I think the Elite figures look good except for the screws, but then the lack of pose knocks 'em down for me. I've also always had issues with die-cast figures getting insanely loose because they're metal, so when the weather shifts majorly from season to season it gets to be a problem if you want to change how you display them. I also don't care for how some of the Elite figures pose joints look, like when the Stormtrooper bends his knee it just looks anatomically wrong, it doesn't ruin the figure at all but it looks off. Mainly though it's pose that makes my decision here. The fact that you can't make the Elite Stormtrooper hold its blaster with both hands at all is kind of a bummer since that's like the thing Stormtroopers are always doing, most of the other figures have enough pose to get into a good look but the trooper is denied its typical stance. I also feel like some characters just won't work in the Elite series with its metal, like Chewbacca whose fur would probably look really strange, whereas the Black series can pull off almost any texture/material since it's a mix of plastic and soft-goods.
