For me it's not so much the swivel that bothers me. It's how ugly and cheap those arms look. They look like they were developed for dollar store knockoffs. I don't collect basics, so it's not really a problem for me except that I do buy the occasional basic to swap arms when I need a pair. Great example being that elite 51 hall who had small arms. Where do I go for now if I wanted the bigger arms on the basic? I can't.

I honestly could have lived with those arms had they started out that way. The less noticeable joints, the better IMO. I'm just not a fan of changing styles mid-line. My OCD isn't a fan either.

I don’t mind the arm change. It sucks if I want to do simple arm changes, but I don’t mind the change. I was a little upset with the loss of ankle hinges on the basics, but then I reminded myself I am only going to stand it on a shelf so it works better as I will never have one fall over because of a loose ankle. lol Finally after almost a full year of looking I found this 3-Pack.  |

It's the paint apps that bothers me.
The sleeves on the shirt Rollins looks awful.
And is Balor missing colour on his fringe ? 😔

I understand that the articulation was just moved, but lord that looks terrible in every aspect. This is coming from someone who would buy basics. I won't be buying anymore.
The lines aren't clean. The molds make the arms look cheap. The ankles make them look cheap. I mean...RA figures were Jakks' basic figures and those had all the articulation. Why the sudden need to change?

Jakks RA Figures has less articulation than Mattel’s Basics (Jakks didn’t have boot cuts/swivels) and they didn’t have decos on the backs of most figures. If Bill is only given a certain amount of money for the basic budget then things will get cut to keep production under budget. If cutting ankle articulation keeps the basics within their production budget then I would rather have full details over ankle articulation. |

I dont mind the arms or Ankle changes if I like the figure I'm still gonna buy it and for some reason I really like that Rollins. Good buys i will definitely pick up the Seth and Finn when I see them.

My problem is the same as those guys up there. The paint apps looks like they bleed with the this shoulder/bicep style.
Also how great was it to be able to swap a goldust arm or finn balor arm to get a full sleeve look....say goodbye to that. Unless they release a perfect representation I wont be buying as there isnt a hope to fixup anymore. Thanks for killing one of the most enjoyable parts of the hobby. Fixing their billion dollar mistakes.... Like the new Nevilles dont have armbands...how hard was it to give him something so simple to complete his look? The beard and armbands were pretty much his heel signature look.

Great pickup. I just recently grabbed this 3 pack as well on the bay for less than 20 bucks. |

Glad you picked up the three pack, two months ago it finally popped up in the UK via our biggest Supermarket Tesco. I am a big fan of it except for the shonky Piper scan.

It is by far my Piper scan from Mattel or Jakks. |

The Mt Vernon Target is enclosed in a parking garage and it's right near the highway. |

Yes, I knew it was a Mt town, but I was drawing a blank on Kisco and could only think Mt Vernon. Which is funny as I have never been to Mt Vernon, but I have gone to the Mt Kisco store about 5 times since moving to Rockland County 17 years ago. I rarely ever cross the river. |
