1970's MEGO ORG RC BATMAN / BRUCE WAYNE W/ VINYL CAPE - eBay (item 300301519360 end time Mar-25-09 17:19:34 PDT) (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=300301519360)

I got a little excited till I started looking at the cape a little better. I have no vinyl cape to reference it with, but looks like the whole thing was hand cut. I'm pretty sure in picture #3, I can see where the pattern was drawn on the scallops.

Plus, this cape never came with RC Batman that I know of.

Yeah, those scallops look completely uneven and ragged. And I don't believe the RC Bats ever came with a vinyl cape either.

I'm not sure if the seller is intentionally trying to rip someone off though, as he's showing such nice clear closeup pics. Maybe he's just clueless about the issues?

The old "selling it for my cousin" is said to distract any blame from him. I think it's fake. I think this guy knows what he is doing.

Says right in the auction text that the box is repro.

That IS a fake. Vinyl Batman Capes don't have a rough surface like that one does. The 2 that I have handled in the past are smoothe. Closes thing I can compare it to is the same material that is used on the Captain Action Batman capes. Definitely a FAKE.

You can clearly see how unevenly cut the scallops are, stay away everyone

Ya know that may have been a cape and box I made a long time ago. Not sure, could be.
The chest sticker looks like one of mine as well.
I can't see the gloves if they look like they where melted to gether by hand they where mine.
