I'm not into basics, but I might get that HBK. I totally love it! Same, I only collect elites, but I will collect basic HBK's without fail.

Purple Taker is my fav version of Taker so that is a must buy. I have his elite 23 and its my fav fig in my collection and this basic looks awesome. Might even grab that HBK don't have any modern HBKs only collect the 90s versions.. but I'm digging this one.
I still really hope mattel makes a grey gloved Taker from his 93 look before he switched to purple. Where he had more longer hair and what not.

More boring Basic's. Pass but if your a fan of them, enjoy.

Awesome figures, I wish they were elite, but I will still pick these up anyways.

Damn so many protos have leaked.
Pretty cool to see the stuff early though.

These actually look pretty good for basics. Gutted they didn't do the shoulder thing on the e23 taker.

These look awesome, especially HBK.
Somebody is making odd choices lately, though. Exclusive Elite ladder match Rock, but the matching HHH is basic and not metallic. Don't get me wrong, the Trips looks great, but why the hell not make Rock the basic and go all out on HHH? Basic purple gloves Taker? We have that attire in Elite already, and the debut grey look from Entrance Greats. Why not Summer Slam 98 Taker? The pre-Ministry look is really the only one we don't have besides long hair American Badass.
I'm not complaining. The figures look stellar. I'm just puzzled at some of these choices.

I'm STILL mad at the spirit squad destroying those chappants. My 2nd favorite chappants besides his "tribal" black and cream ones Vs Jericho in that UK street fight Can you please provide a reference picture for the "tribal" black and cream attire?

I may pick up 2 of this HBK, one to keep as is and the other to swap the arms and head out of Elite 19's HBK to get an early 2000's HBK fix-up. I always wondered why Mattel hasn't released one in elite form from his return before he swapped over to the pants look at WrestleMania 21.

Both look really good, this Summerslam Heritage set is shaping up to be one of the best Basic Series

I love that HBK! I wish Taker wasn't so similar to that purple Elite Taker though.

Should have been SummerSlam 98 Taker. Its the only look we don't have yet.

i've got this entire set pre-ordered already so I don't have to worry about finding these retail. Taker, Trips, Dibiase, and Punk all look fantastic.
