There aren’t many basics that look as good as Elites displayed but I think all the Ultimate Warrior basics are great.
I’d have bought all of the Bret basics if they didn’t have such a high singlet on them. They just don’t display well with other Bret Elites.

Any Ultimate Warrior
Summerslam Heritage Million Dollar Man
Summerslam Heritage Sheamus
Basic 18 Cody Rhodes
Battle Pack Mason Ryan
Basic 58 Paul Orndorff
Battle Pack DH Smith
Battle Pack NWA Ric Flair
Battle Pack Batman Rey Mysterio
Basic 48 Hulk Hogan
Damien Sandow in white
El Torito in white
Vladimir Kozlov
Various female figures released in the Basic line had Elite articulation
Before they reduced the articulation, many Basics were still great figures and it is stupid hearing people say things like the Basic Carlito and Tommy Dreamer (the only Mattel figures those 2 have) dont count as figures.

Ultimate Warrior's basics are thankfully very consistent with his elites. I have all of them, technically with the exception of the TNF one as I converted it to an elite.
The only other basics I have are the Wrestlemania 2 Hart Foundation ones. While I wish they'd been elites, I am very happy with them, and I'm grateful Mattel got such an iconic look for them out there.

The older Diva basics because they still had Elite articulation.

While I wish they'd been elites, I am very happy with them, and I'm grateful Mattel got such an iconic look for them out there. My problem with the Hart Foundation BP keeping it off my list is the scale. Both are way shorter than their Elite Counterparts. That’s why RRH Bret is the only basic Hitman on my list. It’s the only basic that’s the same height as his Elites. All the others are much shorter. |

That's kind of a bummer, but I still love them regardless. |

Have to agree with Davey, all of the Ultimate Warrior basics are great, I think those have come out the best of any wrestler's basics. Next I think would be Bret Hart's basics. These are great in my opinion: World Champions Ultimate Warrior Then, Now, Forever Ultimate Warrior Basic Series 98 Ultimate Warrior WrestleMania Heritage Ultimate Warrior Then, Now, Forever Battle Pack of the Ultimate Warrior & Sting Network Spotlight Sting Royal Rumble Heritage Bret Hart Basic Series 49 Bret Hart Basic Series 97 Bret Hart WrestleMania Heritage Randy Savage WrestleMania Heritage Mr. Perfect World Champions Eddie Guerrero Summer Slam Heritage Dusty Rhodes Summer Slam Heritage British Bulldog Summer Slam Heritage Million Dollar Man Flashback Build-a-Figure Series Million Dollar Man Flashback Build-a-Figure Series Ric Flair Basic Series 45 Ricky Steamboat Basic Series 45 Mankind Superstar Entrance Hulk Hogan Basic Series 58 Paul Orndorff Basic Series 63 Sid Justice Basic Series 95 Kurt Angle |

As far as recent Basics go, I think the Series 101 Sarah Logan is a great figure.
