Cap is in the house! My movie promo version arrived today. I just started a bathroom renovation so I won't be futzing with him for a while, but just wanted to mention that I think the sculpt looks just fine in hand.

I had my doubts about the figure after watching a couple reviews but idk this headsculpt looks great in hand, as cliche as that may sound.

Mine had some paint chipped off the back of his head, so Sideshow just sent out a new headsculpt. I hope the head is easily removed.

What ever happened to Elevens aggressive expression sculpt for bearded cap?

I got mine today as well. Like a lot of these figures it looks way better in person (I didn’t take much issue with the sculpt to begin with), and I don’t get the complaints regarding the suit material.
Also the seam in the hair, while definitely an odd choice, isn’t even visible from any further than about six inches, so for me it’s a non-issue.
For what it is I think it was a bit overpriced, especially the Promo Edition, but that looks to be the way we’re heading now. But, I think it’s a great looking figure and definitely does justice to this unique version of my favorite MCU character.

This may be the best pic I've seen of this sculpt
. Ah well, if there's ever a great deal on him, I'll pick him up. Getting IW Bucky and not having Cap still feels like a big fat ANNOYING hole in my collection. Good for folks who are happy with him.

You can go Cap, no Bucky. Can’t go Bucky, no Cap, haha.
It is really a well done figure. Regardless of how one views the accuracy of the sculpt, the paint work is superb and the tailoring of the clothing is amazing. Very form fitting.

I’ve had Cap since Friday and it’s a great figure. The articulation isn’t as limited as I expected, but still limited, and the silhouette is much better than CW Cap even with the tweaks I’d done to that figure.

Yeah, that does look good. I also modified the CW cap to give bigger/slopier traps but out of the box, the IW looks good..
Ryan, your pics look good. I really like the rugged look of this version of Cap. It adds something unique to a Cap collection. Since we'll probably never get this look again this is a must have figure for me.
i don’t have a cap...and for that matter i don’t have a thor either
but both IW iterations of the two seem to be the most accessible to me at this point for each character (not trying to pay secondary market prices).
this thread might be bias but based on the fact some of you have cap or maybe both, which would you recommend?

My opinion is if you could only get one I would get Thor. He comes with a lot more...interchangeable arms...light effects and just seems to really stand out on the shelf. Not to mention he will look amazing next to Groot and Rocket (if you get those). Cap is really cool figure but think the End Game Figure that is bound to release will probably be a more classic looking Cap if you missed out on those from before. But you can’t go wrong with either figure. Both are pretty awesome.

In my opinion, those two figures look different enough that it will be like comparing apples to oranges. Thus, I suggest that you decide what matters the most to you. I'll give you some examples below.
Cap Pros:
- I like Cap's bearded and rugged look with the rolled up sleeves. His look in IW is also unique compared to previous Cap releases.
- I like the Black Order spears that you get with the Movie Promo version.
- Cap is one of my favorite characters.
- This release of Cap has more interesting accessories (for me) compared to Thor.
Cap Cons:
- I prefer a little more color but I understand that it may not go well with his rugged look in IW. Besides, there are other version of Cap with brighter colors.
- The head sculpt is not 100% in my opinion but it still looks good to me. There are not too many figures (that I am aware of) that have a 100% accuracy anyway.
- I prefer his classic shield although the Wakanda shields look cool and interesting if you want something different.
Thor Pros:
- The head sculpt looks good.
- I like his swap out arms because it gives you more display options.
- The light up feature is a plus.
- The cape can also be removed for an additional display option.
Thor Cons:
- I am not a fan of his short haired look and his eye patch. I prefer the longer hair from previous movies.
- I prefer the look of the mjolnir to the axe he got in IW.
I hope this helps. I also suggest watching reviews on YouTube or reading Michael Crawford's review on the Thor figure (link below).
