I recently got B60? Rollins, & he has the new legs, I feel like they are so cheaply made & light. I saw the Cena/Brock 2 pk at Target, initially was gonna pick it up, but was looking at the arms on Cena & they looked just like cheap dollar store plastic. I really hope they don't start using these joints on elites. What's everybody else's opinions? On the other hand, I grabbed Enzo & Cass & they're legs both had the newer joints & seemed fine

Problem I ran into was I used b63 Sid for a headswap onto the elite 39. I wanted to use the body for a 90s WCW Lex. I couldnt swap smaller calves. He had medium boots and calf over lap

Honestly, I wouldn't mind them on figures with detail where the joint would be, but them just giving them to random basics is weird. Either do the detail thing, do it to the basics, or do it to none. They also shouldn't use them on legs where the figure has kneepads.

when i 1st saw the arms on BP Vince that just came out , it reminds me of gi joe arms.. its doesnt look right on a 6inch figure in my assumption.

I only have one figure with them so far. So I'm undecided. But it seems weird to change them this far into the line. I assume it has to do with budget reasons.

The old style are stuck in the crotch piece and have to be cracked to swap the full leg. The old style also seems to break easier as the ratchet gets stuck. Nee legs and forearms cant be swapped like they used to. They might be compatible with each other, but not the normal style.

They probably did all this because Mattel was tired of seeing people make better custom figures than what they are releasing.

TheChamp420 doesnt really matter to me. it looks better without the holes. the problem is just you cant customize them but im done with that anyways. i keep the basics as they are. East Coast Professor Sparlin ball jointed hips are the kind you can heat up and pull out, like HHH, barrett , sting etc lno swivel East Coast no different in the wrist jcz15 its cheaper for them that way. bill said mattel wanted him to lose articulation points to cut cost so he came up with a new method. they couldnt care less about customizing
