Thanks!
I think you'll love this one.
I just need to get some weight into the cape.

Thanks!
Funny, you just posted that and I just responded that I need to tame it even better. It flares out a bit much, and its that spongey material that doesn't allow water treatment to work to well. I'm thinking of adding some pennies to help it fall straight. This cape rides off the ground so it should work.
Nice pics. You’re really into this one.
I can’t wait to get it. I also think the stock cape is flared out too much and needs to be tamed – probably the only real negative thing with this release. And the belt boxes not being adjustable.. but both of these are easy remedies.
The penny idea sounds promising. Looking forward to how it turns out. They really should've kept the material from the ANH cape and just made it the same length as this one. It's pretty heavy, maybe just a little too thick
I really don't like that spongey feeling material. If I were to get a WL conversion, I'd still like to try out the more recent Sideshow cape and inner robe on this. I think it would look quite nice especially since it's a pretty deep black material.

I don't even remember the ANH cape now, but I know I swapped it for an RO cape long ago. The RO cape was a very nice material and hung just off the floor but had weight to it.
This new ROTJ cape feels nice, and looks nice, but is water resistant and doesn't create as many folds as I would like. Weight will help it hang better, but nothing will get the many folds you need to really create Vader's cape.
Has anyone figured out exactly why the HT ROTJ mask is better than the HT ESB mask? I figured by now there would be some nice comparison pictures to explain the differences.
But you know, if you want something done...

Lots of little tweaks. The correct paint tone does a lot of work, as does the SLIGHTLY smaller mouth triangle/noseplug section. Most of it is the shape of and around the eyes, cheeks and angling of his facial structure.

I was just messing with you
Ahh I’ve never had the RO cape but sounds like an upgrade.
Here’s a not so great pic I took of my ANH figure/cape. It’s definitely too long but has a nice weight as well. Might be a little too thick since it’s two ply but it still dig it.
I wonder if you(anyone) were to really soak it or even hand wash it, would that potentially help loosen up the fibers at all?

Yeah, the ANH was a nice material, same as RO I believe, but the ANH cut was too long. I may have made an adjustment on my RO cape to get it to the perfect length.
The ESB cape is just a tad too long -- long enough that it touches the floor too much and adding pennies for weight won't work.
My RO cape and this new cape are both just off the floor, so easier to shape and, in ROTJ's case, easier to add weight.
I don't think any amount of soaking will change the fabric. It feels nice -- not "spongey" in the way Lando's cape was -- but its still thick enough to 'bounce back' to its shape so you can't create lots of folds.
I have my 3x Vaders out -- ANH, ESB and ROTJ -- now in a photo session, so many questions will be answered later tonight... stay tuned...
I thought you guys were joking, but it's actually really there! I can't believe I finally have an Attack of the Clones Vader in my collection! Thats a rare one indeed! 
nice! looking forward to it

So HT didn't fix it on the regular release...?
Would have made those few packs in the first batch very valuable one day.
OK, so lets start with the CAPES...
I think people will be surprised, but the ROTJ cape is the worst of the OT Vaders capes.
[NOTE: my ANH has the RO cape]
ANH rolls the way its supposed to.
ESB is similar if not the same material but its too long.
ROTJ just has no shape -- you can push folds into it, and a few will stay, but that's it.

Ouch, not kidding with the lack of folds. Is the ESB a decent cape?
