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

Anyone else having a heck of a time re-latching the belt. I've tried to do it from a bunch of different angles I just can't get it to snap back together. Any help would be much appreciated.

The big belt from the jacket? If it is, you want to get a cup of boiling water handy, take the belt off, gently fold it(So both ends are between your thumb and forefinger, for instance), and dip the "middle"(Folded) part of the belt in the boiling water for maybe thirty seconds(Only put an inch or so of the belt in the water). Once you have done that, use a cloth and quickly dry it off, re-thread the belt into the jacket, and you will have some room for expansion with the warmed part giving you "a bit of slack". Just put one finger behind the belt hole part and one finger on top of the buckle, and push them together. Your finger under the part with the hole will mean they will go together easily enough.

I just pulled and attached it, maybe you should workout your triceps.

It comes with a slim(Wearing a fatsuit), so you can pretty much put anything in the costume.
I have $15 bootleg bodies in my four.

this is mine...knockoff body, random suit underneath....kick butt hs and jacket from username...
love this figure..glad i got him...

Here's mine. Took this shot recently. Love how the light hit the cube. I used a TTL body (2.0 I think) and a cheap german suit/boots underneath on Red Skull sculpt. Cut off the sleves of the german outfit underneath, so arms would slide through leather jacket easier, and took a red sharpie to the white lines on the collar to match the jacket. Was happy to set up a 2nd fig for cheap, and have both on display.

I purchased my Red Skull already with his German dress outfit on and the trenchcoat on over the top.
I'm nervous of taking off the coat for fear of jacking it up when I put it on another body. Glad this thread is here for encouragement.

Ok so just got this guy. What do I need to know I about putting the jacket on him?

 

[dms54nyc]

Not too much man the instructions say it all. Just use care. The belt is the trickest part but its not that bad.

Would've been interested in the boots maybe a year ago. But be careful, you have to be a premium member to sell or advertise or you'll hear it from the mods, just a heads up

Thanks for the heads up. Totally forgot. Rectified.

Red skulls is still a bad a55 figure!

I just ordered him after finding a decent price. I'm debating whether or not I want to display him with the coat.

He is best with the coat, but putting it on is literally the worst chore ever (tied with Jill's coat)

do both! its very cheap to have a full 2nd figure to display with if you build one!

the coat was no isssue for me... i just took a little scotch tape and wrapped around the end of the arms w/o the hands pegged on... they slide right through...
and the belt is easy if you just use a pair of tweezers to hold the end in place instead of your fingers while you hook it...

Red Skull rocks! I've heard about the the belt/jacket problem but I had no problem with mine. It was a bit tight but some patience and futzing did the trick.

Love that center Cap in that pose
