My Elite figures were delivered yesterday. I only bought 3 of them from the Disney Store online. I got Captain Phasma, Kylo Ren, and the Flametrooper. Out of those I think Kylo Ren is my least favorite and Captain Phasma is my favorite. Kylo Ren is kind of hard to get into a good looking pose due to lack of ankle pivot and the way the hands are shaped. I managed to get him in an acceptable pose for now, but I definitely like the Black Series version better. Captain Phasma looks pretty awesome, although on my figure her cape has some red marks where it should be black, which is disappointing. She's not super poseable either, but she looks good standing tall with her gun held up at an angle. I have her on my table next to the couch and a Black Series Stormtrooper is next to her. She towers over that figure a lot. So obviously there is no mixing the two series for a cohesive display. I'm also a bit disappointed with the Flametrooper because the elbow on the right arm is facing a different direction than the other figures. This was done so he could hold his gun with 2 hands. I also don't like that his right hand is permanently attached to his gun, but I wanted him to hold the gun anyway. It still kind of sucks that there aren't really many options for display with him due to things being in fixed positions like that. Oh and when I tried to move his left elbow it stripped some of the paint at the elbow joint.
These figures would have been super awesome if they had more articulation similar to the Black Series. They looks nice, but overall they are more like statues that you can pose a little. That being said I'm still glad I bought them, although I kind of wish I had saved my money on Kylo Ren. I really like the Black Series version of him a lot more and I'm not super impressed with the Elite version. These figures feel impressive when you pick them up because of the weight. I feel like I could chuck one of these at an intruder and render him unconscious at the very least. I don't know if I'll buy any other figures in the Elite series. I may pick up some that haven't been released in the Black Series, like Grievous. I may also get a few of my favorites like Boba Fett. But I don't see myself being a completest with the Elite series.
