So I went to change the knee pads on my BOPPV CM Punk like I do with all my CM Punks when I realized that the kick pad mold has been changed. I don't know if it's been discussed before but I included pics. New with all of the kick pad being on the part of the same mold: Old the the articulation before the end of the kick pad mold: There are a few benefits to this. 1. Much easier to change knee pads. 2. Swapping kick pads will be easier now as we will no longer have to include the lower legs. This also creates a taller kick pad mold for more possibilities. What are your thoughts. And is it the same case in basic figs?

I been trying to get the kickpads off my BOPPV punk but its tougher than the old ones, I feel like its gonna break. So I'm 50/50 on the new ones. Any advice?

I believe this was first discovered last year. Can't remember which figure exactly though.

I like the fact that you can just switch out the whole boot, but honestly I prefer the old ones. They have a cheap feel to it (not sure if it's different quality plastic or what) and mines has a slight gap between the lower knee and boot. The top portion of the boot looks a little thick imo compared to the lower knee as well, hopefully Mattel gives us a new thicker knee mold to cover up the gap.

I guess its good to have another option for customs. But I don't think it adds or detracts from a normal figure

Yeah I took my e20 punks boots off for a KNEEPADS switch and his feet haven't been the same since. Very loose now. I think I like the old ones much better.

Basics have had the single boot mold for awhile now. The logos look so much better now. It's funny though cause it was never an issue to me till they fixed it, and now I hate the old mold.

You're about a year old because they were first used on E19.
