That's a great modification for the Obi-Wan figure! Simple, but practical. My biggest personal pet peeve with action figures is limited articulation, because it's like owning a statue. Companies such as Hasbro and now NECA are doing a great job adding to the realism by having excellent articulation. Sometimes, rubber or plastic capes aren't bad, but it really depends on the particular character.

If there's something I can't get right or sew myself, I try to locate a functional piece from another figure. Most of the clothing available on classictvtoys.com is made for the 8 inch scale figures, although they do have options for the female figures. Ultimately, I've found it can be easier to make a piece yourself instead of trying to modify an existing one from a larger figure.
