So every figure I have from E17-19 has a new hip joint. its 1 pieces instead of the extra ball sleeve. all these figures have amazing playability. Kane can do a full split. I was very happy with this. Now That I got Cactus and E20 Jericho, they are back to the old sticky hips. They aren't stuck, they move pretty good, but it still worries me that I could get another statue in the future.

Not all of them. Punk and Bryan both have the old hips as well. Not sure about Cactus as his shirt prevents his legs from fully splitting to see. But from what I can tell it's just the guys with those same hips mold.(Jericho, Punk, Bryan)

RIP Elite 7 edge ; ; Im still trying to repair him, need a new drill bit. My cactus can do a spit,and I can see the sleeve thing on the ball and theres a hell of a click to get him to kick, it feels like its gonna break if I just try to use my thumb, then it clicks up, Im gonna soak him in hot water I think. I'd guess they have preassembled crothes, ziggler doesnt have the sleeve but hes got a different skin tone. |

I'd like to see Mattel completely phase out the old design.
Christian is another recent figure with the old hips.

One of the few things Mattel does that I hate (hip joints). |

Does Brock Lesnar have the new hips? I'd love to be able to pop off his legs and add some thinner legs that don't look as weird under track pants. I bought an extra Elite 19 Lesnar and did a hand switch and put track pants on him as a "street gear" Lesnar, but the MMA shorts mold is so bulky you can see it poking through the pants. I don't want to ruin the figure by sanding it down.
Who else has legs that have the new hips that will make Lesnar still be the correct height?
Thanks.

Those new hip joints go all the way back to E10... I wish they could have kept doing them permanently.

Yeah it sucks how Punk, Jericho and Dbry still suffer from these old hip joints that suck so bad. E20 Christian has them but his legs move very well for me at least. Its always Jericho, Punk and Bryan that I have trouble with. I don't play with my figures..but I just hate the fact that I can't move their legs. I somewhat fixed my e16 and e20 Punks where his legs only can move outward they won't go to the sides though. Morrison was one I had trouble with too but I sold him off.

Yes it does suck as I picked up an extra E20 Punk when I got mine so I could do a leg swap with the e20 Rhodes only to be denied when I opened the figure to do the swap. lol

That sucks a lot PJ. Do you have an old elite 3 Rhodes..I can't remember if his hips sucked or not. And I was really worried Ryback was going to have the old hip joint but mine moves well so that was a big relief.

I sure hope they change the design in that mold soon so I can give the E20 Rhodes the smaller thighs. |

Brock does have the new mold, not sure who could get Brock the right height. |

Without having it in hand, would Ezekiel Jackson work? That's bound to be the new ball joint, and is to scale with that torso. It'll look funny as hell without the track pants. |

It would look hilarious with Brock having black legs. Unfortunately, I do not have a spare Elite Zeke. Somebody above said that Elite 8 Sheamus had the ball joint hips, and sure enough they do. I ran them under hot water for a minute, and sure enough they popped right off. The height is good, and now the track pants don't look weird with the MMA shorts mold pointing out. Now, if only Mattel made a cloth shirt for Brock. I really don't like the rubber one. |

Ialso wanna say my E19 Ziggler and Liz didn't have them either. I know for sure my E19 Ziggler didn't have them I just don't remember if Liz did, but I'm pretty sure she didn't. Those new hip joints go all the way back to E10... I wish they could have kept doing them permanently. I believe t goes back farther than E10. I know DM Taker has the so called new hip joint and I wanna say I had someone in E4 that had that joint too. I wish they would just change everything over to that style joint it sure would make customs a whole lot easier lol |
