessories and everything, but the joints look kinda ugly on certain guys. I'll stick with the Basics but if I see an Elite like Christian or someone that I really like, I'll budge.

And the thing about Elites is that HHH and Cena are bigger than the basic one . Meaning a lot bulker .

for me it varies....guys i really like and want figures of,like HHH,Cena,HBK,Orton,Batista,Undertaker,Edge,etc. i will get the Elite's of,not only for the articulation but the accessories...if it's a guy i want to get,but don't jump over the moon for (Santino,Jericho,Rhodes,Dibiase,Miz,etc.) i'll just stick with the cheaper,yet still detailed Basic versions...
