[QUOTE="TheJabbaWookie, post: 547079, member: 9217"] Hi Jeremy, a reply as promised once I’d consulted with the variant guys. According to Wolff the earliest capes don’t have the cross hatch or zipping sounds as far as he can remember from his research. My research into Leia Organa also concluded this. As the light paint apps Tusken only comes on very early 12a cards from what I recall, I would say this may well be a good sign. As for length I would not worry. From my research into cape length on Lando Calrissian cape length as well as cut and hole position and size varies from factory to factory. On top of that other mitigating factors such as water used to flatten out creases, as well as extremes of heat and temperature can cause capes to shrink. I have posted your pics up on a variant chat and no one has said repro. It certainly does not look hand cut which was the only thing one person asked me to double check with you. I personally think you’re ok but do not own a 12a light paint app Tusken to conclusively say 100% one way or other, but I understand concern if you have paid a lot for it. [/QUOTE]
