Hi Grid, much would depend on what you wanted to do with it. The more traditional methods these days would probly be to make it a conforming figure with ERC channels, but many prop base capes exist with morphs to help shape them. I am partial to using a prop cape, parent it to the neck or chest of the figure, and then use magnets on the cape to pose it. I can get a much great range of poses this way than with morphs alone or by making it a conforming figure. If I were going to make it a figure, I would set it up with body groups only for the neck and/or chest and conform that part to the figure. The other body parts for the cape would be non traditional groups, and I would use a combination of ERC and morphs for shaping and posing. Hope that helps.
