MMCB Custom Minifig Cloth Accessories

MMCB produces hand-crafted LEGO figure cloth accessories that we need, but TLG doens't produce. The capes can be printed with various patterns in different colours, or you could just have them plain. There are pauldrons, weapon holsters, trenchcoats, tunics, ponchos and lots more: all customisable to suit your needs.

The owner of the site gets lots of orders (as you could expect) and sometimes you have to wait for a few weeks for him to clear the limit of 30 orders, send them, and restock his inventory. He lives in Australia and shipping is $3 to all the places he delivers to.

Recently I purchased some of these items. They are very cheap for what they are and are superb quality! However, they are not for more than medium play, but as TFOLs/AFOLs I think we won't need to worry about that. Unless you have kids, in which case beware!

They come packed very nicely in a thin box about the size of a CD case.

The capes themselves are in baggies...

Cape, plain white - $1.50

This is almost identical to LEGO's, but the texture is halfway inbetween the classic cloth and the new 'crisp' style.

Obi-Wan looks pretty good in it I think!

Trenchcoat (Style 2, black) - $1.50

A simply awesome idea made in the most professional way. The cloth is foldable, so you can have the collars up or down. The legs are easy to move, the arms a little harder. Here is the Clark Kent a.k.a The Blur from Smallville testing out his new costume.

Reference picture:

Trenchcoat (Style 1, with slit, black) - $1.50

Same as above, except it has a slit at the back. It works just as well, if not a little better due to more manouvreability of the legs. This time we have one of Clark's arch enemies, General Zod (left).

Overall, I would give these products 95%. The only small issues are the stiff arms and maybe the folding of the trenchcoat collars. Apart from that, I highly recommend these!

Thanks for reading, and I hope this was helpful.

Nice review, Jammiedodger714. Thanks for sharing.

I'll move it to the MCW, where it belongs

I would just like to make a small correction to the review if I may.

Trenchcoat Style 1 has the slit in the back.

Trenchcoat Style 2 has NO slit.

Other than that, thanks for the great review. I'm happy that you like my accessories and have put them to some great uses.

Just so happens I might be on the market for some body wear, having looked at these amazing examples. I would make them myself, but it would be a lot better to have them made in cloth (which I don't have access to, and I'm not so good with).

I get orders from all over the world. The highest amount are from the USA, closely followed by the UK.

Thanks guys!

@ mmcb: No problem! They're worth the review! I made that change as well.

Very nice review Jammie, thanks for sharing. The trenchcoats are really interesting and I might have to pick up some as they look very useful in MOCs.
