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

The muscle arms just limit elbow movement, not shoulder...

I recommend swapping out the body if you can. The body he comes with has muscle body arms attached to an ordinary truetype torso. The arms offer limited articulation, they look nice but really whats the point on this figure as you don't see his arms??

What body do you recommend? I am tempted to try it.

well,i finally gave in and ordered captain america

It also limits the shoulders due to how tight the sleeves are over the muscle arms. I can barely get the arms straight in front of the figure let alone up to or above the shoulders and I have freed the shoulder pads.

I would switch the body if I could figure out how to get the top off without feeling like I was going to break the shoulders on the body.

It was really tough when I did it. Even with the glue broken loose on the shoulder pads still is a _____ with those shoulders.

I just spent the best part of an hour to get this pose.

His movement is REALLY restricted.

Mine with a TrueType

It's not that hard, you have to seperate the gluded shoulder pads from the sleeves. I rotated the arms within the sleeves, just try not to rotate the sleeves either since it will pull on the shoulder straps. It might make it easier if you pull out the lower arms and just rotate the upper arms.

The uniform is not that restricting once you seperate the glued shoulder parts, just have to be very gentle and careful when you rotate his arms because of the uniform.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Thanks kanine. I'm not sure I'll go as far as ungluing the shoulder pads, but I think rotating the arms and keeping the sleeves in place is sound advice.

And I like Robbie's solution best of all! There was absolutely no reason for HT to use the muscle arms on Cap. I don't buy that baloney they said that Cap filled in the uniform better with the muscle arms. Robbie's is proof that Cap looks awesome in a non-muscled TT.

[steve74]

I'm working on my Howling Commandos to display with my Cap, Lucky Jim is almost done, then Bucky, Dum Dum and Union Jack.

I needs some ideas for the HS for Bucky and Dum Dum, thanks.

 

[Kibagami]

Great work Steve! Awesome Wolverine!

 

[steve74]

Oh yeah that's a great issue, Caps 1st encounter with the Hand, some of the 1st looks into Wolverine's past. Plus Jim Lee's outstanding artwork, it's still one of my favorite issues of X-Men.

LOL

Yeah! The HAND versus Wolverine and Captain America. Sweet. I took that cover down cause I thought people would bomb on that.

Yeah, that's Lee at his FINEST; his best!

Is it the body that is restrictive or the outfit or both?

 

[JacktheRipper]

Although the underlying body is restrictive I'm finding that the most restrictive part is the outfit. Not all of it but the shoulder-pads. The material over the shoulders is very stiff. It's kind of like when you buy leather basketball shoes and it takes some time to break them in. Although I don't think this material will give over time.
