thoughts on Jawa claiming Toltoys cape

[monkey_roo]

Hey folks
Quick question - what to do folks think - fake or real - For information it is an eBay listing and the offer the seller has passed me is very tempting - I don't care for variations and what not - just that the bits are all original?

The only reference site I have found on Toltoys is here: http://theswca.com/images-forei/toltoys-esb-vcjawa.html

If that was genuine and Toltoys it would be 10-15 times the price

That was my thinking - but equally the listing was unsure only thought it could be and price of 125 (not the offer) - also for a fake it looks well aged?

The Jawa itself is not Toltoys, it's the wrong COO

I'm almost inclined to think he's cut it from a Ben cape

That's a Ben cape (

Cool - thanks

As above, looks to be a Ben cape and it should have tight armholes to be any sort of VCJ so that's always a giveaway. I also think the Oz one has a more red look to it than a Ben cape (although that could just be lighting), and most of the Jawa's I've seen with a VCJ have blue/green spots on them due to some kind of plastic degrading.

As a spaced Stormtrooper once said "move along....move along".

The outline of the cape looks pretty roughly cut.
