Now, we all know Elites rule the WWE Mattel world. They're awesome. But, I also see some wrestlers have basic figures, than their Elites.
Jack Swagger- I like his WM26 figure, I like the design, but not the body. WM26 Swagger, has a lot of problems with the legs first of all, but I don't like his small torso and thick thighs. The figure doesn't feel right. But his Basic figure (to me) is a lot better. It more fully shaped more and it looks more like Swagger.
Goldust- I have his Elite figure, and again, like Swagger, I like the design, but not the body. Its to thin. I liked the Basic one, but I prefer the Elite one, because of the robe. So, his Basic figure seem to be better. I think. Even though I don't own one.
Is there any Basic wrestlers that are better then their Elites to you ?

Jericho looks much better in Basic than Elite. I just got the Elite one for playability. Also Ted looks better in Basic. I really like the 2P8 one.

I find most superstars using the Elite skinny torso look much better as Basics (Jericho, Punk, Edge etc). That mold is just too slender for such a big, obnoxious ab crunch joint.

And, I was gonna get the Elite Zack Ryder, but I think I'm better off with the Basic 10 one. Because it looks great, but I don't think I'm gonna be happy with it.

A fer that come to mind are.... Matt Hardy basic > his elite basic 4 HBK I liked more than is elites because I didn't like the way his legs moved on the elite. I will say Big Show looks better in basic, but I am not 100% having not had one in person

All Jerichos have been better as Basics EC Batista (although narrowly) beats out E6 Goldust without question I prefer Basic Mark Henry over E5 Basic Santino over E3 ,but the E3 was good Dolph Ziggler. I'm sorry but that E5 Ziggler was bad. I like Sig Series,TRU belt pack,and TLC Edge over his elites I actually like WM Heritage Austin over L1 EG Piper over L2 Piper All Basic Christians over E3. Although neither are really that great,I'd say Finlays basic is miles better than his Elite.
Other than those I'd say the rest are pretty much even with each other,with a few Elites coming out on top over Basics (ie Regal,Taker,Punk)

Accessories aside, I'd have to say the 2-Pack Miz is better than the Elite Miz. The basic torso is much more accurate and realistic.

Basic Swagger's awful, it's way too small. The WM26 elite is Swagger's best figure yet.
I prefer basic 8 and 10 Kofi to either of the elites, just because I prefer the red gear.
Jericho and Miz both work better as basics than elites, I think.
Entrance Greats Shawn Michaels is basic style, and it's the only really good HBK that Mattel have done so far.
I think Christian's two-pack series 9 figure is better than his elite.

I'm can't think of any... Always thought all elites were better than their basic counterparts.

Agree with the any guys with the skinny torso comment. Jericho, Miz, Punk (obviously needs an arm swap), Edge, and I would say Ryder but I don't have his E9 yet but the Basic looks more accurate imo. I prefer Basic figures with Elite attires and fixups most of the time anyway. I have E7 Cena accessories on his Basic 5 figure and I think it's perfect. I have the E8 Edge coat and arms on the TLC Edge and I think it's perfect. Plus, I display my figures loose and the Elites are way more consistent with not being able to stand up and having loose joints. Elites are far from perfect imo and I feel like the loves is way over done because the accessories are so great. The TLC JoMo scan is far superior to the E4 scan imo so how do you say one is better than the other. It all depends on what you like but there are lost of Basics I prefer over Elites. Zigglers B10 figure with E5 vest and Mattel IC title is perfect imo as well.

Well I'm not a fan of the Elite heads on Jericho, Big Show, or Kozlov, but the figures over all are better so I can't say them. I'm going with none right now.
