I believe the reason Kenner switched to cloth-caped Jawas was because vinyl was more expensive, and thus didn't sell as well. It cost about the same as a regular-sized figure, if I recall correctly--from my source, not my preexistence--so people didn't feel they were getting their money's worth. They changed it to cloth so they could make and sell it cheaper, so that more people would buy it.
