Thanks for the pics. That Avengers shield looks pretty damn good, might have to get one for my Cap.

I wish they would have done a good battle-damaged version.

You can always scratch yours up and what-not. I personally wouldn't pay for something I can do myself [emoji6]

They're sold out on eFX's site apparently, so I just ordered the Avengers shield from BBTS. Should look awesome with Cap.

That Avengers one looks nice. However, the CW one looks horrible. I like how the straps on both shields though are brown and have a leather esque look. I believe the straps on his shield are brown as opposed the black that HT usually makes them. Could also be me, but the beveling inside of the star also doesn't look as prominent as what HT makes them, which is more accurate because the beveling inside of the star on his shield is actually very subtle.

That's about the size of a HT shield

Apparently the straps are actual leather, and the buckles are real metal. It should make for an impressive piece to accompany Cap. Even HT hasn't used leather for the straps, not that it makes a HUGE difference since they won't even be visible, but still cool.
Don't expect anything anytime soon

My PO on BBTS now says August. Not surprising, didn't think it would ship by the end of July.

I have one of these shields. The SDCC exclusive. The weathering rubs off easily. As in fingerprints are left just touching it. It can easily turn into the clean version. I'm slowly removing some weathering. Very nicely built but straps cannot be adjusted.
So an HT Cap will not be able to hold it? Thanks in advance.

Also interested in this, that's the reason I ordered the Avengers shield
Well it looks like the answer is no, based on this review. I'll most likely be cancelling my BBTS order unless I see some really sturdy mods.

My fed ex delivery manager account just notified me that a shipping label has been prepared by efx. The only thing I ordered were the 1/6 diecast shields so it looks like they are shipping out my shields. I did email them asking about this the other day but got no response but not a big deal since they are shipping it out today.

I received one yesterday and saw your warning, and I didn't rub the shield very hard because of it, but none of the weathering came off just by lightly touching it for me and it didn't leave any fingerprints. It sounds like maybe your shield wasn't sealed properly? You might want to reach out to EFX...
Yeah, the straps won't fit a Hot Toys figure, but the shields are amazing and look so nice in hand. Next to the CW Battling Cap shield, the EFX really makes the HT version look like a toy.
I'm working on a small non-permanent mod that might allow the shield to attach to Cap's arm, we'll see how it plays out.

If you get the chance could you take a shot of the eFX next to the HT?
