Its removable but the parts where the face is covered are not actually sculpted at all.

Yup.

Yeaaahhh.....
I won't be trying that out, lol.
Looks like Robocop at the end of the first movie!
I'll sculpt the bat ears right onto the helmet and mask carefully before painting...
The suit will be hardest. It will have to be dyed totally black.
I am sure it will work out.

Yikes. Some things can't be unseen!

That being said, i just won one on Ebay for $10 shipped(And jacket, boots, gloves, trousers and gauntlets for $40).
I think if i boiled the head in a pan for ten minutes, the mask might peel off.
That CA looks solid, but it relies on the strength of the surrounding parts. If the surrounding parts are like jelly, then the CA will likely give it up.

I'm with you...that was painful.

This was posted over in the Rescue Cap thread, but I thought I'd share it here since technically he only rode the motorcycle when he had the First Avenger uniform on.

Anyway, someone found this 1/6 metal motorcycle at Hobby Lobby and said that it was only $35 PLUS 50% off:

I don't have a Hobby Lobby within 50 miles of here, so I looked at their website and found it here:

https://shop.hobbylobby.com/products/large-black-metal-motorcycle-794388/

It's $34.99 but if you look around their website you'll easily find a 40% off of one item coupon.

I ordered one this morning, and it came to just over $25 with tax and shipping!

As a reference, here is the bike from the movie:

Great deal for the bike. I picked up one myself. Thanks for posting.

Welcome, thought you'd like it for your FA Cap!

Absolutely...perfect for my First Avenger...now I only need to add the star to the bike and I'm good to go. Thanks again.

Yep, I'm going to paint mine green and see if I cant find a right sized star sticker....so i don't have to try to paint a perfectly straight white star.

I'm sure those are easy to come by. Look in school supplies.

LOL, good idea! Would not have thought of that!

If you draw the correctly sized star on a piece of styrene, then cut the shape out and use the "hole" as a template, you can use it to cut the shape from vinyl.
I did that once with a custom model kit but with red stars as it was a soviet build.

Nice job, that looks sharp!

Thanks. It's easy with a template.

Hey guys, so I was browsing through SS site seeing what they had on sale and I noticed something quite unusual...this figure is stated as "BACKORDERED" and it says that the estimated ship date is Novemeber 2012?! not sure if its for real or if someone at SS got this confused with the Avengers Cap or maybe for whatever reason HT decided to do a second run, but if anyone hasn't gotten this you might want to go ahead and order one since SS is still offering free shipping for this figure.

Thanks for the tip. It really is a great figure. Just got a Rescue cap head for my FA. Looks much better than the CIAN I had.
