Looking at E46 Cenas elbows just looks awful.
The last few Basic Rollins also feel so cheap & light. While I understand possibly doing this to basics, but why elites?

I don't hate the look but the new joints make customizing a lot harder.

No, visible pegs have been exchanged for pointy elbows. In my opinion, I like it better because when paint apps go over the visible peg joints, it either doesn't get painted and it stands out or it gets painted, but breaks up the design with a certain amount of movement, like the Hart Foundation's stripes go down the entire leg, and the lines on the pegs are tilted diagonally, where the rest is straight down.
I'm sure one day they'll make seamless articulation(somewhere between BCA and Stretch Armstrong), but I'll probably be dead by then, so I'm cool with the innovation.

Just curious, what was the first Elite set they did this with? Is it 46?

They look stupid. The elbows nearly look like a weapon of some sort. Stuff like this, qc, painted torsos etc is why I'm collecting less and less. I hope they take our feedback and stop cheapening out.

I was gonna pick up the Summerslam BP Cena/Brock, every one I found the Cena armband was painted crappily & just looked cheap like dollar store figures....I'll buy elites with these, but no more basics. The b61/63 Rollins kick pads just like spin on his leg.

I really have no opinion of them, honestly. They're not different enough for me to care. I wish they would use a round peg for the elbow so you'd get that extra lateral articulation if they were going to change it..

I do think that the pointy elbows and knees look horribly unrealistic...but I don't play with my toys, so I'm not sure it'll really matter in the long run.

so no more customs or just harder to pull off the pin inside!? u would think mattel would not do this, if they want us to buy their shelf warmers for customs.

Yeah. Bring on the huge round circles in their arms. Much more realistic looking.

I don't have a problem with this, since I only collect MOC, but I'd absolutely hate it if I played with them.
