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

[ShadowX81]

Man this figure is cool.

So I found a little extra room in my budget this month, and can either buy this or the new Iron Man Mark 2. What do you guys think I should go with?

Red skull all the way The mark 2 is kinda boring as there is soooooo many ironmans out there, but theres only one redskull and he can easly be made into two figures so its a better value IMO. Anyway I just recevied mine today I haven't opened him yet but I can't wait to dig in. He is likely the best marvel villain ever made by hot toys

Thanks, I just put a little flashlight in the right spot then took the pic. It turned out pretty cool, I think I'm going to end up buying an extra hand then running a LED through it so i can pull off the same effect all the time.

I ran an LED through the cube. Came out very nice. Check it out.

Guys I need some help, I opened my red skull today, soooooooo awesome, Love it. However why in the f@#$ did they change the neck adapter? I opened a new truetype to make the second figure and the neck adapter that come with redskull is to small to fit on the truetype, and the neck adapter that comes wit the truetype is to big to fit in the redskull head WTF How are you guys doing it? what am I missing here? Do I have to buy the redskull body off ebay to make this work, I'm not into moding 200 dollar figures

 

[The Skull]

Heres a few pics of this awesome figure, He is so impressive just wish they did'nt change the neck adapter, such an inconvenance to have to buy another body off ebay instead of just poping it on one of there truetypes But anyway that aside I highly recommend this guy everything is top notch, a stunning piece

 

[rhboyd]

is it IMPOSSIBLE to get the overcoat on this guy, or am I doing something wrong?? stupid sleeves all bunching up and being SO difficult!!

ideas?!?!
-r.

 

[Buttmunch]

Take the grey jacket off. But the sleeves through the coat. Then put the doubled sleeves on the figure and button up. Pull on the Hyrda belt a bit to stretch it out and it should fit better as well.

 

[rhboyd]

yeah... I can see that... but the belt on the grey uniform isn't supposed to come undone, right???

 

[Buttmunch]

No, I meant the belt that goes over the black overcoat, not the one attached to the grey shirt.

 

[rhboyd]

yeah... but you said to take off the grey coat... so must undo the belt, no??

 

[Buttmunch]

Yeah, that just unbuttons. No need to take it off though. Nothing difficult there at all.

 

[rhboyd]

groovy.
thanks for the help, BM... and for the patience!!

You can also just remove the inner ring inside the neck and a regular neck adapter from another Truetype will fit. Got the tip from Mah:

What i did was remove the second ring in the red skull sculpt with a screw driver. Then gently pounded the TTA adapter into the sculpt and popped it onto the TTA body. Actually quite easy and fits like it should.

No problem. It took me quite a while to fish those sleeves through the other sleeves and then to warm up the belt enough to stretch enough to close around the black coat. Definately a tight fit, but it looks really nice when all is said and done. I almost wish he had come suited up in the black coat just to avoid the hassle. But at least he wasn't Barney Ross hard to put together That stupid thing had the dumbest design for a vest. They didn't make the zipper functional so you had to undo the side straps to get the vest on instead Worst idea EVER!

Thanks for the response, I was starting to think my question was lost in past pages of this thread Thats a good option, I will concider it but is it glued inplace, I don't like messing to much with these ex*****ive figures like that. This red skull has become one of my top five hot toys and I don't want to mess him up but I'm also not looking forward to paying ebay prices for the RS truetype ether why oh why did they change the neck adapter, what purpose does that serve sorry to sound like a whinny collector but this seems an unnessaserry change.

If you stick the head in a cup of boiling water for a few minutes that little bottom piece will pop right off. No screwdriver required.
