>>8624412This is a pretty good example. Since he doesn't have a calf swivel, most low, crouching stances usually end up with one knee cocked awkwardly inwards and his ankle broken (or at least very badly twisted).
Maybe they didn't want to break up the sculpt on the calf, but I would have been fine with it, it already looks very colorblocked and it wouldn't have even looked that bad with the black and white offset to the left or right a little. They could have put the cut right below the lowest strap on his shin.
