Hot Toys - MMS174 - The Avengers: 1/6th scale Captain America Offical Specs and Pics

Agreed he's so awesome. I do prefer the Evans sculpt to the masked one tho. But that's cool since he doesn't wear it in most the movie anyway

 

[Lumos]

What do you guys think of the unmasked sculpt on the new Winter Soldier figure compared to this one?

They both look good to me. Just a tad pale, but otherwise, it's definitely Chris Evans. If it wasn't, I wouldn't have even bothered to pre-order them.

And yeah, the Avengers Chris Evans sculpt is awesome. I actually put it on my TFA Cap because I wanted to have him like he looks on the main movie poster.

Ordered the set. After seeing the movie tonight (more on that in the movie thread later....suffice to say,EXCELLENT)....and while these figures look great, my only nit with the Steve Rogers figures is....shouldn't he have on khakis instead of jeans? I don't even remember him wearing jeans in the movie....and I'd really like to see him in khakis,,,,want to display him locked in hand-to-hand with Winter Solider (that broad daylight fight on the street was fantastic). Wish they would include some environment stands....broken up street or whatnot...

While I appreciate good photography, I wish Hot Toys wouldn't "sweeten" the shots up with photoshopping on the figure itself....hiding that neck joint is not cool...the sculpts are great, we know these are figures...let us see how they really are....

Okay, mini -rant over....really looking forward to this set.

Potential spoilers...

I had mentioned this before as well. He's wearing a different civilian set in that encounter. He wears this one when he first encounters WS and chases him through the building to the rooftop. I want to recreate that same scene since I was a part of it.

Got mine a few weeks ago, never bothered to post pics since I'm lazy. Great figure, articulation is a pain though but probably my favorite costume. Bought him new off ebay for $240

Looks great. But you need to spray that shield. I can already see the miniscule cracks around the edges!

Spray? I thought it was a clear paint coating? Maybe I have been looking for the wrong thing...

It's a flat clearcoat.
But it comes in a spray can.

 

[FSLAR]

Yeah I've noticed too, I need to fix him and maybe my Mark VII a little as well. Gotta look up how to exactly fix up the shield...

 

[Ninjaknight]

Someone was saying the clearcoat just delays the flaking. Any truth to this yet for those who have coated their shield?

Just think about it, the paint is flaking because it doesn't adhere very well to the chromed shield. Putting another layer on top will help hold it together, but it won't make the original paint adhere any better to the base layer. Eventually large enough sections will be loose and the clear coat on top won't be strong enough to hold it all in one piece. The clear coat is a bandaid, if you want to actually fix the problem you have to strip the shield and repaint it.

It's easy for someone to really screw something up when you tell them to "just spray". You can get runs and junk in the finish by not doing it properly. I've seen pictures posted here that look like *** because the shield wasn't prepped correctly.

Hi man! Can you post pictures to see how your battled damaged shield turned out after the coat with tamiya Ts-79? I'm planning on use your technique to coat mine! Thanks!

Great pose! I'm feeling the same way, really nice figure.. Passing on all Cap figures until the next avengers One comes out

 

[Shawpaw]

I really do like this suit. I know it's cartoonish but it's a great comic adaptation. I'm never selling mine. But I will buy more caps

 

[JorReno]

I guess I'm the only one who loves the red boots and gloves...
