So I recently picked up some figures from a local flea market, where the vendors there really have no idea what stuff is worth....This guy sells ALL his Elites, no matter how hard to find or who it is, MOC for only $15, but he sells all his Divas for $30.....(not sure why on that one...) He had a big stack of random Elites, ranging from Elite 20-27, including some BOPPV's mixed in there too, as well as BOTH variants of the WM30 HBK for $15 each! I was able to talk him down to $14 for an Elite 21 Orton, just because I needed an updated Orton figure. I had never actually seen the wave 21 Orton in stores before, and this guy probably had 10 of them sitting there...and I remember everyone complaining about how many Ortons there already are out there. HOWEVER, the figure is the best Orton I've ever seen, and very detailed, and I love the color of the attire...face scan is great as well. I don't recall anyone on the forums ever even discussing this figure at all, so I figured it was pretty underrated....Which one do you guys think is most underrated, and what do you guys think of that Orton?

Oh your so lucky mate. Care to share which flea market and which state it is in? E21 is alright but I prefer E16 Orton because of his nice green logo trunk which stand out more. People have discussed about Orton figure on here, a lot actually. The general consensus is that Orton figure are OK but not great and does not look like him. |

Honestly E16 Orton is way better then E21, or about as better as it gets with such minor changes. They both have the same headscan, only difference is Green trunks and lighter tattoos, which I prefer.

The problem with the Orton elite figure is that is too skinny, and Orton is lean, but not that much. Other than that, out of all the Ortons I have, the one I prefer the less is his first elite, and that is because all the others have a better scan.

I couldn't find E16 without breaking the bank so I will wait for the next Orton figure that look like him. I pass on E21

It's a flea market in TN that has 3 different vendors, one of them overcharges and does no negotiating, but has the best selection. Another guy I've known my whole life so he comes down on his prices but can't compete with the third guy who has all the elites for $15. I'm definitely going to keep going to see him, he says he's keeping up with them as they hit stores so I'll be buying from him from now on.

i don't care for the tattoos on that Orton.
i still think e20 Christian is under-rated. It didn't fly off shelves....but i really think that figures near perfect

I don't remember the series, but I'd vote for the 2nd Elite Zack Ryder figure. I know some bitch about the hair, which honestly isn't a fair stretch for the time period. Plus a great attire, great accessories, and his own belt. Who else has a figure with their own belt that's not named Stone Cold Steve Austin?
His other Elite figure isn't too bad either, minus the headband that isn't removable. Great unique jacket and detailed attire.

Seriously though, easily the most accurate headscan I own from Mattel. Good call. |

Elite fit finlay is underrated IMO. I just like when mattel makes an accessory that they know they'll probably never use the mold for again but still go through with it because it captures a specific look. Sheamus in his king if the ring cape is a good example

I second that about E20 Christian being underrated. E21 Orton is also very good. A lot of people hated on E18 Lawler but I love it.

E21 has been my favorite Orton for a while, but the new boPPV Orton is right there with it. But I do wish the Elite Orton's legs were less ripped like his Basics are.
