yes please! I prefer Basics over Elites so I'd welcome Basic Flashbacks. You prefer Basics over Elites?! yes I feel like Elite figures are too great to use for anything. Plus I think they get loose joints way too soon so you can't really use them much without ruining them.

Display pieces and not toys like the Basics. The Elites are pretty much aimed at adult collectors in a way.

Honestly wouldn't do anything for me as I don't collect basics, but for the ones who do, it's a great idea

I like to pose them around (not play with them) which is a form of displaying imo and yet they get really loose :/

I wouldn't mind if they inserted a "Flashback" basic in every set. I used to buy all the basics, but due to running out of room, I am only buying the new characters and extreme attire changes of characters. If they included a legends/flashback, that's probably another way for Mattel to get my money.

its just something I thought of to
1)ease repeats of modern guys 2)give us some highly requested attires for Legends that we likely wont see in Elite form.also eases repeats of Flashbacks in Elite.
I think giving us a vs or team flashback set in every 2 pack series would be great.

I have wanted this for awhile. I even commented on wanting the Road Warriors as basics only to be shot down.

Love it Joker! Any Elite collector should love this idea because the could always convert a Basic into an Elite. Let's say Barry Windham (my most wanted) was released in Basic form... Use the head and boots on any Terry Funk's torso and boom! Or a Luger head on Orndoff's torso. The option would always be there for anyone with the simplest customizing skills. Besides the ones you mentioned, I'd like to see...Steamboat vs Savage battle pack with a classic IC title. And Triple H in the Shields pants mold but painted camo. Add Elite 23 shirt, helmet, and megaphone and we have ourselves a killer invasion Triple H. yes please! I prefer Basics over Elites so I'd welcome Basic Flashbacks. You prefer Basics over Elites?! So do I. And I'm an adult collector.

yeah ya see this is where Basic 2 acks could really shine-using the t-Shirt torso mold for DX members for instance...... as I said earlier we could get
pre DX New Age Outlaws another version of the Rockers HHH,NAO and X-pac in the camo Atlanta Invasion gear(how great would this be) LOD in their Summerslam 92 or red/Black attire Bret Hart and Smith in jeans & shirts from 97 HF Austin in Jean shorts(new shirt design on T-shirt torso) vs Mr McMahon Ultimate Warrior vs Sgt Slaughter from RR91 Ultimate Warrior vs Macho Man from Summerslam 92
honestly theres loads they can do with basic legends.I could go on all day here.....

As far as basic flashbacks I don't mind as long as we get the character in the elite line as well.

Flashbacks elite or basic I would like to see! Obviously elites (more articulation and accessories ) but to just have some more flashback characters would b great I wouldn't care it would b nice to just have them even if it was in basic form .. Almost like the heritage series where they threw a few flashbacks in .. DO IT MaTTEL

I'm hoping we get a Mr Perfect in the next Heritage series.

A Mr Perfect basic would actually be my only basic buy in months, no kidding. Most of the flashbacks I'm thinking of already have FB basic figures. There's a few like the King, Papa Shango, Christian, Honky, ABA Taker would be pretty cool too. I think it'd be cool to see maybe a flashback every wave.

Definitely a great idea, but doubt it would ever happen.
