I think I like the cloth cape better.

Cloth. The vinyl ties his head back into the old Obi too much. The cloth cape left no doubt that the fig was Dooku.

And I sort of envision Kenner as giving Dooku special treatment anyway; like they did Jedi Luke. :P

This is a really cool concept and a very nice mix of parts, Phruby. As to the belt making him look fat... it's not like he had the physique of an Olympian God, so I think a little girth works here.

Ya i like the cloth cape better too, the vinyl looks too much like a robe as opposed to a cape.  :-X

The Vintage Dooku looks awesome Paul! I agree with leaving the cloth cape on.
I remember my dream now.

how about the Luke Jedi ROTJ cloth cape Phruby? its about the right color too, a dark brownish color similar to a Dooku color but still vintage  :)

That would work except I think I would have to cut the hood. I'm glad you guys like it. I was a little afraid it wasn't going to look very good especially after I cracked the torso. I had to hide the damage with a little sculpty.

How did I miss that Kanos? ???

Kanos- Version 3 is my favorite yet. I really like how you managed to get the armor gloosy but the body suit still has a matte finish. I don't have any suggestions for the figure itself but I think that the weapon could be extended a little bit, it seems to be a tad short.

Dooku- Very nicely done! I think the belt look ok, it maybe is a tad to wide (from the crotch to the chest) but it really isn't that noticeable. I was going to suggest that you try an vinal cape when I read this earlier but now that you've shown a picture of him with it, I too say stay with cloth. I like Ripley's suggestion of the vintage Luke cape, but the more I look at the modern Dooku cape, the more it grows on me. I think it would be cool if you made him a saber, vintage style of course. :)

Dooku!  A character that in my opinion is a great link to the OT in the manner of the character and the actor they chose, and an excellent idea for a vintage styled figure.  Damn good idea and perfectly executed.  And I say go with the cloth cape - it's a perfect match I think.

 :P

Man, I'm mad that i missed this yesterday Phruby!!

Great dooku.  I have to agree that the vintage cape is less convincing than the cloth, and i'm not a soft good person...

I think a darker cape would be better.
Maybe that's why the vinyl one doenst work. The color is too obi wan.
Go get a binder from walmart/staples/office depot and cut the vinyl off of that. I'm sure a dark one would do the trick.


P.S.  i'll try to make the saber mold this weekend...  HO HO HO!

That is one great vintage looking Dooku M_P the cape aroungd the shoulders makes it that much mor older looking but in a 70's sought of way.

This is a custom I've been wanting to do for a very long time. When I say Jango Fett had a flame thrower on his gauntlet, it reminded me of the vintage Boba Fett cardback. I've tried to make it as close as possible to the original cardback.
