Hot Toys: - MMS156 - Captain America The First Avenger Official Specs and Pics

I think the thing to recognise is that the point in the movie where we see him sling the shield on his back for the first time isn't necessarily the first time he puts on the uniform, its within a sequence where he is comfortable in his guise and kicking arse. Its possibly months (even years) after getting the gear.

Those marks are just the paint being taken off the shield.

On a side-note, anybody know if there is going to be a 1/6 version of the non-painted shield ??? And his first shield for that matter ???

Final Word

Bullet 'carbon' marks the unpainted shield

Painted shield is marked - but not in the same places - and its only carbon scoring

I guess that's settled.

But it still means it should be god damn battle damaged!!

Clean looks lame!!

YEAHHH!!

prefer the shield to be fully shiny...that way it matches the clean look of the figure.

It's been said before, but bears repeating, It's easier to make this battle damage then it would be to make a battle damaged shield shiny.

The shield "damage" doesn't really make sense in the context of the movie.

When Peggy shoots the unpainted shield the bullets don't deflect or ricochet -- their kinetic energy is completely absorbed by the vibranium and they're shown simply falling to the floor.

So if the shield dampens all impacts, then how could carbon scoring and ricochet marks be present?

Hmmmm?

simple. her shots were fired from straight on, but I'm sure Cap deflects shots from all different angles in battle. Hell, he even runs with the shield slanted upward when he's charging so it wouldn't be out the question

No offense, but that didn't answer his question for me

Straight on or not, shouldn't left any marks.

I say it was made of 98% Vibranium and 2% Hot Toys plastic.

I'm all out of ideas then this is why I never question inconsistencies that happen in movies

 

[robbiethepainter]

Pure awesomeness.

 

[meanstreak]

did i read that this was shipping pretty soon or did i just make that up?

 

[toylion]

If you must have the shield battle damaged just let your kid play with it or your dog. Problem solved.

i second. better with a clean shield than with none. if you don't want it, try lighting it up with a matchstick so there's carbon markings for you. happy happy

caution: only a desperate fool would do that or even think about doing it

Well we'll see about that. You know HT's release schedule is inconsistent at best. Thor was early/on-time...but what about IM MK V?
Lets just hope Cap is an easy figure that doesn't give them many problems.

SSC and other online retailers say Q4 though

 

[dredman1]

Buy two figure and make a battle damaged shield out of one or buy another shield off ebay...
