I personally love the cloth capes because they essentially give you a template when you are a kid and let you make your own capes out of whatever flexible material you want.

3:58 It's kind of funny you say they were prone to ripping and fraying because of the one hole, but then both photos you show are completely unrelated. The fraying cape has 2 holes, and the "torn" cape isn't torn at all, but specifically cut to look as if it were damaged.

Having owned the Lego Loco game, the character from the mini set is supposed to represent the Stationmaster's alter ego, the Super Stationmaster - although when he appears in the game, he'd have his actual uniform rather than the full body costume he has in the polybag.

It’s somewhat worth noting that the Batman cape that came with the Batmobile and the one that came in the polybag aren’t exactly the same: the bat symbol is different.

@cutestcreeper569 Ай бұрын

The rubber capes, especially Batman's, look bad imo. Having the Batman mask and cape in one piece limits things like turning the head. I hope Lego stays doing the current fabric ones.

I'm curious now. Will you ever do a video on Lego during the early to early mid-20th Century? Going from its founding, the Great Depression, Nazi Germany's occupation of Denmark, and the early years Cold War. Also, a history of Lego bootlegs would also be an interesting topic, especially in a historical context.

There's actually two different LEGO Tim Burton Batman cowls. The original comes with 1989 Batmobile set. The newer ones use the symbol from Batman Returns, the bat motif is slightly different.

@thebestSteven Күн бұрын

My nephew took 20% of my legos from my mom's house several years ago, and of course took the most important ones. Almost all my minifigs and accessories from the 94-04 legos, consisting of a lot of 99 star wars sets, and castle sets including the dragon guy cape and the king capes. It was my goal to build my old sets and collect the ones I had missed out on, now I'm basically starting from scratch. It's really frustrating. The more I watch these videos, the more I realize how much value they had.

@Tim.Hammer Ай бұрын

Yes, there are 2 separate versions of set 2585. The cape isn't the only difference - there are two separate head prints also - one has a red hero mask, and the other doesn't. This head print was exclusive to the set, really awesome. What blows my mind is that Bricklink currently has the masked figure marked for deletion, claiming that this variation wasn't in any set. He definitely was - I have him in my collection.

Man I remember as a child I played a lot with the old castle legos and watching this makes me so nostalgic cause im just point at the screen and say "Wait I had that!!" Especially with the firebreeding fostress baseplate, I remember it so well LOL. They were hand downs from my older brother so they were all just in a box mixed together but I had so much fun

@Yoda_16358 19 күн бұрын

Best cape is homemade capes made out of those brown paper grocery bags, using packing tape on the underside to reinforce it. It is so nice and soft after being wrinkled! You can also make hoods with the same material that can go over existing hair pieces, though you can’t really use packing tape reinforcements.

My personal favorite cape is probably the one that comes with the Storm figure in the Marvel Minifigures Series 2 cause I've only ever seen capes that go on minifigure arms in customs and it reminds me of her appearence in the first Lego Marvel Game, though that one uses her Astonishing look as opposed to Minifgures Storm using her 90s outfit.

The story for the red plastic capes in 1998 is even more strange. There was a second set (the "Chess King") with an almost identical story. There you can also find pictures of both. Also the piece overall wasn't used after 1994 (93 even for red, the year of the first textile cape) and then only came back for these two limited sets sold with books? Looks to me, like selling remaining stock. The piece however made an actual comeback for the "Legends" sets in 2002 and 2003 - in blue and black.

The first time I saw a cape was a red one in a $5 space police set. I think his name was simply Squidhead. I saw two holes so I tried stretching his arms through the holes. 😂 Then, I must’ve looked at the box and realized what I was doing wrong. They went back to the one hole capes for 4+ but I think they should only do that when it suits the cape or because it’s too thick material. They shouldn’t do it to make it easier for kids. Kids gotta learn at some point just like I did.
