Thanks - it's probably so they can make an '84 one later. Let's hope it's not a convention exclusive

Thanks. Gold had to go. And the rounded beard was kinda soft-looking for a foodie who usually want to eat Cobra for breakfast. I actually like the '86 vest they gave him, but wanted the '84 look.

Yes, it's hard to unsee cloth goods at times. Even the texture stands out as different from the plastic, and familiarity has to work on you until you accept it. But that was also true of the original Dusty figure. It is also true of articulated joints. I don't see them any more. I think cloth goods may be a good temporary fix in some instances, but you're right it has to be pretty subtle.

My wife bought some lights on Amazon (link below), and had no use for the filters, so I thought I would try it out for this photo shoot. It's gonna take more practice for me to get it right. You could also get some colored acetone 8.5" x 11" sheets you could tape over the lighting you have.
