I don't mind them if they're nice enough, though I haven't bought one in eons.

I always buy debut ones and then regret when an elite comes out. KO and Sami are perfect recent examples.

Still, they're horribly articulated. Not for a 6-7 inch $10 figure they aren't. Well they are more than $10 where I live. $15.99-17.99 depending on what store. If they were $10 where I live, then I wouldn't be so salty about them.

I like them better than elites, i dont like the abcrunch, it just makes the figure look weird, also most of the elites bodys are too thin...most suffer from noodle-arms

I bought SS hacksaw just cuz I figured he'd look great on the shelf. I Normally don't buy basics except to flesh out a time period with a legend's different attire from that era. Like hacksaw, just to put another one of him further down the line - and I'll get the ss undertaker - but not davey boy cuz although it's a great looking fig, it's the same as the elite bulldog. Basics are only for divas and boredom lol

For me, it's all about the legs. You just can't do any sort of natural-looking leg poses with Basics other than just a standing pose. That's why I gravitate toward Elites. I'll still buy a Basic if it's a character I want and there's no Elite in the foreseeable future (Ascension, Vaudevillains), but once the Elite comes out, the Basic is going into a box.
The last time I bought a Basic of a figure I already had in Elite form was Sheamus when he was doing a heel faux all-American gimmick because I liked the outfit and I liked the gimmick, but I never put the figure on display because I just couldn't bring myself to replace the Elite.
