We all are perplexed why Hasbro was unsuccessful with soft-goods during The Vintage Collection. They just couldn't seem to get a more tailored look on the soft-goods that they chose for their action figures, yet they seemingly had no difficulty in the original vintage Kenner lineup. Big, bulky and often obtrusive is how the modern soft-goods on figures like Luke Skywalker (Lightsaber Construction) and Emperor's Royal Guard turned out and quite honestly left a lot to be desired. Thankfully there are expert customizers that do provide tailored soft-goods for these excellently sculpted action figures to remedy this situation. With great thanks to JTA reader Josh M., we have been given two samples of custom soft-goods that do wonders for Hasbro's otherwise excellent action figures. Click through to see new and improved versions of two figures from The Vintage Collection thanks to these more fitted soft-goods. There are also links to eBay where you can get these for yourself.
UPDATE: This auction has ended and the links won't work right now. We will update eBay links once they get re-listed. Sorry for the interruption.
Special thanks to JTA reader Josh M. for providing me with these samples. You can order your own (and very cheaply I might add) by clicking THIS LINK. A picture of additional soft-goods from auction is at the bottom of this gallery.
