- Chris- cool lot of capes. The vinyl should flatten out well with boiling water
Thanks aussiejames I did not know that trick for the vinyl. I usually put them inside a thick book and then place the book under something heavy for a week and wait it out. I may have a few extra Leia Ponchos , a Pruneface cloak, and a few extra items if anyone needs them let me know. |

| Also ironing works very well.
Just make sure you place a thick towel on the top of the cape.
They come out like new. |

| Good stuff Beanie. Those vinyl capes should come out good after running them in hot water. Dan.

| I usually use a mild soap detergent.Like dish was soap and medium hot water to clean and smooth out my vinyl capes. i smear the soap on the cape on a flat surface"kitchen counter top"and then put some hot water on it. It helps the vinyl cape stick flat to the counter top.That way you can slowly work any dirt or other crap that is usually on these capes. Also dipping the cape under hot water for about 10 to 20 seconds will really make it smooth and flexible. It's a little time consuming process of dipping and smearing,but the end result is well worth it. I think this will help you out beanie. Dan. |

| As always some outstanding additions guys!!
Del the figures in those baggies look in ridiculously fine condition thank god they went to a baggie collector and not someone who would consider what U Grade they could achieve as they look like potential 90 figures! |

| Cheers mate. Nothing else took my fancy and the baggies are addictive so i thought i'd go all out for them lol.
I don't pick up many now, but sometimes you just can't turn down a good offer. |

| Awesome work Tony! Those are some FINE additions mate! It looks like you are starting off on an excellent foot. I think there's a whole ton of Tri-Logo variations for the AT-ST Driver. If I'm not mistaken, I think there's an illusive Macau variant out there. |
