Would it make the sewing easier if you attached the unsewn hood to the unsewn cloak at the neck first (that way you could likely hold it and sew it in as more of a straight line as opposed to dealing with the tiny circle) then sew the back seems up at the same time as one long straight line? I hope I'm explaining my thought right... either way, Excellent and super helpful video!

There’s certainly no mistaking these from originals. I think the camo marker looks better on the inside. Maybe draw them on inside out? I would have dyed the Leia in an acrylic paint wash first.

Well done, they look great! For the belt, you could turn the cable-tie inside out, so that the serrations are on the outside and not engaging with the locking tab. Would be easier to remove and they still stay together, usually. Also, the lump would be in towards the cape and maybe less visible. Haven't tried it, but it might be an alternative way of doing it.

Looks like good material to make improved cloaks for Jedi figures. The first Plo-Kloon figure has a plastic/rubber cape which renders him unposable.

A very impressive and effective fix. The complexity of this one is surprisingly high; the amount of creativity and work that goes into a little poncho is incredible! Once again Toy Polloi has rescued some figures and really improved them. I wonder if you could add the little belt pouches to the zip ties with milliput, or perhaps even adding a couple extra zip tie connectors cut from other zip ties (maybe sanding them down a bit)? In any event it looks awesome and takes some figures from plain to wonderful. Great work as always!

I dyed it to match the color for the General Lando cape. Going to see what color toy knit fabric I have left and buy some Rit dye to match it close enough to make Luke's poncho.

Great fix, Dave! I have a question based on the Luke figure - Is it possible to swap his head with that of a Luke Skywalker (Jedi Knight) figure? I ask, because it always annoyed me that the Jedi figure is in the clothes he wears in Jabba's palace, but the Endor figure wears the correct gear for the 'Final Duel', but has a non removable helmet. Do they have the same head fixings, so that a 'boil and pop' can be attempted?
