Now that Mando Season 2 is out, really itching to see what's coming Mando Monday and if Hasbro will re-release any TVC and Black Series stuff of X-Wing, Jedi Master Luke, Slave-I, Jabba's Palace & assorted aliens there.

With my sudden obsession with Jedi's wearing cloaks, and without coming close to securing a Jedi Luke TVC or BS, I found a website that has free PDF templates to make your own soft goods TVC sized cape and also a video. The guy made a good effort to create the template and my first attempt at making a cloak turned out not that bad.

I snagged one of these from Walgreen's earlier this year. Real cloth cape too.

I have that too.

I just need to fix a few things here and there on my first draft Jedi cloak and then buy a suitable Jedi Luke, or just use Bespin or X-Wing Luke under there. Right now 5POA Jedi Master Han Solo is wearing the cloak while I study what needs fixing.

I did watch another youtube on how to make a "T" robe for Black Series old Obi, but that one didn't have a template to print and he basically winged it and cut away any excess.

Or you can buy some life size replicas for the low low price of $8k each.

I picked up Raphael 1990 remake by Neca.

Its pretty solid. I cant wait to pick up the whole set. Its a tad stiff is my only gripe, otherwise its scary how much it looks like the original movie.

I don't know if this will fit or not but check this out.

I don't collect toys but I had a friend that owned every action figure and vehicle from the original Star Wars movies. All NIB, and pristine condition. He went or prison for 10 years for killing a dude while defending himself and when he got out his parents sold all of it without telling him.

They threw away a gold mine.

In lighter news the Black Series Dark Saber looks NICE!

Yeah, I think his collection was easily worth over $100k in today's money.

When I joined the USAF at 17, I had a footlocker full of comics that I started collecting as a kid. I said to my mom "I'll be back for these so please don't get rid of them." I had my first car and my mom said that my Nephew had gotten a hold of one and was drawing in it... I wasn't mad at him, he was a great kid.


But I did go home THAT WEEKEND, loaded them in the trunk of my car and headed back to my base.

Still have them

That looks like the upper torso of some figure. I don't trust those balljoint capes similar to Gunpla Zaku/Gouf skirts. They friggin fall off easily.

I found a Black Series Endor Luke with one black gloved hand, so after flip flopping, bought it. Seems to have the ROTJ surrender Luke look I wanted, but face not so great. I probably got there shortly after they restocked and they had left a Han and Leia. Curious what else was in that wave I missed.

Now I just have to try to upscale the cape template PDF and try again. Really looking forward to more of the Disney+ story.

Mando Monday seemed to mostly be duds each week. I would have liked a new TVC and/or Black Series reveal each week. Smart to put Slave I in Mandalorian and re-profit from the tooling cost.

i went down a rabbit hole of light sabers for sale. I really almost spent like 4 to $500 on one. The ones that aren’t officially licensed are shitting in those force fx ones but you obviously pay for it

I saw a few of those at Dragoncon a few years back. Man were they awesome!

Got Darth in today. I’m in awe of this dude, well worth the wait.
