Those of you who collect basics in addition to elites-what is your rationale for the basics other than if it’s someone who doesn’t have an elite yet? I might like their headscan or attire better. Articulation is not a big deal to me as I only display my figures on my shelf. Unless you play with your toys, I don’t see why articulated elites are such a deal breaker.

Is Lashley in tights the standard release?

Man, that 04 edge with his current tattoos is a big oof. And the purple edge missing a wrist gauntlet? What’s up with that.

I’ll only buy a Basic these days if: -It’s an attire or figure we haven’t gotten an Elite of yet. For example, I bought Riddle and Lee’s first Basics because I didn’t know when we were getting Elites of them, and it was their first figures so I knew they’d go up in value. And, we didn’t get an Elite of Thanos Rollins, so I bought the Basic to fill the void. -I can use parts for customs/fixups. For example, I bought a few of the most recent Kevin Owens Basic, not just because I collect all of his figures, but because I also used it for headswaps.

Cole not having a neck is disappointing. I'll still get it though because who knows when we'll get another one.
Love the Seth though. Will be getting it with Murphy.

I just want to see what Cole’s head scan looks like. I bought it blind for a potential head swap on one of the elites. Sorry lol

A 2004/5 Edge with tattoos he got in like 2008...That's something Jakks wouldn't even do.

I really hope the elite Sasha has a new headscan.

Am I the only one that notices the articulation on Mia? There's pins in the foot as well as what looks like upper thigh swivel It's the old Mickie James lower body. ![](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/800x600q90/922/HBnzjn.jpg) ![](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/800x600q90/922/eymomi.jpg)

Arent we getting that fan vote Cole pretty soon? Surely he'll come in camo and that fan vote version will be the variant like with KOR and Fish.

There won't be any chase variants in that line as far as I'm aware.

I usually get frustrated when unique parts get reused, but I'm fine with this. If this is what it takes to get some decent articulation on my women's basics, so be it. Not that I'm the type who really needs a ton of articulation (I just display them) but sometimes, the figures aren't quite molded right and won't stand properly because you can't adjust the legs at all (I'm looking at you Carmella...) That said, I really hope reusing this old a mold doesn't mean we get the wobbly ankle issue. I can throw a basic on a stand if she won't stay upright. I really can't do crap if her ankles are messed up. Oh. And thanks so much for Mattel for saving me the money I was gonna spend on that Sasha Basic. Good to know I can pass on that for now. But that Mia Yim figure is a must buy. EDIT: All that said, Mia's head looks seriously oversized. It's unfortunate, but this is still a decent figure. I'm gonna pick it up, just likely not on Preorder.

I hate buying Elites unless there isn't a basic option.

A 2004/5 Edge with tattoos he got in like 2008...That's something Jakks wouldn't even do. These two Edge Basics are terrible... The Purple Edge has one wrist taped, why? Who knows? Has Edge ever worn that attire with one wrist taped? Is it so we can "See all the tattoo detail"? Did it not make the budget? If he has worn that attire with one wrist taped, why choose that one off obscure look over the other times he's worn that attire with both? The 04/05 Edge with the 08 tattoos makes no sense. Obviously chases are just deco changes, so why not remove the 08 era tattoos? The deco saved from that could have given the Purple one his other wrist taped. Once again, the heads look bad. He looks like Sid from Ice Age. Plus they gave him Orange hair again... Edge has Blonde hair, light Brown at most when wet. It's like when they give HBK Orange or Brown hair, it makes no sense.

Judgement Day 2007 vs Batista. He started the match with both leather wrist bands, that should have the rated R logo on them. He took one off about 8 minutes into the match. Odd choice on Mattel's part. ![](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/800x600q90/924/DqBdpj.jpg)
