Hi guys!
Has there been any response from mattel, or anyone brought up the painted elbow pads that have appeared with elite akam and rsc matt hardy? Is this going to be the new thing? Yes although it makes them more playable, it just looks ugly if I'm honest from my point of view atleast as elbow pads aren't skintight, almost as though the figure isn't finished yet? Understandably it might be because it's new and I'm not used to it, however it also it sticks out against the 60 plus waves of figures that have used elbow pads. Is this going to be the thing moving forward do you think?
What do you guys think?

I'm pretty sure the ones on brother matthew are just placeholders for the real thing!

That's typically just used on the prototypes. The final figures will have elbow pads. I remember getting upset when I saw the proto pics for the EG Kurt Angle. But they fixed it by release.

It’s odd they’d do that for AoP since they have a fat guy elbow pad mold as seen on Dusty & Rikishi.

I hate painted on elbow pads ... looks so cheap and tacky.

Yikes I hadn't seen that! Can't believe they just painted it on like that. Lazy. Now if they wanted to actually mold them onto the elbow joint, I would be all over that. I love when they do it for knee pads, i.e. Kevin Owens and Samoa Joe. But this is just crappy.
