Body: <p>I am trying to identify the changeover dates for different minifigure leg molds. e.g. a figure from 1978 has no visible seams on the legs
  figures from the late 1980s have visible seams, but it might be earlier
  a figure from 2018 has visible seams on the outside of each leg the leg, and ©LEGO imprinted under the toe. It sees to have happened after 2012</p>
  
  <p>The legs with seams have a marginally larger hole in the base for studs, and so are easier to attach/remove to/from an attached plate than the older ones.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know when these molds changed over more accurately
