The down side is of course the look on the figure. I think what would be perfect is softer plastics that allowed some levels of movement but were not quite as big an issue as these we have gotten the past few years. But it appears no one is trying that at this point.

the thing that would bother me about the plastic jackets is that the ones I remember easily ripped and tore so I just don't know about those and they just seemed cheap...maybe a vinyl cloth composite with a cloth lining but then that would definitely add to the price. I get the thing about the molded on jackets your limited to that look so it has to be done right similar to the old danger girl major maxim great classic mcfarlane sculpted figure and the jacket sculpt looked great.
