I think the "feet" are the 1x2 plate with click-hinge like in the B-Wing set
(you get tan ones with that). I think the "legs" are new parts that
interface with the click-hinges.

The hoses look like they might be new. Aren't those the same wheels from the

"sealable"

I think the plates on the front of the hips are new also, but I may be
