Will the torsos have the flex(I think thats what they're called) because of the vests? The Elite Rollins' torso looks very much like a basic one.

I'm sure they will. The vest will probably hinder it a little.

There will be no difference between basics and elites for me since they'll be sitting on my shelf.
To answer your question: Yes.

The Shield figures will have Elite articulation under their vests.

It will be similar to Mankind and Cactus Jack. It's a rubber vest over a normal torso.

They needed to put the ab crunch OVER the vests. Those things are so bulky that there will be NO movement whatsoever in the torso/abs. So basically they are half elite figures. I forone might get the basic sheild only because of this. Maybe elite Rollins but that's only because of his Ladder AND Table.

In the same way that every other does. The vests should come off pretty easily.

Yeah, it will bend, because the vest isn't attached to the figure. I would assume anyway, because it's not attached on the basics.

The Flex? I've seen it referred to as the ab-crunch

The Flex? I've seen it referred to as the ab-crunch I have Julian Edelman in my Flex this week. |

My friends and I just call it the stomach articulation , but ab-crunch sounds pretty easier on the tongue

People comparing them to Mankind/Cactus/Rtruth..all of those shirts/vests were made out of a MUCH softer plastic than these thick bulky shield figures. You can still get kind of a bend up and down going on the ab crunches on the aforementioned figures. But the sheild elites will have NONE. They are bonafide basics with articulated legs. Its really a shame as I would've freaked out over the ab crunches if they were built on the vests themselves. I might just buy the Kmart 3 pack and leave it at that with the Shield (at least until they go single)

I'm sure there will be some bend,not much but enough for you to realise it's moved

with the molding of the pockets and stuff, the vests will be pretty stiff. i ALMOST considered getting the basics, but i need that extra leg articulation on my figs

Anyone know if they have removable vests? By that I mean snap or something down the sides like the rubber shirts or would you have to pull in over their heads and arms?

The scans look crummy imo too. I don;t know if it's worth buying them and then buying basics and swapping the heads...for the shield? sounds too pricey. |
