Anyone else notice the fact that the legs at the shins seem to bed the wrong way? Well, I looked at it and realized the shins on the boots were on the wrong sides, so I switch them and WOW did it make a huge difference. They now look the way they are supposed to, I hope MDT got this fixed on Roman Reigns. Here is a reference picture of what needs to be fixed!  Here it is fixed!  ~HOW TO FIX YOUR SHIELD FIGURE!~Heat up some water to be scolding, soak the legs in it for about 20 seconds. Now that the plastic is soft, you need to pop off the foot, grab the heel at the top, best to wedge it back foot should pop off, then just yank the boot out. You mite need to re soak the legs to do this, then replace the feet on the boots to the correct shins and put the boots where they should be. WARNING!MAKE SURE TO BE CAREFUL, you may burn your self doing this, take precautions, this is not something to mess around with! Also do not break your figure, make sure you soften the plastic enough, when in doubt, soak a little longer. If you do either of the things above, I warned you, it's your own damn fault! |

I was looking through the box and thought something looked odd on the legs. Good eye you got there!

Isn't that reference pic from "Hong Kong"?
Do the ones from RSC have the same issue?

don't really consider things needing to be switched a "minor" detail.
if it was 5 bucks then sure but elites are over 20 so they shouldn't be coming out of the factory like that.

They don't NEED to be switched, they'd just look a little off.

If you actually stand their legs up straight, it's not really noticeable.

It's not like the enjoyment of the figure rests solely on the switch, but it definitely gives it a major plus. |

I really don't get what's off about it? His left leg (on your right) is very off, even shows it in the Proto picture  As well as you can even see it on the Figure Insider video.  And here is the first image I posed with out the outlines and text.  |

I have to thank you for pointing this out, to know that when I buy him I either obsess over the small problem or actually waste time fixing it is horrible.lol

No look at the angle at the top of the boots. Yes it's a minor thing that if I had the figure and didn't see this thread wouldn't bother me. But now that I see this thread of I had the figure I would feel the need to correct it because it was brought to our attention. lol |
