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

If you want to be movie accurate (or particular), the buckle should be as such:


Yours is flipped.... as with many other even in the same batch.

Ah right, i didn't even notice because it was like that out of the box.

Did you hold Cap close to your chest and warm him with all the love in your heart?

One thing that i should point out is some of the captain america figures that i saw suffered a giraffe neck syndrome.. Watch out on that guys.. Here's an example

 

[Crimsonbob]

I should think its just a case of needing to make sure the head and neck are pushed on properly.

 

[Eamon]

Yeah, just push down that head dude!

 

[Dollmanron]

The wait for this figure is horrible for me.

Ohhh WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY!!!

Been playng with my Captain America for a couple hours now. He's freakin' sweet.

The figure is definately SUPER stiff right out of package, and the belt slides up or falls down during handling regularly. Already had the plug on the holster come off when I tried buttoning the 1911 in place...but I'm replacing it with tiny magnets so it's cool.

Another thing I'm going to do is since the belt likes to move a whole lot and I want it more stationary...I thought I would take it off and loop it through in places where I can use the loops yet still cover it up.

I've also thought about taking the holster off completely as I'm not much of a screen-accuracy nut, and the Captain America I know doesn't need a gun lol. I think it's a nice detail though so I'm still iffy on that idea. Besides those nitpicks and custom ideas, it's an AWESOME figure.

I'm just glad to have a 1/6th Captain America in the collection!!!

 

[Crimsonbob]

Yeah that was what i was thinking as well just loop the belt at the back so its held in place better.

Some shot of my new figures.

Anyone else have real trouble fitting the shield on?

Anyone else have real trouble fitting the shield on?

I did when i first got it, it was a real pain in the ass! Funny thing is when taking the pictures above i had no problems.

 

[tommyh84]

I don't dare take the shield off now I've got it on

 

[-jay-]

I don't dare take the shield off now I've got it on

I was thinking that way as well. How stiff were the arms on yours tommy?

[Optimatron]

I think it's a breeze putting the shield on his arm. At first I was having problems but then I STOPPED following the directions and did it my own way. Now I just leave the hand attached to the arm...slide it in and place the strap through his hands and buckle it in.

I was having a horrible time attaching it like the instructions say. I find it much easier the way I described.

Man this figure is so awesome I don't even want to go to class....just stay home and play with this....but I can't skip this class anymore lol. The video game releases this fall have really put a dent in my attendence lol.

Iron man always acting the fool. I'm glad you got a laugh out of it.

 

[jutty]

AAAHAAAA..
Uncle Tony is a real jokester at times

 

[Crimsonbob]

Great pics -jay-

 

[Eamon]

Wicked pics!

My guy in Hong Kong tells me that Hot Toys are being slow shipping out the Captain Americas and i will not get mine until the end of this month, which is a little dissapointing.

 

[Marvel-ous]

Been a while since HT announced anything new...boring. Any news on that Cap USO version?
