Hey I just bout the elite Lost Legends Chris Jericho, awesome figure however the because the entrance jacket is plastic you can't move the arms, has anyone here modified the jacket to allow him to wear
It and gain some articulation?

I've seen people cut off the sleeves & add the sleeves from the Elite Christian jacket to it. But as far as making the existing Jacket more flexible - no it can't be done.

I'd imagine it would be hard to take the jacket off

Your best bet is to get one from Ralph's.

I loved the E20, but the jacket was a con IMO. Although I didn't have a problem with the pose, the figure should always be playable.

I didn't have a problem with the Jericho jackets on Elite 20 or the newer release, but I have done before with others. The issue is the movement needed to take the jackets off. I would estimate that a good 30-40% of my Mattel figures have come with very stiff arm/shoulder articulation on one side, often to the point where I worry that forcibly moving the arm is going to snap it off. A figure that has this issue and is wearing a jacket out of the box is always a struggle.

What if we cut the arm pit of the figures Jacket out, do you think it will give it more articulated.
