Also, I agree with SBartek. Removable kneepads seem pointless.

I especially hated it when they put the removable kneepads on the 30th Lifeline which got in the way of them printing RESCUE on pant leg.

Yeah, I just got my own a week or so ago, and that was the first thing to jump out at me. Its an otherwise excellent figure though. Especially the accessories.

I prefer the clasps on Joy Toy's vests, belts, etc. They provide a more secure fit.

I don't like fussy figures. "Fiddly" as I saw Steevy Max once call them, and that's the perfect term.
I don't like all kinds of floating doo dads and boo bobs, I ALSO don't especially need so much articulation that the thing moves like a noodle which means legs end up twisted wonky and feet are spun backwards and the damn drop down hips, jeez its bad on Lady Jaye because you have to readjust her legs every time you bend her to a sitting pose and then straight back out, her legs end up turned outwards. The best thing is when you can bend and flex them with one hand, and straighten them back out, and everyone goes back as it should. I try this on every figure, sometimes it works sometimes not. That O-Ring 2002 Snake Eyes actually had all the POA I really need. They just added swivel wrists and up-and-down hinge to his ankles, that alone resolved tons of posing issues for figures. Now I have some s%@& to say about VESTS too! I don't like them so much. Simple comparison, Classified Duke and Flint. One has a vest and one not. One feels like a brick cause he can't really bend, one feels fluid and limber and bendable (relatively) Actually the most fluid, bendable figure so far for me has been Wave 1 Snake Eyes. He feels and moves the best in my hand. There is a beautiful feeling, flex him at the waist with one hand, it kind of mimics the O-Ring flex, because of that waist ball-joint. Like butter baby! This is my favorite joint, when it works well. Forget the drop down hips though.

the classified line they should be removable. the 3.75 and 4 inch lines it depends. Princess Leia in her Endor outfit comes to mind with her belt holster. And I always like the cloth jacket and ponchos for Han, her and Luke.

Cloth accessories are a no no for me.

That peg on Steel Brigade's vest refuses to stay put. Or maybe it's just mine...

I prefer them being separate from the body. I like how the newest retro figures are handling them, they are less bulky and interfere less with the figures ROM.
