No. I bought one from Tony Mei before shopping Jaxon. Jaxon 89 Batman capes look better in pics than my Tony Mei one looks in hand. I have considered buying a Jaxon cape as an upgrade.

That's good to know. I also happen to really love the name Jaxon.

You can also look for Unreal Customs on Facebook. They make an incredible looking wired cape.

Quoted for truth (actually I just have the Returns one but it's such a huge improvement over the stock).

The Unreal Customs cape is insane also. The poses you can make are crazy. I wonder how hard it is to get it to just drape straight though?
The HT '89 cape is impossible to pose. I like how it matches the suit, but no matter what you do there's always a part that looks wonky.
I'm not sure now which way to go -- Jaxon or Unreal. I like the option of posing, but truth is I never will. And likely I will just want the cape to drape nicely. I have my Keaton aiming his speargun, so I wonder how the Jaxon drapes over his arm?

If you could share pictures, I would love that...
I'll pull him out of the cabinet today if I get a chance for full body shots. This does show how close the cape rests on the shoulders and how it folds.
It's got a really good drape no matter what pose is done.
Not sure if you have either figure but it sort of reminds me of the capes from TLJ Kylo or Luke but thinner.

Beat me to it. Yes, great drape. Feels like a cross between leather and some kind of drape-y microfibre. Looks and feels right at this scale.

That looks insane.

Two things that drive me nuts about my Tony Mei cape are the look of the texture and the feel. It has good weight and drapes well though. He made a few different batches due to demand, and I feel like I did not end up with his best material. It looks sort of like leather from standing distance, but if you closely observe the figure, it looks like cloth. I posted a pic here and a fellow freak immediately called me out on the cape not looking the right texture. For a moment, I thought I might be displaying it inside out, but it is not. As far as touch, it feels like microfiber. So maybe you are right and it is just right for this scale. I will plan to post a pic tomorrow evening.

Mine is a Jaxon cape ... not sure how different the materials are.

I'm going to post some more shots on the Returns thread but here's that cape (also not sure that Jaxon uses the same exact material), it's not shiny or as thick as the Ren cape but it's got a bit of that same type of thing going on where it's broken apart almost. Hard to describe. Here's a closer shot.
