Looks like more options for customizing.
Especially the calves, where previously short calves were meant for tall boots and not short ones.
Haven't tried the new ones though.

Yeah, E20 Punk has these same boots. You definitely have to make the part much softer before removing. The peg seems to go in further than with the old ones.

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. Stick it in the freezer. |

Yeah I remember first seeing them on e19 Bryan as we'll. I think the used the new mold from then on out.
But I definitely agree with op this is a great change and it makes changing the knee pads a hell of a lot easier!

Those calf pieces don't work for other boot molds. I was planning on using them for my M$M Elite fix-up then discovered the pegs are much longer and staggered. The pegs/holes on the new basic kick pad boots are different. Those are simpler like the old-style boots. Damn shame. |

Here's pics  I think you can just slice off the staggered part to make the peg straight like what i did to the normal elite calves when fitting basic boots. I'll try to find out when i have the time. |

That could work if the pegs are the same length. Alternatively, if you have a Dremel tool and some small screws, you can cut off the entire peg and replace it with a screw. It's a fix for broken pegs, but may help out in a jam. |

I've took comparison pics.  Not as straightforward as i think.. Hmm i can't imagine the screw method at the moment as i'm currently stuck in planting the hair on my current w.i.p. Does screw as peg works like a charm? |

It works great! www.figurerealm.com/viewcustomtutorial.php?id=22I've repaired several figures this way and used it on customs when the pegs are too small for the part I'm trying to swap. |
