This is kind of dumb and nit-picky. But I'm becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the newer HT packaging. I might be spoiled because my first's were DX's, but I don't like the 'window' style boxes, just seems cheap, or like a standard import toy.

Either you're leaving the figure in the box in which case you have the slip cover on it or you're taking the figure out entirely. I think they just do it due to the stereotype of having these collectible figures having a window like that.

I couldn't really care less what the boxes look like. If I had the extra room I might display them, but right now all I do is take the figure out, then stick the box back in the shipper and store it away. A few boxes are unique, like TDW Thor and Chris Reeve Superman, but most are generic.

Speaking of the figure though, so glad this Cap turned out great. Exactly what Stealth Cap should've been.
 
Wow, he turned out nice. Could be a bit more muscular, but again, it still looks sweet. And yes, they really did mess up Stealth Cap. I'm so happy this turned out good that I'm thinking of ordering now and not even waiting for the code just so I can have him on order. But I'm not that crazy yet. Good job Hot Toys!

I still don't get why you would even bother buying a figure you won't even pull out of the box. Unless you just want to make money on it or are buying a spare.
I like opening my stuff and futzing around with them to get just the right pose. And having them on display together is what makes it worth it for me. I have them in my little studio room so when I'm working on projects I can just kick back and admire the craftsmanship from time to time.
 
Looks like the red on the suit was darkened up a bit compared to the proto. Matches the movie color better.
 
It was hard but I held off on the stealth suit because of the issues it had; glad I waited for this one!
