Got home from work tonight and here he is, a day early. Thankfully my star wasnt crooked and he looks amazing!

Kinda disappointed Sideshow doesn't double-box though. This was my first order through them.

Just finished my Avengers Steve Rogers, I'm pretty happy about the way he turned out.

His build:
TFA Cap body
HT's hands and feet
Saturday Toys Tan suit pants and boots
Art Figures belt
ACI long sleeve shirt
Wild toys t-shirt
HT Indy jacket
PoS HT Avg Cap hood

nice steve! if you can also sew, probably slicing a couple of cm on the trousers will do more wonders for this custom

Thanks brother, I still have to put on the long ankle pegs that come Cap which will adjust the pants and make him taller.

How do you get the shield to stay on his back?

So far I've only seen my photos with the shield on his back. I just sewed a string across his zippier area and made to small 'S' links to hold the shield.

Has anyone tried the TFA brown belt on the Avengers Cap yet?

I love my Avengers Captain America, but hate the range of motion that is lost due to the uniform. For those who do not know I use my figure to preform Stop-motion animation, so my figures need to have a great range of motion for posing. I also did not like that my Cap seemed to be lacking in the chest area. So I padded his chest with one packing peanut for each side. I also did the same thing for the lats.

Okay here's the solution I used for the lack of range in the shoulders and hips. After I completed the padding procedure and breaking the zipper (Twice) Luckily I fixed it. This was not easy and I'm dumbfounded how the shirt can be removed with out the zipper coming off. Okay I got the zipper back on but was having quite the time pulling the zipper down all the way because of the padding. Then I remember that denim stretches when it's wet. Sooooo I put a little water on the shirt and it went right back together. Then I started to think "Maybe I can get the shirt to loosen up so i could raise his arms up". That worked too. I let the shirt dry with his arms up so it would retain the stretch. It worked. So then I did the same thing to the crutch ares and had him do a sidekick. That worked too. So the conclusion is: put a little water on the suit, pose him, let dry in the pose, and now your Avengers Cap has a great range of motion. See pics below.

Hey, does anyone know how well the ACI andrew body fits cap? Is he muscular enough it in? Also, the neck peg is detachable from the head sculpt for steve rogers correct?

 

[chubbyman]

Anyone shed some light please?

 

[steve74]

I don't know about the ACI body but the neck peg does come off of the Rogers' HS

Well, you got you TFA, put your hand around the HS, pull it, then you got the avengers Rogers HS and pull in on the TFA body.

TA DAM!

Wow that's pretty awesome. Can you post more pics of Cap doing a dynamic pose? I might have to try this.

 

[DocTroy]

Well, thats not correct. I need a peg for the Rogers HS for my FA fig.

Is the crooked star a common problem for this figure?

 

[DGTWoodward]

Is the crooked star a common problem for this figure?

It has cropped up about half a dozen times so far. There may be more as this really begins to ship from all the online retailers.

Is the crooked star a common problem for this figure?

Mines is slightly off but not nearly enough to worry about it. If ClipperKing didn't first mention it I would have never known.

Um.. Why do your female figures have their heads wrapped in plastic?

 

[steve74]

Probably to keep their hair in place and nice looking.

Um.. Why do your female figures have their heads wrapped in plastic?

Excellent question. I use my figures for stop-motion animated projects. I keep the plastic on the female heads to keep their hair nice and neat and from poofing out over time.
