I think Barry used a TFA shield and scraped/removed all the paint using some kind of paint remover.

Paint thinner
I'm thinking maybe I *do* get this one. I need a headsculpt for Barry to dremmel for my TFA.
Hey Bar & Boylost, what did yall use for that centerline stripe on your TFA jackets?
I added three stripes. One in the centre and one on either side of the braces. They are 3m Reflective red sticky backed vinyl.
Yeah. That's right.
TFA Shield is electroplated then painted red and blue. All you do is take a bottle of acetone and a rag, then wipe the acetone dipped rag on the shield. After a few minutes all the paint melts off and you are left with the silver electroplated shield.
Wear rubber gloves, and don't do it on any easy-to-damage work surfaces...
After the paint is gone, get some brasso or similar and buff the shield to a mirror shine.
It still looks fine.
Good question.

Excellent.
Let me know if you need one done.

Thanks. Will you be getting this? I am tempted but I do not need so many captains though I am not a fan of the shield suit.

LOL! It aint "if", amigo... its "when". ;-)
I'm a fan of Cap. So i want to say yes. But it depends entirely on how many other figures we get. I have no interest in the long haired baddie. At all.
But i will be getting a couple of the Widow figure, and at least one of the suit with the white stripes.
For this one, i might be content with my own custom.
A couple of turnaround vids of my figure with the unpainted shield.
No worries. Looks like other than the sculpt, the lid is very similar, so if you have a spare, i can do it any time.
yea and I think that is a scam as well but at least we get a cloak for a different look.... what we get for the CA? More and more hands?? Damn joke. I hope there is an exclusive like the light armor Thor. Because unless this is less than 190, I'll certainly pass

Weird that he does not come with a single weapon though, unless you count his sheild of course.
Is this a promo release or a regular one?
It might go with the stealth suit
When i first picked up TFA Cap(In parts: Suit, helmet, gloves, boots, all bought separately), it was to make a WWI-Era Batman. I was going to dye the suit charcoal, and replace the star with the Batsymbol.
But i decided to make myself a Cap instead. And got hooked.
It's always the way, lol.
