Did we ever hear if E45 Regal's boots were gonna be fixed?

I looked for a picture to see if this was the case, but couldn't find any proof. But even if that is true, and I have no reason to think you'd make it up: it still looks HORRIBLE. It doesn't look like socks folded over the boots. It looks like someone smeared white paint on the top of his boots. If it were socks folded over, you wouldn't be able to see the top-most cross of the shoelaces. I realize this is a budgetary matter to not make a new mold, but if you're so worried about the budget, why toss on another layer of paint that makes the figure inherently worse?

Looks even worse in hand.

Stuff like this is why I cut back A LOT on the WWE mattel line in favor of higher end stuff. sometimes you get what you pay for

You're most definitely correct in that he did fold his socks, but...if the first run was just a paint botch and the sock line is supposed to be behind the boot tongue, then yes...no harm, no foul. But if ALL the figures are just white paint around the top? That's just silly and should be fixed.

Like others said. He wore socks over his boots just like that. I think it's a cool little detail.

The boots are cast in the maroon color correct? Turn them sum bitches upside down and use a q-tip with acetone and clean it off. Then all you have to do is get a small brush/tooth pick and paint a couple of the laces white again.

Can't you sand them down a little bit then paint them white again to get it to look the most like a sock?

With Dave Taylor as the Blue Bloods. He was probably mocking The Public Enemy.

Same here.

The figure's boots look horrible. They might as well not have even bothered to paint the socks at all if they were going to look this terrible. How that ever passed the prototype stage is beyond me.
