I've got torso's like this in other sets.  Since I don't have any of the
soccer sets I'd have to say they are the only ones with it. I noticed
this too.. I believe it began with the new Ninjas that I really noticed
it.. don't remember getting many sets before then..

I doubt that TLG would have redesigned their minifigs in 1998 just because
they were working on an unfinalized deal with Lucasfilm, and they were
thinking about ways to create Yodas and Chewbaccas.

Party pooper!  :-(

Just remember: I've got plenty of opinions, and many of them are wrong.

It's still interesting that the new torsos appeared in a limited-release
'theme' (the soccer sets).  I don't have any of those sets handy, I wonder
if *all* the 'figs in those sets had the cross-hairs torso?

(...) Right. So the torso-mold-replacement seems to have happened between the production runs for 1998 and 1999. Right about the time the soccer sets would have been produced. Steve (26 years ago, 11-May-99, to lugnet.general)
