I agree capes are difficult, although when you have so many Leia figures like I have it does make it a lot easier to spot a repro !! :wink:

I still have problems with the standard sabers for Luke, Ben and Vader. :oops:

I believe that is the only site regarding repro weapons !! :lol:

Goddamit, I was hoping for a link to one that showed capes! There's guidance out there for those of us looking for VC Jawas, but not a lot else.

With the original sabres, all you can go on is the "scratch test" and the feel of the plastic.

with the capes does it matter which side makes the zip asa my darth and lando are outside but bens is inside
As far as I can remember it doesn't matter as I suppose it depends how it was put on the figure during production.

when you run your nail down it makes a zip noise on one side(this is what i got told)

Does this work with ALL capes? Would it work with Hoth Trooper Skirts?

i have a hoth trooper and the skirt does it ,but you can actualy see the texture on one side of the cape where with my ben ,lando,s and darths both sides look the same .its only when i run my nail i get a zip sound of one side
does any one know if your meant to see the texture on the hoth skirts,i think its a repro anyway as it just doesnt look,feel 30 years old

Jabba there's a good chance they're real, especially if they are dark blue. The later weapons started looking very good.
