Some quick snaps with new Avengers head sculpt...
I have a question, What are some of you doing about the paint flaking off the shield other than getting a new one? Is there any paint out there that's pretty close to the red on the shield?
I have two shields with zero defects, one on Cap and one on Obama.
If you have any problems, you just need to go to a store that sells automotive paints, mask off the back, prime the front and respray it.
I did a little *surgery* on a Cap head i had sitting spare.
I dremelled the head away inside until it could be pulled loosed and i then removed the leather parts and reattached them to the helmet.
Now it looks like Cap just took his lid off.

this looks really cool! Pity I missed the first Avenger Cap or else that's how I would have him displayed...
no bd shield for you though?

Good job.
Now just make a mold of it 
Good job.
Lol. If i thought it wouldn't be frowned upon and that anyone would buy the copies, i'd get the thing cast up by a friend of mine who does casting for a living. I doubt anyone would want to pay $25 for an empty helmet.
Thanks. He does look great, but i wish i was able to find someone selling a Rescue version headsculpt. I'd prefer that to the Avengers unmasked sculpt. No-one is selling that head though.
As for the shield, i haven't come across anyone selling the battle damaged shield.

He looks really good with the Avengers head sculpt. That's how I would display him if I had him.

Beautiful work brother, I also have a spare head that I've wanting to try that on but have been too lazy but after seeing how well it turned out I'm have to get on it.
Thanks. There are a lot of Avengers heads for sale out there. There's never been a better time to pick one up.
Well i had to dremel nearly the entire head out because there was a lot of superglue in this one.
Just use a grinder head and keep removing the head from the inside till you reach the helmet lid underside, then work your way outwards till the headsculpt pops out. It's a tricky job. When it pops out, all you do is remove the strap and side parts and attach them back to the helmet.

That Peggy Carter is amazing. Maybe I'll grab one those busty black widow bodies for her.

The head sculpt is a nice one - ordered one and painted it - used a phicen body and a mixture other things - really like it.
Up for grabs: $200 https://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showthread.php?t=121515
Some pics of my weathered Cap, repainted stars and matte finish sprayed regular shield

Managed to snag a Rescue Version headsculpt last week on Ebay for a good price, and swapped it out, replacing my Avengers snarling sculpt(Which is okay, but i far prefer the Rescue Sculpt). I know others have done this before, but i think he looks the business now.

Looks great! I may buy the HS separately now instead of buying the whole figure. Provided the price isn't too outrageous!
It's a far superior sculpt.
It's also a bit smaller than most, as it has to fit under his metal helmet of the Rescue version.
I'd recommend it over the Avengers unmasked sculpt as it's a cleaner overal sculpt of Evan's face, and the closest(In my opinion) to his look in the movies.
But you will be looking at at least $100 for the head, maybe even more.

Ouch. If that's the case, I'll just buy the entire figure.
My problem was that I wanted just the head sculpt.
If I bought the whole figure, I'd just display the whole figure and STILL need a separate head sculpt...
I may yet pick up the rescue version.
But I now have the best head sculpt to go with my Cap, whatever happens.
