As BADASS as it gets

I would have to agree.

Parts of me wants to agree with devil and khev.....

BUT....

We are getting a high budget Avengers movie, it truly is a dream come true regardless of minor quibblies like his weight and girth.

Haven't we all learned a lesson already with the Cap movie

As far as i'm concerned, CE is now Cap for me like CH is Thor and RDJ is IM.

CE has earned that from me so I owe him the trust that his final look will be just fine in the "finished" movie.

 

[The Josh]

"Nonsense." I swear Josh in your efforts to remain dramatic sometimes points just go right over your head.

Thats right I said nonsense. Not being dramatic at all. Sarcastic maybe but not dramatic. So nothing went over my head at all thanks though. I get that you and others want him to look like one of those idiots in the WWE or Barry Bonds from the Giants. I think the way he looks in the current run of Cap comics ripped but not roided out and how Evans looks in the still work together just fine. More power to ya if you want to see John Cena be Evans stunt double but I'll be more than pleased to keep things as is based on what we've seen.

Agreed. Can't wait for the scene where he finally teams up with Booster and G'Nort to take on Manga Khan.

Sorry bud, but again you prove that isn't the case when you say:

No, you don't get it Josh, because that's not what I said I wanted. I said I liked the happy medium achieved in The First Avenger. I said the specific costume design chosen for The Avengers would probably look better on a bigger physique since its tight like in the comics, not that I wanted Evans to be huge. Big difference. I think Evans is fine, and they should have given him something that fit a little more like his TFA suit.

 

[The Josh]

No pal. I get it trust me. I appreciate your concern though.

I get that you and others might feel he needs to be bigger to pull off this kind of a suit or that they needed to go with something different. I was saying that I don't think he needs to look bigger to pull it off that he looks fine as is. My posts were laced with thick sarcasm. Sorry, you couldn't pick that up.

 

[Khev]

Yes that is correct. Hopefully it plays better in action. And if you really were being sarcastic then I did indeed miss that.

I was trying to lace that with thick sarcasm. Thats why I went with the WWE references and Barry Bonds. Since they are bigger (muscle wise) compared to Evans.

Brilliant as alws

 

[TotalDominAsian]

I'd be beyond happy if they put a magnet or metal inside the shield so we could have it posed striking objects... Like snotty piece of magnet or metal in another figure's shirt.

In my OPINION the modern outfit looks cheesy- the WWII era outfit MUCH more realistic, practicle and not so "comic booky", I know it is a comic book movie, blah blah.

That movie pic of the new costume looks bad, not liking it BUT isn't that what everyone said of the WW2 version when they first saw it????

The modern outfit does look kinda cheesy, but itll probably look better in the movie and within context

I don't have my finger on the pulse re: the movie costumes so first I saw of the Cap's WW2 outfit was the official pics of this figure. I was blown away by the figure, but had I first seen the costume as a movie still or shot from a set I probably wouldn't have thought much of it. The WW2 costume renders so well as a 1/6 figure - the new costume would probably hold up well in 1/6 too. I can't see it being anywhere near as cool though somehow.

Given the shot in progress, this will be a stunt costume, so very different from the hero. And this is a fly-on-the-wall pic, which is very different from the final colour-corrected film image with VFX sweetening added.
The best ref right now would be the official pics/paintings and the trailer. (and Joss Whedon knows what he's doing I reckon!)

I really like both costumes and think each is right for the period it is set in

I don't know how alone I am in my liking of the new suit, but there it is, I'm on it's side!

Wonder what the times in the US will be? I'll be getting all three of those movies.

I think I found the inspiration for the Jessica Rabbit PF!

Indeed
