Thank you for posting those! :D

I can't wait to have him in my collection. :panic:

Either one will turn out great, but I personally refer the clean shield, interchangeable face plates and as mentioned, if I were going to replicate a scene from the film with the figures, that would be the one.

I'm going to pick the regular version HS, bloody it up a little and put on this. I also want the regular version shield to put with my 1st Avenger cap. The colors on it seem to match the colors of my flaking original better than any of the others so far.
 
Re: Hot Toys Captain America:Civil War Captain America"Battling Version" Movie Promo

My only complaint after seeing the film is that this isn't a bit more battle damaged. Still glad I ordered it though.
 
Re: Hot Toys Captain America:Civil War Captain America"Battling Version" Movie Promo

You're welcome! :hi5:

I bet you want a brand-new civilian Steve as well. In nothing but a T-shirt. And maybe some jeans. :lol

You're damn right I want another Rogers figure, preferably with a different sculpt though. :rotfl

Isn't the custome supposed to be dirty? I have old eyes but dammit, I cannot see it in any pic. They did good job showing the grime on the shield
 
Re: Hot Toys Captain America:Civil War Captain America"Battling Version" Movie Promo

Well, added myself to the waitlist even though I'm sure it won't convert :lol
 
Re: Hot Toys Captain America:Civil War Captain America"Battling Version" Movie Promo

I was on waitlist since 29th last month. I canceled it today and bought the regular one instead with the new $20 off code. I also found a similar base (released with Hot Toys Kerberos Panzer Cop) for $22 as well. With the little weathering, custom BP shield and identical base, I think I'm okay with not having this movie promo version haha.

That will look pretty neat!

Surprised there are Avengers A logos on the shoulders. Seemed like for a lot of the film he didn't have them.

I concur. I wish the figure (both regular and BV) didn't include it. Not a big deal though.

wait I'm not sure how the regular better represents that scene better?

this version cap is dirty, has the more "appropriate" base, and most of all, the shield has bp's scratch on it; just like it still had in that final fight scene. the camera clearly did a close up to show the scratched up shield when cap left it.

the regular is a clean shield which is only that way pre-airport fight. the only thing the regular has that this one should is the angry faceplate, which we can probably just buy as a part out pretty easily.

I'm just hoping HT throws in a bloodied up faceplate for this. a very clear oversight by them. chances are its too late for changes though.

I plan to do the same thing with the regular version sculpt.

So glad I pre ordered this version. The movie was great. I do hope they make the avengers symbol Velcro to allow it to come off easily.

I will say I'm glad this figure will be my newest representation of CA compared to the AofU suit. I thought this was way yay better than AofU.

I'll just quote Motux's post from a few pages back.

I get the photoshopped background is from the iron man fight. if you've seen the film which figure actually fits that scene better? The cap figure with the face that is in fight mode and the shield to match, or this one that has the scratched shield and stoic face? The background is just a cool look for the pictures.

The other figure has that same background in some of the images, and the figure actually fits the film in that way. This figure matches the earlier scene. Forget the background. Just look at the figure, since it doesn't actually come with the background. The battling version matches the black panther scene (hence no bloody face) and the regular version matches the final scene.

Which matches this scene. No scratches on shield and more aggressive face.

And then the battling version matches this scene, and the BP interaction

Scratches and more stoic. Less blood and bruising and dirt.

Clean shield

However, if I recall correctly, I think the shield still had the BP scratch at the end. When HT first designed the regular version though, I believe they essentially modeled it after the final fight scene with IM based on the footage from the trailers, but you weren't really able to tell the shield was stil scratched. It does very much coincide with the gritted teeth face piece though.
 
Re: Hot Toys Captain America:Civil War Captain America"Battling Version" Movie Promo

i mean if we're going for accuracy here this version is clearly meant for the "final battle" scene because of the shield alone.
 
Re: Hot Toys Captain America:Civil War Captain America"Battling Version" Movie Promo

We already have a BD Tony head, it's time we get a Steve one.
 
Re: Hot Toys Captain America:Civil War Captain America"Battling Version" Movie Promo

HT always does this. Of course it would make more sense for the Final Battle version to have the angry face, which is why its not included. You have to buy both of them to complete the look. As was their grand scheme :lecture

That's not the whole scene though. Even if the shield where clearly scratched the entire time, which it's not, the regular version still "better" or more accurately over all matches the final fight. The base is irrelevant in the accuracy discusion since its reused from an entirely different product. It no more matches then the standard base.

As for more dirty...not really. At least not so far.

Neither one perfectly matches, but the regular edition better matches, based on the then/now availble reference materials. The shield may have the scratches in the final battle, but there are times it doesn't. And there are parts of the airport fight that do have it. So either shield will work with either scene. The base doesn't match on either. The extra faceplate is nearly a spot on for the final battle. Both currently have the Avengers logo.

One is designed to show the fight between Cap and a black panther (the scratched/battling) and one is designed for the iron man fight.
 
Re: Hot Toys Captain America:Civil War Captain America"Battling Version" Movie Promo

this is the shot right after cap drops it at the end.

i guess we can ignore continuity and go with the shield having scratches then not, then does, and act like that's how it was meant to be and not an error.

Regular figure:

-normal mouth: standard look
-angry mouth: scene specific - final battle
-shield: pre-BP

BV:

-headsculpt: standard look
-shield: post-BP
-dirty costume: post-Crossbones/post-chase/post-airport (pick one)
-base: irrelevant

Is it not okay to assume that each figure might contain accessories/features from differing periods of the movie?
