I'm sure there are genuine Squid Head cape colour variations out there, but you are spot on Jay with regards to colour degradation. Much like the Ugnaught's blue smock, some (but only some!) of which contain dye which degrades / discolours to give us the purple smocked 'variant', with Squid Head some capes unquestionably also change colour. I have one example which is mid-change and you can tell this because it is doing so unevenly (perhaps the dye used in the cloth was itself unevenly distributed?). It's the second one from the right below in the pictures of all 6 figures, or the middle figure in the close-up final pic. As you can see, unsurprisingly it's far easier to see the change on the back of the figures :)

Anyway, here are mine. Sadly I have no impressive Lili Ledy variant, however I do have a nice selection of different colours / shades in the figures I have got.

That's a lot of cape variations Jeremy - impressive!

I bought this off Edd many years ago on the forum, apparently it's quite a rare combination and I know of one other.

I can only offer a loose one, no MOC as I don't collect ROTJ.
This is a great under appreciated figure in my books.

I agree, the figure is another of my favourites. But the cardback art is largely disappointing so I can't bring myself to buy it either.
Exactly, that's why I have a loose one!

Great colour variations Jeremy. An orange sold for £80+ on eBay the other day. Lovely example Nick. Superb 2 pack Andy.

Thanks both. And that's a lovely 2-pack, Andy.

A fine example. Thanks for sharing :)

Is it just the photo, or are your Squid Head's eyes unusually dark?

Another Amazing collection from you, thanks for sharing it 8) wow this is the first time I have seen a mid-change cape :shock: So far I choose to believe that there are different colours of capes from the different factories and maybe even from the same factory, I am sure that they did not use the same amount of colour each time they started a new production, so I am sure some got light and others got dark on the same factory and other factories did use different colours, but I agree some can be degrades / discolours but I am not sure which ones :?
