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

[SilverStar17]

Yeah, I know what you mean. When I got mine, I was hoping to have him holding the tesseract and holding his gun in the other hand, but found out that wasn't possible. I figured the tesseract was a more vital piece to the film, so I went with him holding the tesseract.

I think I might try the ole trench coat head and boots on a generic body so I can display Shmidt and herr Skull side by side. One with the gun and the other with the cube. I'm afraid they'll look like chorus girls with both of their right hands raised in a similar pose though... We'll see...

P.S.

Sorry about the thread necro. I'm sure this has been discussed to death here. I'm just excited about this guy.

That's what the thread is for.
Also, there's no need to think there's a problem displaying multiple Red Skulls.

Damn this thread revival, convinced me to impulse buy a 2nd body for my Red Skull. Any suggestions on where I can get a pair of boots and pants? I don't care if it is accurate, just as long as it looks correct-ish like Username's above. Since the Jacket is pretty snug, I figure I can get away without a shirt, and he comes with different hands which should be enough. Am I missing anything else? I love finally putting to use this spare head sculpt... maybe I should get one for my Obadiah too.

Just go to Toy Anxiety or Monkey Depot and look for boots. The ideal ones are WWII German jackboots. They will look the part.

I had an old body laying around but the ball joint is too big for the Hot Toys neck... I guess it's a Dragon body. I already have black boots pants and a t-shirt so all I need is a proper body.
I am also considering a green jumpsuit to try out a classic comic look. Though I think I'll pass on ironing a swastika onto the chest.

I purchased a set of hands from the hot toys bank robber joker so the skull can hold both the tesseract and his pistol.

This is one I put together with parts ordered from TA and monkey depot.

Both the Red Skull and the Schmidt sculpts are top notch, it is a shame that one has to stay in the box with only one figure. Makes sense why people have at least two bodies for this guy.

Been appreciating Red skull this weekend, really hope we see him again in the MCU in future films.

The illumination effect on the Tesseract in the last pic is awesome.

 

[Rheul01]

I was thinking of rigging a table or podium to illuminate the cube from beneath... But I'm a lazy, lazy man...

Thanks. It's just using a UV torch. In the first image you can see the torch reflected in my PC monitor and in the second, the torch is on the far left, shining on the cube.

 

[SilverStar17]

Yes, I noticed that in the first image.

Gives the cube an awesome effect.
