Before I finish the video, I just gotta say that removing the bicep cut was the absolute worst thing they could've done. I hate doing it, but I spend the extra money for elites because modern basics just don't cut it for me anymore.

Yo Brad, I know you didnt ask for this comment, but here it goes. Thank you. Thank you for these videos man. Not trying to go too deep here, maybe it's just weird seasonal depression, but these videos are something I look forward to every day. Its just a few minutes, but its a constant and I truly appreciate it. I only collect Attitude Era wrestlers, but these videos are just a bright spot in my day.

I would love them to add bicep cut back but I'd hate for them to up the price again with these additions. I will say I really like that you can interchange heads and hands because basics sorry, "main events" have good head sculpts from time to time. However thats where creativity ends because you can't swap arms, legs, nothing! I miss that beauty of basics.

I’m not really sure why they changed the name for it… because yeah their names represented what they were- A basic version, the elite version and the ultimate version of that wrestler So where do they go now? Do they keep the rest of the names or are they gonna change the other names to match the ME name? I feel like they need to tweak the figures to make it fit that name- Bring back the bicep swivels but keep the single joints so it gives incentive for people to buy either the basic or the elite figure

LA Knights ankle articulation was for early LA Knight basics after a limited amount they took the articulation away. Also the women had better leg movement than the men's figures. Also The new M.E./Basic figures now have the leg movement the women's figures had. The old basics had straight leg movement.

I’ve literally bought maybe 5 - 7 basics the entire time that Mattel has had the WWE license. And the times I did buy them, it was for a head swap. I collect elite and Ultimate. That’s it. I’ve had a few AEW figures too but I’m pretty well done with those unless they make a supreme Sting or MJF.

They'll always be basics to me too. I started recollecting WWE figures a few years ago.of not collecting anything besides comic books(i still collect comics which i'll never stop doing.) I've amassed a pretty good collection of figures, i'm just collecting one of each figure. Speaking of which, i worked at my local TJ Maxx here in new Hampshire and grabbed basic series 137 seth rollins at $5.99(he was $5.39 with my work discount.) My TJX didn't have the basic 137 roman reigns but the walmart down the street did so i'm gonna grab him soon because i like the ponytail headscan and red shoes on that one; i want to put the ponytail on my top pick 2022 reigns(also got him at that same TJ Maxx where i got rollins, before christmas at $7.19, again, with my work discount. So what i'm trying to day is check your TJ Maxx and save money on WWE figures. i haven't seen that basic LA Knight anywhere in my area and i need him now. Night.

I feel like the name Main Event Series should be reserved for figures that are above the Ultimate Edition I still think Mattel needs to challenge the attire customization options that Jazwares Supreme collection has over Ultimate Editions. If only their figures didn’t break though and were properly distributed never saw Kenny omega in my retail once.
@devitt899 ай бұрын
Sucks that they have pinless legs. I mean, if they have single jointed knees, that kinda sucks. But looking at the LA Knight, it seemed to pose well regardless. I want to convert that EC seth basic to an elite, and I suppose I gotta deal with the single jointed knees. Not too bad though! I'll definitely be getting basics now

what I hate in the basic figurines are the arms I find that we don't have enough possibilities with this type of arm it should go back to the old model the legs of now with the arms of the time it would be fire maybe we would start buying a little more basic figure again
