[QUOTE="androjonny, post: 463294, member: 4393"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_4355.JPG"]34846._xfImport[/ATTACH]Hi there, I've been going through my collection fairly recently to test and check all my weapons and accessories for fakes and came across these interesting Darth Vader capes. I iniitally wrote them all off as Repro as none of them make the zipping sound of the more common Kenner cape, but after a little online research I found they could be genuine, although I'm not 100%. Not sure if the photos are that great so I'm going to try and do my best to describe them, so here goes. Cape (1) is smooth on both sides, it feels like it should be shiny, but I guess it's more matte finish. It has a little notch, or step cut out of each side, maybe an inch from the bottom - I'm thinking it could be either the Palitoy, or Clipper or PBP cape? Cape (2) is very shiny on one side and has a very distinct texture to the other side, it to has a little notch, step cut out or each side around an inch from the bottom(not shown in photos) - Maybe its a Lily Ledy? Cape (3) is thicker then the other capes it has a more rubbery feel, the arm holes seem very perfectly round and the top seems a little wonky cut - I'm thinking this one is actually a Repro, or hopefully another Pailtoy? Anyway any help on identifying these would be great. I've also put up some photos of some lightsabers I'm trying to identify as well over in the valuation section so if anyone can help with those as well, that would be amazing. Many thanks Jon [/QUOTE]
