1/6 Hot Toys - MMS - Captain America: The Winter Soldier - Golden Age Captain America

I don't think he looks puffy when watching the OMG video. There are some things that work better when you can actually see them and walk around them.

Exactly. This is why I'm reserving my judgement for when I have it in hand

seems like a good plan....

I think people are blowing it out of proportion as to how bad the head sculpt looks personally. It's not a knock out like the Rogers/Stealth Suit set but it looks pretty good still.

I agree, but from certain angles and certain poses it looks really good in photos. But in other poses and angles it looks downright awful. In pictures. I still think in hand it will be just fine.

For this reason is why the sculpt is getting trashed. Come out with a knock out with the 2-pack, and this one is a unrecognizable stunt double. Looking at that lineup of caps I am saying who is that bloated head guy?

Just posted on Facebook by John Woo.

It manages to make the Avengers head look really good.

 

[hokietwo]

Yes it really does, especially from the side profile. All the other cap sculpts look like the have beaks for noses as well compared to the avengers sculpt.

Torso too short and bulky, too chesty. No neck because it looks like ice hockey pads. And his legs are too long.
The headsculpt? No pointing commenting beyond what's already been said. But how can this and the stealth version be from the same movie release? They look like they are 3-4 years apart sophistication wise.

Can't wait to get him!

I think Hot Toys have blown this figure out of proportion.

The first avenger cap looks far superior

 

[Kamandi]

Nobody liked HT DX Luke Skywalker in pictures, now all this time later people are still trying to get a set and talk about how great it is (which I can attest).

People are micro-picking from crappy cell phone pics.

I am 100% sure it will be awesome in hand. Figures always are.




Means I have them. And not just troll through threads looking at pics.

Avengers Cap is one of the BEST Caps out there....this WS Cap is a bit disappointing.

Think he meant TFA Cap and not avengers cap.

 

[Brainiac]

HT DX Luke in hand looked exactly the same as the early pics that caused the freak out. People just took more flattering pics of it in hand. It still has the googly eyes, the dodgy stitching and poor fabric choice. Really good 1/6 figures stand up to the very worst unflattering photography. Poor photographs just highlight the issues with a figure. And these are not particularly poor or unflattering pics. Certainly not crappy phone pics. I have all these figures too, and they look just like they do in those pics, so not sure what would be different with this.

But I do believe the "wanting to like" attitude changes when you either love the subject matter or have spent a load of cash on something. Then it's easier in hand to turn a blind eye to the issues, you have vested interest in doing so?

At the end of the day if your happy with your purchase great, if your not then, why not? It's all subjective.

I'm so happy to be getting this

I'd say 2 weeks.....maybe 3

 

[chewdeezy]

Looks better in the video, that's for sure.

 

[reyrey]

Where are all the people who are supposedly canceling?!? My waitlist didn't convert

Normally I would agree with you, but we saw pics from OMG here, and those are about as flattering as pics are gonna get for an HT figure. Yet, problems with the figure remain.

I think it looks OK, but far from great.

Just saw this on Facebook. He definitely looks a lot meatier and more like Cap in the new figure. I still love TFA look, but this one is way better. Except the helmeted sculpt of course, but that can be fixed.

The Golden Age suit design is so much better than the other with that third red stripe in the middle. It ties the suit all together; that's Captain America! The problem with this doll is the shoulders have no definition, the suit is too puffy. It looks like something he'd wear parachuting or in cold weather. It doesn't look like something he'd fight in because his upper body doesn't look like it would have much range and motion.
I could overlook the head that everybody seems to be complaining about but it's the bulkiness of the suit on the upper body that bothers me.
