Love that Kurt Angle. Can't wait for a bald elite.

Can we get bill to chime in here and let us know what's going On? I mean, the basic line has has a number of misses since the introduction of these new arm molds, but why all the sudden are they taking these major budget cuts and cutting corners on things so much? Wish we could get bill back in charge of the basics too. When he was doing basics and elites it was great, now whoever is doing the basics is not doing great at all.

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 What is Alicia missing? I'm not familiar with this attire.

I may get Fox, but that's it. I never picked up too many basics, just the occasional debut figure or women, but I think I'm planning to get less of them now.

I'm with the rest of you, these budget cuts are awful. My only question to y'all is, are the women's figures really that worse off? I've heard that they still have most of their leg articulation, that's a big deal.
Was the shoulder, chest, and thigh articulation that pivotal to poses?

I don't mind the new arms or the loss of chest articulation in the women's figures, but losing the ankle/foot articulation (on all the basics) is the worst part IMO. Maybe that's just me.

😂😂😂I cannot believe what I'm seeing. It's like mattel is trying to kill these lines. What is that Orton. What is that triple h. What happened to rolling out the new face painting across the lines? A painted t shirt on a normal torso is jakks levels of shocking. Diabolical

Kurt looks like the "Tor Johnson" masks the Ninja Turtles wore for disguise in the original cartoon.

Did he go overboard on just for men? "His beard is weird. His stache is trash."

I don't hate the Angle scan, but he looks so hunched over.

That Orton torso is so weird, I mean, they did release a gray shirt basic before, did they lose that spreadsheet?

I do not like the new basic women figures at all! Although this Fox is much better than her last figure its still not ideal to me. The attire is two years old, and her hair is inaccurate.

Alicia and Kurt for me, didn't expect Jakks to make an Orton figure...guess they got the rights? And HHH, what happened with that figures hair/beard?

The worse these figures get, the more money I save. Thanks Mattel!

I feel like t shirt figures are only ok, if that specific wrestler already has an updated basic in ring attire....like for example we got the basic Rollins in his WM31 attire, then they did a BP with the “Never Shuts Up” shirt.....acceptable. Not acceptable our first BAR 2 pack are t shirt figs

Because someone will ask, or get this attire confused with her very similar attire that has sleeves: THnaks for the picture I was wondering where that attire was from. I would have liked to see her with the sleeves one, but its still cool. Hopefully we will get another Fox in the year with current attire. I love that Fox head scan.

Angle looks good but if I were to add him to my collection I'd want him in wrestling attire, Fox is easily the best of the set, easy pass for me as I cant stand her. Orton is... well every other Orton, but oh wait its a painted on shirt too, as if Orton figures arent crapenough. Ty Dillinger is one I want but I'm gonna pass on this one and hope for a better face on a newer figure, and nicer attire.
I think Triple H is in this set too, I'll get an H if he's in wrestling attire.
