If the Jawa comes with a cape that’s too big, and a cape-less Ben Kenobi as a bonus, it’s probably a fake.

The vinyl cape Jawa is one of those figures that I am perfectly happy to never have in my collection. First of all it’s too easy to fake. Secondly, it’s too expensive if it is real. Finally, I simply prefer the look of the cloth capes.

I have a Jawa with the long vinyl cape so I guess it’s a fake. But luckily I have a super-rare Obi Wan with a cloth hooded sweatshirt. Lol.

I remember years ago when reading toy magazines said that less than 11 verified vinyl-cape jawas were known to exist. Then suddenly they're everywhere and tons of them are AFA-certified. It's like the rocket-firing Boba Fetts and the "newly-discovered boxes of perfect C-10-graded old-stock SW figures" that keep getting discovered with fairly regular frequency. It's all bullcrap.

I appreciate the video. I am still not positive if mine is real or not. The Pros: The color of the cape matches almost exactly with the Jawa, The Cape does not quite go to the bottom of the figure, The "Cross-Hatch" texture is there and can be seen with a Magnifying Glass. The Cons: It is a little loose around the arms and the back fold of the Collar is more round then the one in this video.

I got a vinyl cape jawa for one of my birthdays, but I have no idea how, because it was well after the time they were made. Of course we lived in a really small town and it’s possible the little store had backstock from the earliest runs. They had a walrus man on the peg for years that never sold. Even when Jedi was out it was always at the back of the pegs.

When you have people that do these types of things it makes it bad for the people that collect to have the types of collections they never had as a kid. Personally I have a few jawa in my collection and could care less for the vinyl caped one. Collect for the love of the toy line, not a get rich quick scheme to scam people.

Another thing with the vinyl cape Jawas is that their eyes are a little smaller. The later runs of the figure have larger yellow eyes.

Always felt the 12 backs and early birds would be an ideal time traveler's score. Valuable enough they could make a pretty penny, not too valuable to raise eyebrows, and something that could show up as a lucky warehouse case find.
