This ebay seller is selling some custom cloaks which look quite cool I think (not sure why he listed this as repro though, as not likely to be confused with the vinyl original).

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VINTAGE-STAR-WARS-KENNER-ACCESSORY-OBI-WAN-KENOBI-REPRO-CLOAK-A-NEW-HOPE-STYLE/265022056229?hash=item3db48ba725%3Ag%3AqT8AAOSwJq1ZabMA&LH_BIN=1

So... As much as I'm sure we love all vintage figures equally, and just as they are, are there any figures you would have liked to have seen tweaked ... even just a little bit?
 
Just had a look and nice cape at a reasonable price, stuck it on my watch list 👍😁

Thanks for sharing 👍

I normally don't like custom stuff but I had to say I liked it . I asked the guy whether he'd do one for Anakin in the same material and he said he'd give it a go.
 
There's a better pic of it .

I will post mine when I get them in hand myself ... will let you know if they are any good. They both gave me vintage-y vibes so thought I'd try them out!
 
As for my OP, I think for me it would probably be the Emperor not having a proper cloth robe, or Luke endor's non-removable head gear.
 
I agree - don't like any of his other /earlier stuff (tbh i think a lot of it looks a bit *****), but the kenobi cape with hood stood out .

The other stuff is a bit marmite!! And I dont do marmite 🤮

Definitely the Kenobi cape for me 😁

I've also purchased the Kenobi robes. I think it''ll be a nice way to display Obi-Wan in the land speeder, sitting next to Luke.

Just ordered one 😁👍

I always had trouble getting old Ben to sit inside the land speeder with his vinyl cap - this'll be a nice alternative. I'm quite looking forward to receiving it now.

It is a bit of a bugger to get him in 🤣 I messaged the seller and he kindly listed a cape for me to buy 👍😁

I'd be up for one of those 🤩🤩
 
Mine arrived today . Photo in poor light, but I think they look decent for a couple of quid - a good alternative look for vintage figures if displaying in diaramas , playsets or vehicles .

Bloody hell they were quick!!

It actually arrived yesterday - but only picked up my mail this morning! Think I ordered mine on weds.

Nice one 👍😁 looking forward to getting mine 😁
 
Those do look really good, well made too. Would be perfect for sitting Vader in his Tie fighter or obi in his land speeder without running the risk of damaging the original capes.
 
Yeah I think they're good - especially if you've got a Cape-less figure knocking about already . Breathe some new life into them for display purposes. It looks right in the landspeeder especially!
 
He does look right at home 😁

Hoping to get one for Anakin if the seller can make one 😁👍

[mention]jayums[/mention] did the seller get back to you ??
