Cap arrived today from AE with a perfect star and "A"
Awesome news!!!
Mine's coming from them too, hope mine is in the same condition as yours!
i have two sets of pegs therefore, I am going to say yes: 1. wrist 2. ankle
Cool. They make the figure look a lot better actually so pop those little guys in!
I am excited to FINALLY have mine arrive and it be defect free!!! Amazing looking figure, I'll get to the ankles this weekend. Bravo HT.....
The wait was worth it, no? 
Be prepared to have to reglue the straps on the shield. HT was very conservative with their glue lol
Be prepared to have to reglue the straps on the shield. HT was very conservative with their glue lolAfter taking several deep breaths, I finally had the balls to mod my Cap last night. I've had the paints to do the mod for awhile but just havent had the guts to do it until I saw of the mods that were done here. One thing that really bothered me was the helmet. I wish they would have done it like the IM mark 4 which was plastic but it looks like metal. So after watching the movie several times, I noticed that his helmet has some shine to it to make it look like its metal.
So, I glossed the heck out of his helmet. Also added the battle damage to it which gives it more of metal helmet look. I also dry brushed lighter brown on the leather part of the helmet to make it look like its leather since it only had one coat and its too dark. I also weathered the gray straps on his uniform. I glossed his boots and pouches on his belt. Weathered the white part of the torso. Also added the taller foot pegs which did a significant difference. I think I may still go back and add more weathering on the outfit...not sure. But at the moment I'm extremely happy on how it turned out.

looks good man but you might want to put some dull on it so it looks more "used"

Already been down that road
The wait was well worth it. My second favorite Marvel figure behind Wolverine. I cannot wait for black suit Spiderman and Red Skull.

I haven't heard such rumor but I wouldn't be surprised either. No matter, it will be mine.
Thanks Nick. That's probably the next step but I want to get another shield first in case I screw it up since I'm still fairly new to modding.

Thank you for that promising bit of good news. I knew Sideshow was telling fibs when they claimed their whole shipment had crooked stars and titled A'sCap arrived today from AE with a perfect star and "A"

Good luck (which shouldn't need f ing QC). It is truly an awesome figure.
Yeah, I also bought Testors dullcoat to go along with the rest of the mod but I chickened out last night when I did the mods.
I think I want another shield first just in case since I'm not a pro at modding. I've only done a few here and there which is why it took me awhile to do my mods. There were plenty of days where I got Cap out of the display case but ended up putting him back for fear of ruining it.
