I have to admit, I prefer how this looks, to how IM-III hit me. I am one of the bunch that felt that IM-III was mainly nonsensical noise and lights.

And we got like 37 figures from that movie! So we should at least get 2-3 from Cap, right?

Well it happened.
I woke up this morning to look at my CA:TFA figure and his shield had flakes and spider cracks.
I went out and bought some high gloss clear coat and sprayed all my Caps shields now.
It dries in 15 minutes so that's a plus.
It's a cool,low humidity,windy day so I did them outside.
I did 1 coat already,went out and checked it and it was totally dry.
I added the second coat,I'm going to check it in a few minutes.
Then I'll add a 3rd coat.
I hope that's enough to save them.

Is the paint issue only with the cap tfa figures? I only have the avengers version. Did they fix the issue for this one or is it the same shields for all.?

I'm guessing the Avengers version will have the same issues.
I clear coated both Avengers shields to be safe.

Perhaps the new Cap figure will have a diecast shield so they can just paint it normally and not have to replicate the metallic look.

We can only hope!
I have two Cap Avengers shields and 1 TFA shield and no of them are cracking/flaking (I shouldn't have said anything; watch they all start tomorrow 
)
Is it only the glossy one that has the issue or does the BD one too?

Just a quick thought on this, surely the amount of secure adhesion strength of the gloss coat to the shield, will depend solely on how well the original paint is secured to the shield...?
The top gloss coat is only going to stick to the already loose (original and flaking) paint, not the shield itself...

Is there any spray that can be used that won't dull the shield?

Gloss coating it should work the same as semi gloss wont it? It should still be shiny then.
Well 12 said he used a semi gloss and his pics show the shield looking dull. 
Following the success of my previous post asking for the Iron Man i'm now looking for a HT Captain America Avengers MMS 174.
I'm in the UK so would prefer to buy it from the UK or EU for shipping and tax reasons.
I'm looking for one that is still sealed and never opened in a mint box with the plastic bag, preferably with the original shipper (which can have been opened).
I'm willing to pay a fair price but it has to be below eBay or else i would just go there instead since you won't be paying any fees selling from here. Send me a PM with the details and price. Thanks for reading.

Check the B/S/T section of this forum. Often times there are members here that sell there stuff at reasonable prices, much better than what you'll find on eBay! Good luck with your hunt.
