The
vinyl cape is back! As a kid, I hated them - my Jawa had a cloth cape
and my Darth Vader's cape started to split at the shoulders pretty
quickly, requiring the fabrication of a felt replacement. It's a
strange trick to add some depth to a figure that was more or less dead
by 1981, so Funko's Phantom of the Opera is one of very few
figures - along with Dracula in this line - to bring it back. It's one
of those things that I can appreciate stylistically, because if this was
a lost late-1970s figure it would have that cape. Since it isn't going
into any vehicles, I've got no problem with it - but as a child, I
can't tell you how much I disliked these.[ READ THE FULL REVIEW ]
