LOL. Great minds must think alike! That was exactly my rationale, also. I'm going to buy a single hat and pay $8 bucks to ship it? Lemme look around their site and see what else I might be able to use. And then, by the time I was getting ready to finalize the order, I was doing the whole -$5-an-item-logic-thing That was the same EXACT dialog, that I had going on in my head. Funny as hell!

The stuff, that I ordered from Wrestlingsuperstore.com, arrived today. The garbage cans are awesome, with removable lids. The barbed-wire bat is ok, but the handle is a little warped. So, I have to heat that up and see if I can straighten it out. The red cap is a little too translucent of red plastic, bit it fits my custom Trump great! Unfortunately, the black fedora is about twice as big as it needs to be, so it's huge on Spider-Man Noir's head. The top hat is way too big for 6" or 1:12th scale figures too. I'll have to see if I can find someone to cast it and use the shrink technique, on it, to make a smaller cast.

Anyone have any experience making cloth capes? Trying to make one for Moff Gideon and having a hell of a time trying to figure out what shape it should be to sit right. I've looked at tutorials, and templates for superhero capes, and everything I've cut out doesn't work. I've all but given up, and I'm going to just go with a modified Krennic cape, but I don't like it.

Did you just end up dying Krennic's cape?

Right now I just have a trimmed down Krennic cloak from the Black Series. Will probably post it this weekend, but continue to mess around with fabric. It's just the way his cape runs across he back but then drapes over his shoulders that is a pain. A simple Superman cape is easy, but the form for this has been somewhat of an issue, though I think I may have an idea by looking at the TLJ Luke cloak. We'll see.

Need opinions, do these arms look too masculine? I'm thinking of sanding down the ball shoulders. Thoughts?
