Anyone get any bites for fixing the jacket? I looked at mine and it has a few cracks, but no flaking....yet. I'm sure the cracks are the first step.

you might have to commission a new jacket since the flaking is just going to get worse over time

you can go this fb page Jason and Sherron which is a customizer in leather products (it is based in Singapore though)


Other than that , u can imagine it as battle damaged??

My only thought was try to paint the exposed light colored cloth the same leather color. and go with the battle damage but
I suspect the jacket will just keep flaking whenever disturbed.

The Singapore folks have done the little jacket before?
If so is there any pics of their work?
It might be a chance to fix the length too, the statue jacket is a bit short compared to the screen costume jacket.
I wonder if you can get a new jacket on without having to break the arms.

That is my issue with all collectibles that have faux leather parts (from PFs to eFX helmets and others), you can't really do anything against it. That's the reason why I sold all of these. The solution would be to use real leather

New jacket. Geewhiz Customs

Sent them the old one to use for parts and pattern.
Real leather.
Wasn't cheap but had to be done.
Had them lengthen it slightly as the original was too short
to look correct.

Wow, that looks great. I am guessing "wasn't cheap" is a bit of an understatement....

yeah, like what the statue cost originally. LOL

But I love this statue.
I get nostalgia from it as it reminds me of the old days when premium formats were rather a deal.
