Personally I am a fan of the hips on my E24 Ziggler. I had to buy TWO TRU WM Elite Punks because the first one had a very stiff hip that snapped when I tried to move it. Ziggler's style of hips are nice and they allow for great posing and playability still.
If there was anything I could fix with the elites it would be the torso joint. I've had too many that get super loose right out of the package.

I want hip Joints like the elite suit bodies (BAF, Vince, COO) Those have full mobility and impossible to lock up.

I prefer the new elite ball joint too like Elite 13 rhodes, pretty much every Undertaker (with the exception of E17 & SDCC) have loose legs and when posed feel as if they're going to break. I think it should be attended.

I had 4 or 5 Movie Masters Hal Jordan Green Lantern figures that snappedcpming out of the package. After I returned the first one it took 3 or 4 more to find one that didn't have a guard hip at TRU's Customer Service desk. As for WWE's the only the figures that ever broke were 2 b2 Kozlov's and a DM Macho Man. Mattel said it had to do with the sottering process they used where it leaked into the joint and were working on it. Those were the only ones that actually broke every thing else (every Legends) that had stuck hips were fixed when running them under hot water for a few minutes. I notice lots of times people here say the hip is tight but moves...then a while later they say the leg fell off. That is because the hip isn't functioning but the are rather twisting and tearing the stems.

Well, if they are assembled correctly they won't break or lock up. THey also seem to be a much more simpler design as opposed to the old style hips that had and still have mobility issues. If they designed the hips clearance like this, fat guys could actually big boot and you could get incredible sit out moves that some figured just simply cant do with the space allowed in the way the crotch piece is shaped. But I would rather have what we have than the DA style hips. *shudder*

Also it is actually easier for making customs IMO.

BAM except it can also do a split. still have rotating thighs too just like the suit bodies only the mold resembles the basic with hinges.

I literally got lost in the second sentence and couldn't recover so I'm not really sure what you're suggesting. Can anyone break it down for me?

But if we are saying "if" then that statement would work for the hips as they are now. If they are assembled correctly without the extra glue leaking into the hip joint the regular Elite hips would work fine and not break. And seriously other than the e1 Punk (which is fine after the glue snapped in the hip) I've not had this hip issue with any other "regular" Elites. Every Legends/DM figure had stiff hips, but after running them under hot water for five minutes and working the hips all are fine. Minus my first DM Macho which snapped when I tried to snap the glue like I did with the Punk without running it under water first.

I agree with the first part of your statement, but I have had/still own around 5 regular elite line figures that have stiff or stuck hips, or have twisted pegs from a previous owner where the joint was ceased.
