Yeah, the upper body on the regular CW Cap is a little bulky. However, some have said that it’s due to the sculpt having a bit short of a neck that gives that illusion, because the proportions of the BV are said to be a bit better due to the different sculpt.

I like the proportions on the AoU figure better than CW though.

My opinion, the body on CW and battling are the same. The difference is the helmeted head.
The helmeted head on Battling is bigger than the CW. It is in proportion with the body.
The CW has a narrow head, and slightly smaller.
So, to people who even have both figures, it can appear that the Battling has a better body, but in reality, it looks proportionate
cause the size of the head is in proportion with the body.

Same thing that happened to Golden Age Cap. In the beginning, everyone thought the body was just too bulky,
but in reality, the final production head shrunk in comparison to the proto pics.
The golden age head was actually smaller than the head on the TFA Cap, which is probably the smallest Cap figure.
Once you put a good HT Stever Rogers head, or an AOU helmeted head on the GA, the body looks more proportionate.

I do agree on you, the AOU's proportions are better than CW.

 

[SilverStar17]

Yep. I have a difficult time believing they’d use an entirely different body on CW BV than they would the regular one. 99% sure it’s the different sculpts that are making or breaking the proportions.

Having had all Cap figures in hand at one point, sans the CW BV, I think the AoU figure has been the best one that I’ve had and currently have. What I do like about the regular CW one is the gritted teeth faceplate. Proportions or not, having SS and AoU Cap, the gritted teeth faceplate provides a welcoming change from having the same sculpt on three figures in a row. I have Mk 46, so I have CW Cap paired with him in a separate room from AoU Cap.

The torso looks good!
The likeness is not spot on, but it's there.

That’s some harsh lighting ha

Looks nice.

For those on the fence with respect to getting this figure, take a gander at the latest John Wick pics. That sculpt was also done by Yulli and it clearly shows that she hasn't lost her touch, so I'm confident that Cap's sculpt will look great upon release.

I wish it would come with a head sculpt resembling the scene where he held off Thanos for a brief time.

I am holding out hope, but def. not a pre-ordering this. Final production will weigh whether I order this or not.

That's a bad example in my opinion because I don't think the John Wick headsculpt is amazing...more sub-par. The likeness is there, but there's something off about it...same thing with this Steve Rogers' headsculpt.

You honestly think the JW sculpt is "sub-par"?? Compared to what? Other than the beard maybe looking a bit too neat, IMO it's spot-on. Maybe we have different rating scales, because you also stated that "the likeness is there". In my world those two descriptions do not go hand-in-hand.

I'll grant you the Cap sculpt is a bit off. Given that this was the first attempt at an Evans sculpt with long, swept back hair and a full beard, having the prototype be a bit off isn't too surprising. Now that much more reference material is available for HT to draw from, hopefully it gets tweaked before release.

John Wick is definitely off.

 

[Clutch007]

I know I'm in the minority, but this is honestly one of my favorite Cap looks from the movies. It ties with his look in Civil War, I really like the Wakandan shields. I know that the suit is the same as the one in Civil War but the battle damage look works for me. I like the head sculpt too. I hope they use the slimmer body from the concept art Cap.

 

[tumbler_s]

concur that. that infinity capt, jw and have them beside yondu or even ragnarok thor, the former 2 are just not representative of the actors. should go back to the sculpting board

John Wick is definitely off.

John Wick is off. He doesn't look like Keanu to me.

Does Keanu look like Keanu to you? I know this isn't the proper thread to be having a John Wick debate, but I was compelled to dig up the comparison pics that Motuxmen posted back in July. IMO I don't think you can get much closer than this short of shrinking the actual actor to 1/6 scale.

 

[Zurdo95D]

Reiterating, I'd like a screaming/intense head sculpt from the final battle when Captain clenches Thanos's gauntlet, and also include the corresponding hands. (Dunno, but for me it's now an iconic scene.)

 

[The Brown Knight]

Had to order this Captain America for (new look obviously) that one scene where he catches the spear. One of the coolest superhero entrances ever, just have to have that look.
