1/6 Hot Toys - MMS281 - Avengers: AoU - Captain America Collectible Figure

30 minutes walking doesn't get you nearly as far as 30 minutes in a car last time I checked haha

It wouldn't be the 30-minute trip to the theater that it would be in a car because he doesn't have one.

 

[wamphyri13]

Yeah....30 minutes is 30 minutes. Walking, driving, running, flying, rolling, skipping, suander, crawl...doesn't change. Distance traveled does.

It's like the old joke...how much does a 10lb bag of lead weigh of it replaced with 10lbs of feathers. 10lbs. Just brain teasers. Or my fav...

(You have to say it out loud for it to work...so won't look funny here but try it on someone)...what does S...I...L...K spell? What do cows drink?

Answer-

Spoiler

water...not milk. Cows make milk. Silly

I can't remember which one it is, but one does weigh more than the other because lead is measured on a different scale than feathers. I learned that many years ago in high school. Not from the school, but from my Trapper Keeper. Avoirdupois is the scale. A pound of gold weighed less than a pound of feathers.
Look it up. It's kind of interesting. But yes, the common, "naive" as it's called, answer is they are equal.
Also try these:
Say, "POTS" 5 times quickly.
What do you do at a green light?

Say, "MOST" 5 times quickly.
What do you put in the toaster?

If you said, "Stop" at the green light, you're wrong. You go.
If you said, "Toast" is what you put in the toaster, you're wrong. You put bread in and get toast out.

just to clear up any confusion, it's an approximate 30 mile round trip

this takes about 30 minutes each way in a car to get out of town, across the highway, then in to the next town and to where the theater is located

on foot or on a bike the same trip would take considerably longer

unfortunately there are no bus or shuttle services available so usually my only recourse if to find someone that wants to go to the theater with me

I used to have many theater buddies but now that we're all in our 30's it's harder to schedule a trip in which we both have the sufficient amount of free time to see a movie so I normally don't see movies til they have a home release or *ahem* other slightly more frowned upon options

Finally got this today and its amazing. It was the last piece I needed to complete my cabinet until I receive the Hulk and Hulkbuster. No fancy pose for him yet but needed the main man to go along with the avengers display and music...

A couple of crappy phone pics of my Cap.

 

[Josette]

This is the best looking Cap, IMO. Got mine a few days ago. Gonna be hard to top it.

Nothing wrong at all with those pictures. Sometimes "crappy" phone pics make for the best ones.

Fine looking set up and a fine looking figure.

Thanks brainiac

Realistically, how high should cap be able to lift his arm with the shield attached? I got mine the other day and he can't lift it super high.

Depends what the issue is.

Mine had a similar issue, to the point where I have a new one coming. If it's due to the suit being too tight, then that is normal for these figures. My stealth strike suit Cap is like that. However, my AoU had very loose joints on both of his shoulders; his right arm in particular. With the shield, I could only raise his right arm about 30 degrees. Anything beyond that, his arm would literally go limp and flop back down to the 30 degree position. Without his shield, if I tried to put his right arm at a 90 degree angle at shoulder height, it would loosely lower back down to about a 60 degree angle. His left arm was relatively loose as well, but not like the right. It was without a doubt the loosest shoulder joints I've ever experienced on any figure. I would never have been able to achieve any of the poses some of the members here have their figure in in some of their pictures.

If it's due to suit constraint, I wouldn't worry about it. If the joints are loose and the arms easily fall back down, it shouldn't be like that. I'm crossing my fingers hoping that my new/replacement one has tighter shoulder joints.

Its loose joints, exactly the same as you're describing. Damn.

Yeah, you're the only other one on here that apparently had this same issue. I asked about this a couple of weeks ago, and the majority of others reported they didn't have this issue; in fact, they said theirs were too tight, which I would rather have any day over loose joints. That being the case, I presume this isn't a common issue with the figures and that it was just the simple misfortune of receiving a defective one.

This user said and illustrated that he is able to get his at this height, no problem. Realistically, this height should really be no problem if the joints are how they are supposed to be.

 

[bonestockbrz]

Got a chance to open and inspect all my figures, and this one blew me away. It's really a spectacular figure . Anyone else have some kind of sticky residue from touching the plastic/figure ? Mine did

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Nice pics, SilverStar, congrats bonestock.

 

[Nemesis243]

Planning on ordering him tomorrow since I get paid. I think I'll be ordering him from SideShow since I got that 30 dollar off coupon.

 

[SilverStar17]

Nice pics, SilverStar, congrats bonestock.

Oh no, sorry for the confusion. The pics are actually CPTAmerica65's AoU Cap that he posted a few pages back; I was just using them as reference to illustrate how high the arms should be able to go with functioning shoulder joints. Haha.

This one is mine:

Crappy phone pic or not, these pics look very good.I think the darkness and shadow give it a real good ambience.
