Hot Toys -MMS167 - Captain America: The First Avenger: Red Skull Figure

[therealjondoe]

The under clothes don't really show.
You just need to use one of the extra sets of gloved hands.
And a pair of boots.
Im still trying to trackdown some boots mmyself

I just picked up one of these on ebay last night, took me long enough haha... anyway, I've seen people on here display both outfits/heads as two different figures... my question is, what exactly do I need besides the blank/naked body to do this myself? or is that all I need?

 

[DasMuse]

thanks guys... I figured I wouldn't really need a 2nd layer of clothing with the black jacket.

Don't really use E-Bay much. But I saw this for a decent price from several seller in Taiwan. Anyone heard any issues buying from Taiwanese sellers?

Do you have a link to the listing? You should look at their feedback and previous sales. I've bought stuff from China, parts mostly, never really figures, some guys are legit but you have to be careful of others.

 

[DasMuse]

I've ordered parts from Taiwan, Malaysia and China and I got them with no issues, they were legit...though it usually takes roughly a month (sometimes more) for them to get to me. I seen the cheaper Red Skull on there as well but opted for an in-states auction because while I trust them with small parts which aren't as easy to mess up in the mail, I don't trust international mail services to ship a box like that size and not bang it up.

I want to make the 2 figures. Came across this body on e-bay. Any one used theses. I know it's not a hot toy body, but I think it will d0.

The other day I was thinking about the prospect of adding Thanos to my villains collection but then it dawned on me that I only have one Marvel villain. I then started to think about the Infinity Stones and both trains of thought led me to Red Skull. After looking at this thread and OMG's picture thread I was convinced I had to get him. I was lucky enough to find him in the UK for a reasonable price and he came today. He's an awesome figure!

Some observations:

• The Shmidt head sculpt is amazing. Seriously, I didn't think much of it in the pictures but in hand it is so good! That said, I still had to swap it out and display with the Red Skull sculpt.
• The tailoring on the coat is pretty good but damn, it was a tight squeeze to get it on and the belt was also a mission!
• Removing the Schmidt head sculpt took a lot of effort and when it did come off it came off with the rounded part of the peg. Was this supposed to happen? I now can't quite connect the Red Skull sculpt so it's kind of just sitting in there. Any tips on how to get it on?
• The Tesseract, whilst at its core is a cheap bit of plastic, looks realy really good! I'm a bit concerned about fingerprints though.
• I wanted to display this guy with Tesseract in one hand and pistol in the other but sadly there are only two 'left' hands - one clenched and one open palm. A gun holding hand would have been nice
  
  Despite the short comings, I'm really glad I picked him up and he looks great with Loki, Thor and Avengers Captain America. It gives a really nice synergy to my Marvel collection
  He will look ace flanking Thanos with Loki next yeaar (fingers crossed Skull will be back in the MCU!)

Yeah. Both headsculpts are incredible. One of the most under rated figures.

Going to pick one up soon. But I'd like to display both options. What kind of body do I need to assemble the second one? There are so many different bodies

Its definitely a truetype body, I'm not 100% on which one though

It doesn't really matter. You won't see the body anyway, so you can put anything in there.

Alright, thanks! Any tips on getting those boots? I found a pair in India but those are €45,-
