1/6 Hot Toys 1/6 Avengers: Endgame Capt America

[Zurdo95D]

Has anyone else seen this amazing custom? I feel like HT let us down with this being the last major Cap. I still think they could've given us a sculpted helmet with PERs.

That custom head sculpt

Do you know who painted that? Looks like one of Unreal's sculpt.

357partment painted it.

Am I the only one struggling with the heads being difficult to attach? I haven't seen much about it, but I have three and they are all a real chore... I feel like I may be missing something!

I broke my neck peg trying to apply the sculpt back on. I posted my pic of the broken peg a few pages back. Be careful, I got lucky enough to have SS send me a replacement body.

Thanks for the responses. I guess I'm glad I'm not alone!

I think the pinhead issue is cause by hot toys' sculptor trying to replicate this look. Perspective distortion makes the top of the head looks smaller/flatter. IMHO, the sculptor should've use more than just 1 image as the reference.

The other problem is, hot toys want to reuse the old mouth plates. They forced the old mouth plates into the new head. It would be better for the sculptor to make from scratch than reusing old head.

Finally, to my knowledge, HT's sculptors are more traditional sculptors than digital sculptors. If you make the wrong proportions, digital sculptors can easily edit the file and test print as many as they like until they get the right proportions. Traditional sculptor, once they got the proportion wrong, they'll have to sculpt from scratch again. I think they know the head is too small but they couldn't do much about it as it would take more time to sculpt a new one.

What are your thoughts on the new ''2012 version'' figure?

edit - Nevermind, just saw you posted in that thread.

It has several issues but I love it. The suit tailoring is definitely nice. I did a video review and mod tutorial here.

Everytime I see you post this sculpt (or the Mjolnir one), it just blows my mind! Can't wait to get mine!

I agree with you completely, and that's been my issue with Hot Toys whenever they they dont fix heads that are small which most people assume the issue was the body.
Also, from what I understand, once hand sculpted heads are finished, once they go to production, there's a slight reduction in size.
So I think that's why sometimes, their proto looks ok, but once the finished product is revealed, the head looks smaller.

An example is the Golden Age Cap. Most people assumed that the body was too bulky. But it was because of the smaller finished helmeted head. When you replace it with the newer Steve Rogers head, or newer helmeted head, the proportions are fine.

Also the Justice League Superman. It was soooo pinheaded.
But once I replaced it with a custom head, the proportions are fine.

By the way, great job on your custome Helmeted Head. Gonna have to message you sometime and may pick one up once I get a little free time.

I'm really unhappy with the chest plate on this figure. Would any of you be interested in a custom one that's more accurate if I can find an artist and put a project together?

Great pics, Ryzie86!

That was my exact pose for this figure, as well. Classic museum pose but still bad-*** Cap.

It can be two things. The body can still be oversized and the head smaller than it should be. Civil War Cap is chunkier than it should be and this looks like they used CW Cap as a base, and then just added the Endgame parts over it.

Great video I bet a whole lot of people will find helpful. Your custom Endgame Cap head looks incredible there by the way!

Thank you buddy. Fully agree this figure looks great in a museum pose

Great looking figure. I was able to get this one at a discount on SS for Black Friday
