I saw these on RSC’s facebook page and they are all straight up garbage. I hope they change some things up soon because these are just awful.

So the stock photo of sasha's hair on the packaging is dark purple so I know lets make her hair plain red.
Come on mattel, if your not gonna try on basic headscans at least get the hair color on the packaging and figure to match...

That Chad Gable depresses me, cannot recall a match where he wore such a basic orange and black singlet. It's a shame the Sasha Banks figure doesn't look better, but the face has grown on me since seeing it earlier. gable wore it against AJ on July 4th

This set makes me sad since I am a basics only collector with occasional elites here and there. It's hard to get excited anymore when the newer series look worse and worse and I'm not even talking about the new basic parts. I mean come on Elias looks like a goofy giraffe, Chad gable should have wrist tape and the far superior new head sculpt, Corbin should be shirtless even though he never is shirtless anymore but it would be a nice change, John cena looks horrifying with those weird lips.
Whoever took over the basics needs to take a good hard look at these again because they must be out of their minds. Obviously I'm just one no name person and my opinion is unimportant. Whoever was in charge should come back no offense.

It actually looks like one of the wwe dolls heads on sasha only even worse. Is it really that much extra to paint the details on corbins pants? I'd say worst basic series of all time lol

Happy Halloween with orange, black, and green! I'm glad they did that Sasha gear, it's too bad they can't do camo or have a matching top, but those are the breaks.

Where's the people that usually defend this crap? Anyways, I'm glad I don't collect basics, but it sucks for those white genuinely like these and have to put up with it. Mattel has been cheapening out for a long time and people are still okay with it and find every excuse in the book. Reigns has yet to get molded wrist guantlets and has those cheap painted on ones, now they also removed the chest part of Samoan tattoo :/

Man...Mattel has really gone to crap. This is sad. I think my collecting days are over I've gotta admit that now more then ever I'm thinking of either scaling right back or giving it up completely. It's not really to do with the basic line but I find myself only wanting maybe 1 figure from each elite line and the figures I actually want (flashbacks mainly) aren't available here and I grudge paying £40 for them. Even figures I thought I'd be buzzing for have let me down. The 2 elite angles so far have been so underwhelming and the attire choices and parts choices on other elites just take away from it. I don't want to have to fix up nearly every figure I take out the box. Same dude. I've wanted maybe one or two out of the elites, the Epic Moments line is interesting but not for me so far (Hardyz set was cool but can't find it anywhere and not paying $60 for it on Ringside), and all of the other series at Target and stuff are never in stock. I'm not paying premiums for figures that just aren't that nice. And in terms of basics, forget it, these are awful. Been collecting since I was 7, seriously collecting since I was 14...27 now and I think I've had my fill. I can't justify it anymore.

I had a look around to see if i could find any of my old Basics and ended up with these. These came out in 2010, almost 10 YEARS AGO. Good articulation, good attires, great paint applications and really good headscans. ![](https://i.imgur.com/jKufcZZ.png) And this is what we have today, almost 10 YEARS LATER. Crap (and less) articulation, terrible attire choices and HORRENDOUS headscans. ![](https://i.imgur.com/fban9pP.png) ![](https://i.imgur.com/n9zKdcI.png) Logically, you'd think almost 10 years would be enough time to improve and make Basics even better than older ones from 2010. But instead, it's a major step back with less articulation, no effort put into them, poor attire choices and execution, and awful headscans. I smell a Jakks 2.0 coming.

This is garbage just kill the basic line and replace it with the retro figures line bump the series to 8 figures have them be mostly flashbacks with a few current guys per a wave and focus on that and making retro 2 packs

Whoever is doing the basic line now needs firing. Just awful stuff being produced and it’s all lazy and effortless. Just what is that Gable attire? Who is in charge of the basic line now? I know Vonner is doing retro’s and other stuff but he isn’t doing basics as well right?
I honestly believe I could do a better job with no experience at all. Do they even want kids and parents buying these anymore or are they actively trying to put people off?

Without hyperbole, this is the worst Basic series yet. They really are having issues keeping up the quality with Basics at the $9.99 pricepoint.
