| Hello,
has anyone else noticed a difference in the thickness of recent spongy capes?
I noticed this with a black cape (item 19888) on the Darth Vader minifig SW1249
from last year.
The cape is noticably thinner than the one on other older Darth Vader minifigs.
I can both feel the difference and see the difference (the cape clearly lets
more light through which is a bit annoying).
I haven't noticed any such inconsistency before with these spongy capes so
I was wondering if it's an intentional change by Lego or if I just got an
unusually thin cape.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

You know... versions... as of right now...
 
Seriously, that could be the usual variation of LEGO manufacturing quality depending
year, location, availability and price of supplies...
But I can't tell about this specific part.
I'm not a huge Harry Potter specialist.
