Looks sweet. Nice work! I'll try that with my other Cap, because I'm leaving that one stock.
I've considered upgrading to the CW version for the slightly better physique, but I prefer the brighter colors of this as opposed to the drab red and dingy white. Haven't decided yet.
If you're only going to have one cap the AOU is the way to go. It's as close to a "standard" Cap as we'll ever see. Perfect headsculpt, classic colors. Plus it has the magnetic shield which is awesome because every other Cap figure is a pain in the ass when it comes to arranging those "touch them and they immediately unbucke" shield straps over Cap's shield-arm.
I've seen several people say that they didn't think AOU cap could be topped and I definitely agreed. However, once I got CW cap I could really tell its the superior figure. I mean subjectively speaking if you prefer the color scheme of AOU better then most definitely get him. Especially if he's dropping to more reasonable prices.
AOU cap is still a great figure, but CW caps physique is so much better and they've really nailed the tailoring so it doesn't interfere with articulation nearly as much. If there ever was a cap that looked great in more "Action-y" Poses its the CW cap.
The biggest complaint coming out about the figure (other than opinions on the color scheme) is that the shield can be harder to get on the arm. Which is only really is only being complained about because of the brief magnet intermission we got with the AOU figure. It's not really enough to detract from the figure IMO. Especially as someone who owns all the other cap figures I kinda had the strap thing down to science
I've got both AoU and the BV CW and looking at it side by side I prefer the BV CW, weathering aside, the body proportions
on the chest are a lot better on the CW version and you can pose him in a more natural state with his arms going straight down his side.

I can see Loki talking to the figure now. "Now isn't this your natural state?"
