I love Squid Head and all the different cape colours be it variant or degradation. Only have the 1 mind which I'll try and post soon
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.

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

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.Mini99 said:

Thanks both. And that's a lovely 2-pack, Andy.
A perfect loose example, Nick. Thanks for sharingMini99 said:
What a lovely pair of figures. The Lili Ledy one is especially nice to see, so thanks for sharingDr_Ball_MD said:

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

Think it's the camera, just been to check and they are the correct colour

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 :?
