I know Bill's not involved with the Basic assortment anymore, but I'd still like to hear the company rationale behind these changes... ...I bought nearly every Basic female because they were essentially Elite figures....with these new part choices, I likely won't buy any ever again. There is the rationale - you were pretty much getting Elite articulation (sans accessory) for basic price. I wouldn't be surprised if we started seeing more women's elites with the old articulation again, rather than one every 4 series, I could see them doing like one every series or every other at this point. I can justify that, but I don't think we'll see that great of an increase of women in the Elite line. Not that we necessarily need it, but it helped spread more characters across the lines.

I really like the head on Angle. Totally captures that goofy look he has these days. Glad I ordered two. I’m gonna put the head from one on an extra DM Angle.

Love the Angle likeness, but the rest of Basic 83 is a monumental pass. I'm especially disappointed in Fox.

I love Mattel, but these Basics figures are getting tough to lay eyes on.
With the new shoulder joints, there is no t-shirt molded sleeve which sucks, but not they are just slapping a t-shirt on the muscular mold. They won't even use the t-shirt torso mold? Ouch.
These look like dollar store figures with slightly more deco.

Why does mattel have a Jakks figure in their line? 🤔 Are you talking about the Orton with TTL arms and painted torso or the remake of RA10 GM Kurt Angle?

Because someone will ask, or get this attire confused with her very similar attire that has sleeves:

Triple H and Orton are absolutely atrocious. Tye looks nice, good hookup for people who never got the NXT or wouldnt want to spend on an elite. Angle is spot on imo, kinda like his goofy cute expression. dont know what i think about alicia. she looks great and definitely an improvement over basic 47, but the bottom half of the attire is not that accurate. have my eyes on her and angle only atm but yeah, nobody looks at the basic line the same these days. will buy less and less this year

Angle looks decent but I didn’t expect Mattel to ever go the painted torso route instead of using a t-shirt mold ever like they did on Orton. I guess with this new way they are scanning the whole "Budget" will now go to the head scans. I just got the WM Orton Elite and it has the same head and the job on his tats suck. Besides his pre whole sleeve tats the rest just suck. I mean you would never know his one arm is mainly a bunch of skulls.
