Well that was a major bummer. Just opened up my Keith Lee and it immediately broke at the left knee. Literally every single joint is locked. Emailing ringside about a replacement/refund, that was terrible.

If Mattel wants to turn the basics line into statues, just take out the joints altogether and actually make them statues.

It’s reason like this why I wish they would of made Keith lee an elite, and if they do he’ll probably be another target exclusive and be 1 per every 10 cases.

basics are trash after the joint changes. They're now just $10 head swaps. If you notice most basics sit around on shelves except for first time in lines and those with new head scans.

You can’t try bending figures as soon as you tear them out of the package. They’ve been sitting out in the freezing weather and been in cold fedex trucks for days.
I’ve received figures and have heat them up just to bend a joint or rotate an arm.

I know it’s highly unlikely. But I really wish they’d cut all of these extra lines and such and just give Basics and BPs the same articulation of the Elites. There’s so many basics with really unique attires that id love to have but don’t buy because the articulation is just garbage

I won't Basque in the glory until his eventual elite. The legs look pretty bad on the basic in my opinion.

There’s so many basics with really unique attires that id love to have but don’t buy because the articulation is just garbage A) Even if every line other than basics were to be cancelled, the basic line would receive no bump in budget. As has been explained several times already. B) If they give elite articulation to the basic line, it would just be the elite line. I mean, there's a reason the two are separate and distinct.

I never really collected much until the past year or so since I was a kid. I always loved looking at the new stuff, so my interpretation of Basic versus Elite when they were new was Basic was the figures and the Elite had accessories, not knowing some of the other intricacies. I've primarily collected Elites but have started picking up Basics on characters that I figure we either won't see for a while or at all, like a lot of the Cruiserweights and some of the women. I caved in and order Drake Maverick, Riddle and Lee from the RSC sales recently. Drake showed up the other day but I haven't opened him yet. Now I feel like I want to be overly careful when I get the other two and open them.

Ringside was understanding & very cool about everything. None of the other figures in my shipment had any issues & a replacement is on the way. Good customer service goes a long way with me.

*one figure out of millions broke according to someone online*
I KNEW IT! THATS WHY I NEVER BUY BASICS! THAT MONEY SHOULD GO TOWARDS ELITES!

Like others have said, Basics are just $10 head swaps now.
EVERY Basic i've bought since the articulation change have been statues. If a Basic has the big knee sleeves, good luck ever moving that joint.

I bought Riddle and put him on a stand, so that is fine. I plan to do the same with Lee and Maverick. With that being said.. once we get Elites, the Basics will probably get lost in my spare room and given to friends.

so many basic women I've bought have had joints stuck, luckily water has worked every time but I've just given up collecting women figures now.

I opened the battle pack with Zelina and Andrade. I thought he was going to snap in half. The quality has gone way down.
