it really does look lacking without the painted knee pads. especially when you've seen pictures of them painted.

I'm totally for not giving Hasbro a pass, but this might be a case of mixed signals from fans.
I've seen many, including myself that dislike the "neon" and the late 80s early 90s paint apps that went into the figures. The Python Patrol figures were almost a gateway into that realm. I think Hasbro attempted, this is speculation of course, to dull down that neon color scheme in the picture and go for a little something more real. I wanted the knee pads painted, that part blows, but I like the muted color scheme and smaller cobra logo rather than the larger cobra concert shirt. Having a fixed crotch is nice too, though. Hopefully this will be applied to all the standard troopers and officers now. If they could fix the arms, make them more versatile like the Crimson Guard's arms, that would be great and i think we would be on the verge of a definitive Cobra Trooper mold. I wish Hasbro would sell a "box o' fixed crotches" so we could repair our current blue shirt armies. Sell them all niche like on their web site. Fanboy dream there, but it would be nice. Quick note: I will say that the arms do feel a bit more "flexible" on this mold. So I wonder if the joints range of motion has been improved too? Curious...
