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

[Anzik]

I printed out a picture of the Hydra logo and laid a piece of clear contact paper over it and traced it with a thin sharpie. Then cut it out with a razor knife, placed it on the fabric to act as a frisket and dabbed black fabric paint on it.

Sweet. And very clever.
Well done there.

It's just a blacklight torch aimed at the cube. Really easy and cheap to do yourself.
Just search blacklight LED torch on Ebay and you will get one for only a few dollars.

I thought blacklights emit harmful UV that would damage figures and fabrics?

Well, it's not like they are shone on the figures 24/7, lol. Red Skull has had maybe three minutes of total exposure from me with those UV LED torches.
And sunlight contains UV, so my Red Skull has had WAAAY more UV from that than my torches have given it!

Anybody know of a good dye to use for the suit? Which color works best?

Been going back and forth over this figure for ages. Finally gave in and bought one

Arriving tomorrow, (bugger, going to work - I'll be at home, still, I'll get him Thursday)

Was digging around in my "bits box" looking for a suitable body for the Red Skull head sculpt, and found an old 3A Zomb I'd painted up in red!
Hoping the colour match is close, I can have a "shirtless" RS if the fancy takes me!

Also reckon the Kerberos Protect Gear troopers make pretty good Hydra troops! Might have to pick up some more of them.

Sorry pics are crappy iPhone, it's late, I'm off to bed, when RS arrives ill take some nice ones with a real camera.

I believe he said he will of he needed to but he doesn't think RedSkull will be coming back anytime soon.

Yeah, I really liked weaving as red skull as well. It is a very nice figure and both head sculpts are great.

LOL, The "Hydra" Troopers are made by Takara. There actually From a Japanese Manga called Kerberos or Red Spectacles or something..... very cool and fit right in.

Can anyone say whether the cube with this guy is the same as the one that comes with Nick fury. Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere

It's the same cube.

Yea the Hydra troops are Panzer Cops from Kerberos/Jin-Roh : The Wolf Brigade. Sweet anime that is. They look awesome.

Ebay might be your only bet, unless you can find someone here on the forum parting a figure out.
It happens.
But it's unlikely at this stage.
