Back in February, Opb made a suggestion for updating the VSH2 Boss Models, as seen here:

Link to the updated models: https://www.skial.com/threads/vsh2-models-update.91177/
The benefits of this update, as stated both in the original post and later replies, are as follows:
1. The animations have been refined.
2. In the new models, the hitboxes have been updated to more accurately reflect the actual models.
3. A pair of fixes for Vagineer: fixed Uber textures and a fix for a bug that made parts of Zombie-Vagineer invisible.
4. In the case of the Easter Bunny, there's a lower polygon count, due to the model no longer including that of the Demoman inside the costume, which is more noticeable in lower-end systems.
However, a con, which also was the only explanation against this given by Bottiger, was that, as the models look pretty much the same, there's no point to making people redownload the models.
Even ignoring the fact that people have to redownload a map after an update, minor or not, this argument against the models update is, by far, out-weighed by the benefits of this VSH2 Boss models update. Especially due to the fact that mere looks were not the purpose of this models update.
Based on everything, I've put together what you can consider to be an appeal, of sorts, for the original suggestion's Declined status.
