Decided to remove the head and keep the helmet. Never going to use it anyway.

That looks fantastic. If all the photos had looked like that, I might not have cancelled my PO. Makes me think I might circle back and pick up the tunic on Ebay in the future.

Robbie, you mentioned you broke the arm putting the shirt back on; is it a difficult task or was it just an accident? I've got the Ebay sculpt and LOVE the way your mod turned out! I'd like to try it but don't want to break it!

It can be a pain to get the arms turned. I got in a hurry.
I got my GA Cap today, and despite some of the better looking pictures of late, I had my reservations about it. The head sculpt isn't atrocious (that said, I wouldn't keep it), the articulation is decent (better than TFA, but not perfect), the die-cast shield is pretty nice, and I rather like the subtle pinstriping on the blue suit. It's a more classic comic book version of Cap, but I love the TFA Cap more, so I'll probably be letting this one go.
In the meantime, quick question for those who have the figure- did anyone else's shield come with some scratches/scuffs on the underside of the shield? It looks like someone scratched off the textured surface to reveal the flat metal below, except it doesn't feel painted on (I didn't dare try to scratch off more somewhere else); maybe it's an artifact of the die-cast process? Here's a picture of what I mean (near the top left strap):

Robbie, I hate you. I was just starting to get over that fact my card was declined, and then you show us that pic.

That picture is amazing Robbie but that head sculpt looks like Charlie Sheen to me. Which would have made for an interesting version of the character lol.

my shield actually has some scratches on the top part. On the silver ring. It's disappointing.. I don't know if Sideshow can send another or not. I know the shield is supposed to have a BD look to it so that's one thing.
So all those times Charlie Sheen was ranting about tiger blood flowing through his veins... it was actually the super soldier serum?

Long hours and a lot of hard work, but things looking nice on BvS set...Just received word via photo of something waiting for me back at home....

He has a mesh "underwear" the upper shirt is stitched to. I cut the mesh rather than the red stitching on the shirt. I'll re-attach this later.
I'm surprised Robbie got the shirt off, I'm still working on this part.
Thankfully mine didn't have any scratches on the top (that I saw), but I'm in the same boat wondering if Sideshow would even exchange it because of something so minor (on something so limited). At the moment, I'm not feeling too hopeful about an exchange.

Yeah I'm not sure. I looked on eBay and saw somebody selling the shield's for $130, haha. I emailed them just in case, but I'll be okay with this if they can't. It is minor and still looks awesome in the detolf with the lights shining down on it.

Do we know is this suit is going to last? I'm not liking what I'm reading concerning the shoulder area feeling rubbery/cheap.

It's realistic. The shield has battle damage weathering.
Hot Toys making stuff to last?
This looks a 1000x better. I hate the huge rounded shoulders. Next time I take mine out of the box, I'll remove the shoulder pads. Is it a hassle to do this? Do you have to remove the entire top portion of the suit?
I did the head swap and also some work on the shoulders. With the mods I frikkn love this guy.
There is some foam padding in the shoulders that is making that weird rounded shape. Pull that out and it makes a big difference I think. I also put shorter pegs in. And I also built up the base of the neck so the collar of the shirt wouldn't sink in. Helps with the line of the shoulders.

I'm not sure if the shoulders look slimmer here but this is after removing the grey inner pads that bulk out the upper arms toward the outside.
