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

[FullMetalHippie]

This was my 1st figure from hot toys and still love this guy. My only complaint is both my shields , bought a xtra are flaking badly ? Oh well on having xtra mint shield. If some one does good panting n the shields message me I need a repaint on both. Just want to know on how other's shields are doing is yours flaking paint ???

Just got a MISB and the shield is perfect. I'm starting to wonder if the paint/electroplating didn't have time to cure for those who received him on release. Doesn't sound right but I fully expected to open mine to a cracked paint job.

I'm no painter and try not touch my figs unless repose once in a while but feel like all will flake in due time until i repaint mine and seal correctly. I watched a car show and said if you used the wrong primer or crappy primer people said it will flake. Either way crappy qc and NO WAY Hot toys would recall or help us now.

I guess could just use shield for the next winter soldier look. All my shields will eventualy look like this.

Finally decided to display my Cap with some attempt of style

gun in one hand, shield on the back

that BD shield from the new cap was made for this figure I swear

^^^ Very nice! I was never able to secure the shield flat on his back, it would always angle to one side plus I could never get it hooked on right. Where did you get that motorbike?

 

[galmando]

Ebay, quite some time ago though, when they were cheap

silly prices now for what it is

the shield doesn't sit flush on mine either

How much were they? How much are they now?

It's a GI Joe Harley Davidson WLA45 w/ Army Courier. I was painting mine about an hour ago for my Cap figure. I paid $60 on ebay.

That's the one

I actually can't find one on there now

I think I paid about £30 or £40 at the time, I can't really remember now

last I saw they were going for nearly double, I'm guessing because of this figure

 

[galmando]

Just searched WLA45 (Couldn't remember the name before, tganks Kamandi)

There's a few on bids that are starting relatively low so if anyone wan5s one I think you could snag it with 1 bid

Had mine modified to look more like the film-used bike.

Looks great!

 

[galmando]

I'd never have the skills to do something like that

it does look good with all the gadgets on it

it really makes the figure pop I think

I never liked displaying him with the red skull as I think that figure suits the rescue Cap better

 

[Statiss]

Simply amazing!!

 

[tblackett]

Ugh! Just noticed mine has the flaking problem. Very annoying, can't think how it happened. Decided I might as well embarace it and scratched the shield up some more to give it a battle damaged / scratched up look - fortunately, the WW2 outfit already has a sort of weathered look so it works to some extent, but still annoying!

Fantastic stuff bmarz!!

Which is the main reason I haven't went looking for this one. Kinda ruins the display without a good shield.

No, I'm not in this teaser for the first trailer (fingers still crossed for an appearance by our stunt team when the whole thing is released in 2 days!) but it does show the updated version of his old suit, and yes I can now confirm, he's got the middle red stripe on his waist and he has a more reddish look to his garments! Sorry I couldn't reveal anything before, you know, signed a contract of non-disclosure and all... Cheers!

In case you haven't seen it yet. I was surprised to see a version of the FA suit in here:
