I think a big problem (beyond the poorly fitting hat) is the ruffled folds that are molded onto the new version. Usually this looks pretty good with other characters, but if you look at the reference photos, you will see that those uniforms don't have that many wrinkles. These new ones are pretty sloppy looking, especially the trousers. The vintage figure has a much more realistic look to it, and I passed on both of these recent versions because they just look awful to me. I'd rather they start from scratch if they put one on a vintage card, with a more pressed uniform, molded-on hat, and an actual African-American headsculpt instead of one in blackface...
