Santinio's sculpt is diffrent, (The new one has more texture to his hair) But to me Cody looks to be the same sculpt just painted diffrently.

Personally I like the paint job on the Elite Cody more than the one on the Basic 2-Pack, but which paint application is correct? The basic with brown eyes? Or the Elite with blue eyes.

That Cody is up there with the bets Mattels released so far, IMO. Awesome figure and my next pick up!

Thanks for the great comparison pics. I prefer the original Basic scans I think.

That's interesting. I'm sure I'll find the set soon enough. I'm more pumped for Basic 3 and PPV 2.

I dont like that Shawn Micheals at all as I dont think it looks like him the face looks too old and the hair looks ginger. prehaps it looks better in person. I like the Christian figure but not the clothes as they look way too baggy, I also think the scan should look more serious but it still looks good. And Cena looks fantastic, the scan looks the same as the other versions of him though. Nice collection of figures.

Thanks for the awesome pics of Christian/HBK/Cena!
Couple of things...
Why does Mattel insist on painting orange hair? Ugh, it almost ruins it. I really hate the Elite ankle joint. Aside from the torso's being too skinny, they are cool figs.
I will be getting Christian & HBK for sure.

Yes I've actually been checking it daily hoping to find Basic 3. Hopefully they'll show up here soon. As for the Elite 3 - The Cena looks Great near flawless. And that's coming from someone who doens't like Cena. HBK - The only problem I really have with it is the hat doesn't fit his head to well. as for the scan if anything it should look older. my wife and I were watching a promo for WM or his new DVD this past Monday and he looked old. Christian - Other than the missing wrist tape I've no complaints with the figure. Here's a quick fix - Cody - I think the painting on the head sculpt is much better this time around. And the socks are a very nice touch. (too bad he doesn't have the logo on his boots though) Santino - A very nice figure although I wish they used the first head sculpt again. This is how I'd rank them - 1. John Cena 2. Christian 3. Cody Rhodes 4. Santino Marella 5. HBK 6. Miz My Elite Collection - (minus MVP who is with my Basics) The only Elites I passed on are the Truth & Miz figures.

Amazing pick-ups I still need to find them myself, but congrats on the finds. Also how tall is Shawn Micheal's? Ex. Edge- 6-foot-5

I didn't think cena would lend himself well to the elite style when looking at the prototype pictures but man, he looks great. I thought the shorts would look a little goofy with all the joints in them.
Cena and Cody are the pick ups from this set for me!!
Great pickups mate.
