A cape is a relatively simple thing to make, but you need at least some sewing know-how to hem the edges and shit or they may fray over time (you can put bendable wire inside the hems too so that the cape will be poseable--you can then have it billowing behind him, to the side, etc.) Dyed fabric can stain plastic/resin over time, so that's another thing to be mindful of.
I think those two custom 'Giefs looks pretty sweet; I like the second, more Alpha-esque head better, with that crazy-ass expression. The little beer bottles on the bases are neat-o too. The cape doesn't look half bad just resting on the ground by his legs either.
Its the same statue, you get 3 different heads but still pricey...They want $800 for it & shipping is over $200 from Brazil. Since the Gief i got from Pop Culture Shock turned out so great, im no longer itching to have another Gief as much. I might try to see if someone is willing to do a custom head for the pop culture one. I like the crazy cartoony look of the second one too.
Anyway, I went and bought some fabric for the cloth cape last night. Might work on it this weekend if i have time.
