Lamanda2 Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 Hello! I've been selling custom capes on eBay for a couple weeks now, and just got through making a couple new designs today which I have now listed. A couple designs I just did are Classic; Old Lion Knight design, as well as the crown design from Castle 375 (I think I messed up on it though, now that I look at my knight, I think the details were supposed to be light grey rather than black.. (Unless my knight is faded..) ). Anywho, I've got a pretty good selection of designs now, so I figured I'd post it over here. Capes are printed on Cottin Popplin material, and are printed on one side (The design shows through a bit to the reverse side of the cape). It's pretty durable fabric, and is the closest thing I've found to actual LEGO material. However, during play, it could fray in time (Depending on how rough the play is.). The Price is $7.00 for a set of 5 capes- Except my Dwarf capes, which are $6.00 a set (None of those listed currently, though). My eBay -- And of course, if you have any questions/comments- shoot! ~Amanda
Tarfful Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 Great capes Lamanda. I especially like the black and white Dragon Masters one and the Crusader's one. I might buy one considering they're good quality and have a very fair price. One question I have though is what are the capes entitled "Demon's Eye" and "Holy Order" from? On another note have you ever thought of doing historically accurate capes or ones from movies or books, like Lord of The rings or Monty Python and The Holy Grail. -Tarfful
Lamanda2 Posted April 17, 2008 Author Posted April 17, 2008 Thanks! The Demon's Eye and Holy Order Capes are just designs I made up myself, they aren't actually from anything. (Other than my mind, that is.) "On another note have you ever thought of doing historically accurate capes or ones from movies or books, like Lord of The rings or Monty Python and The Holy Grail." I haven't really thought of it yet, but I'm pretty much open to most things (trying to broaden my selection of capes). If somebody is looking for a particular design, PM me with a good reference picture and I'll see what I can do. I'm not making any promises, mind; but I will certainly consider some requests. If they turn out good enough they might just turn up in my inventory. ~Amanda
iamded Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 These are some great capes, Lamanda! They look really nice, and cleanly done. The skeleton one is fantastic, my favourite, along with the Dark Forestmen's one. Great job! :thumbup: ~Peace
Dragonator Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 I the look of those capes! They look to be of great quality, and the patterns are really well suited. When you say they are printed on one side, what colour is the other side, it it white? Just wondering how it looks on a mini-fig from the front... I might consider getting some of these, although I've never bought of eBay before. Do I need to register? Once again, great job, they are beautiful!
Vaders_son Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 Great design! I like the dark forestmen and the black falcons the best It's just sad that I don't have any of the older knights anymore since I rather focus on Star Wars. I the look of those capes! They look to be of great quality, and the patterns are really well suited. When you say they are printed on one side, what colour is the other side, it it white? Just wondering how it looks on a mini-fig from the front... If you click on the link and go into the details of any of Lamanda's designs you can look at a picture where a minifig is actually wearing such a rob, there's a picture from the front, too. Benny
Lamanda2 Posted April 17, 2008 Author Posted April 17, 2008 "The skeleton one is fantastic, my favourite, along with the Dark Forestmen's one. Great job!" Thank you. The Dark Forest Cape is one of my very favorites, that and the Classic Lion design. "When you say they are printed on one side, what colour is the other side, it it white? Just wondering how it looks on a mini-fig from the front..." The other side is white, but it's more like whatever color the design is on the reverse side, just really faint since it shows through. In each auction, I have taken a picture of a minifig wearing the cape (Front and Back pictures.). The front picture in this auction shows the reverse side pretty good. You do have to register on eBay to purchase anything. From what I remember it was pretty straight forward, but that was a few months back, so I can't remember to well. Any more questions, please ask. I'll get back to you as soon as possible. ~Amanda
Dragonator Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 (edited) Thanks for that, Vaders_son and Lamanda2, it is very helpful. I would very much like to get some of these! I'm goin' to go see if I can register now. EDIT: Registered, and I've purchased 5 lots of the Dragon Masters capes, two in green, two in black, and one in the white. Yes I like them a lot!

Lamanda2 Posted April 18, 2008 Author Posted April 18, 2008 Wow, thank you very much, Dragonator! I'm just packaging your order now, and will hopefully get it shipped out tomorrow for you. Thanks again! ~Amanda
Kliq Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Hey, Lamanda2! I've loved all the customs I've seen of yours on Classic-Castle, and finally I think I may be able to snag some for myself! These came along at the PERFECT time, as I was looking for capes, and these are terrific! I resigned up on PayPal just for this, so my order should arrive soon enough!
Lamanda2 Posted April 18, 2008 Author Posted April 18, 2008 Thank you for the kind words, Klig! (And for your order of capes! ) I will ship them out tomorrow! ~Amanda
Kliq Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Thank you for the kind words, Klig! (And for your order of capes! )I will ship them out tomorrow! ~Amanda Sweet! Thank you, I can't wait! And neither can those who will soon be wearing them.
iamded Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 EDIT: Registered, and I've purchased 5 lots of the Dragon Masters capes, two in green, two in black, and one in the white. Yes I like them a lot! Really? Can't wait to see them in person! Although I'm a bit confused. I only see yellow Dragon Masters capes (with blue and red dragon) and black ones (with white dragon). What are these green and white ones? ~Peace
LegoLyons Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 They look great, love the black falcons ones. Neat. EB users should get discount
Dragonator Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Really? Can't wait to see them in person! Although I'm a bit confused. I only see yellow Dragon Masters capes (with blue and red dragon) and black ones (with white dragon). What are these green and white ones? ~Peace That would be because I bought both the green and yellow ones. I am looking forward to getting them, they look great!
Kliq Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 I just got back into town today to find my capes waiting for me. They are PERFECT!! I absolutely love them. Thank you so much, Lamanda2, for a perfect transaction and truly excellent products. Oh, and thanks for the little extras, they made my day!!
Lamanda2 Posted April 24, 2008 Author Posted April 24, 2008 Glad to hear you like them, and that they arrived safely! "Oh, and thanks for the little extras, they made my day!!" You are very welcome. I try to stick a little something in most orders, when I have extras available. ~Amanda
Dragonator Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 I got mine this morning, and they are great! Thanks so much for letting us know about these. To anybody who is considering buying these, they are well worth it. Also, thanks for the extras, they are very nice and I am sure I'll find a good use for them.
