After thinking that I should probably give Elite a chance, I bought two. Randy Orton and Batista.
I figured they'd be like DA's and flimsy and just plain awful.
But I was wrong, they are really good figures, Randy has become one of my favorites.
I plan on buying more Elites in the future.
So for those that don't like Elite, give it a shot. You never know, you may actually end up liking them.

Definitely. The elite orton is one of the single most impressive figures ever. They are really sturdy and feel far less fragile in the hip and legs like DAs were.

glad you joined the Elite group (pun partially intended) If you find them you should grab R-Truth and Matt Hardy those are 2 of my personal favorites from Elite 2

Elites are my favorite, I like Basic but elite is what I've always wanted in a figure, the shirts are a great addition and make this line great...

Its not that i don't like them i just don't like the joint in the torso and the price. Other then that they are the greatest figures out now.

might I recommend the Elite CM Punk? I don't have it, but it's highly impressive

The Elite Undertaker I just bought has very loose legs & ankles.
The figure as a whole is impressive. I really like most of the Mattel Elite figures, they are just too expensive for me to start collecting them all when I already have so many Jakks figures.

For me, the best couple of elites are Orton, HHH, Taker, Punk and Ted.

My only issue with the Elite Punk is the  ing knee pads. It's great for posing on his stand, but if I'm trying to pose him differently, like for instance his down on one knee pose, it's impossible. The pads barely move, if at all. Weirdly enough, my HHH with the same knee pads move with no issue. Maybe it's just the kickers? |

While I personally like the Basics better, you cannot beat the attention to detail on the Elite line. I have been cherry picking the line, and the Orton and Punk are phenomenal. Rey is really great as well.
Elite CM Punk is hands down my favorite wrestling figure that I own (going back to LJN) and among my favorite figures overall.

I bought MVP, it was alright. They're cool but nothing truly spectacular. They're good for guys who need the hip playability but sorta pointless for someone who doesn't. I have Orton and Christian sitting at home waiting for me when I get home for spring break
