There's nothing to fix. He wore his socks folded over the top of his boots for a period.

But even if that is true, and I have no reason to think you'd make it up: it still looks HORRIBLE. It doesn't look like socks folded over the boots. It looks like someone smeared white paint on the top of his boots. If it were socks folded over, you wouldn't be able to see the top-most cross of the shoelaces. I realize this is a budgetary matter to not make a new mold, but if you're so worried about the budget, why toss on another layer of paint that makes the figure inherently worse?

I have a couple of pairs of Nikolai Volkoff boots ready to go, I don't mind my Regals won't have socks because they'll still look better than the retail boots. The Volkoff boots are closer to the correct colour anyway.

You're most definitely correct in that he did fold his socks, but...if the first run was just a paint botch and the sock line is supposed to be behind the boot tongue, then yes...no harm, no foul. But if ALL the figures are just white paint around the top? That's just silly and should be fixed.

Like others said. He wore socks over his boots just like that. I think it's a cool little detail.

Here's proof of the sock folds. It looks weird, but it is intentional and not a botch, although it could've been executed better it's not gonna stop me from buying it.

The boots are cast in the maroon color correct? Turn them sum bitches upside down and use a q-tip with acetone and clean it off. Then all you have to do is get a small brush/tooth pick and paint a couple of the laces white again.

Can't you sand them down a little bit then paint them white again to get it to look the most like a sock?

How could you tell the socks are pulled over the boots? Just looks like he's wearing socks the regular way to me.

They might as well not have even bothered to paint the socks at all if they were going to look this terrible. How that ever passed the prototype stage is beyond me.
