So today, while moving figures around, I saw that My custom Trickster, which used the FTC Devil Cape,
(from the monsters series 2 line)
had some black bits laying flaking on the cape. Seems that whatever material they used to make this cape seem "leathery"
(looks like a very cheap thin vinyl over a cloth cape) doesn't hold up and it starts to flake and peel off the cape.
I know because of a few cold days I've been running the heater more so maybe that had something to do it.
Nevertheless, I essentially went ahead and stripped off this stuff because (1) it shrunk in spots, thus leaving holes where it
peeled away, and (2), the cloth cape looks better without it IMHO.
Just posting for others who may have this cape / figure in their collection, who might want to check it.
