Hot Toys MMS243 - 1/6th scale Captain America & Steve Rogers

[K1NG J0RDAN]

Looks like the metal shields are back up on onesixthkit.

Has anyone received theirs yet? If it's back up does that mean they are shipping soon?

The shields they have listed now are from a different company/customizer. I believe the first ones they had are sold out. I just checked the tracking and my shield and Cap helmet should be in hand by Friday. I'll post pics when I get them.

Oh, they are different? Hmm

Just a heads up to the new collectors who are prolly not aware - onesixthkit sells fake, recasted items. So its 99.9% chance that the shield is prolly a recast/fake item too. They might even use a legit HT one for their pics, but send you something else. So be aware when buying from them.

Also, please do not put links for fake/bootleg item on the site. Thanks

Is the new mandate to not post ebay links to any item that is not 100% made by HT?
Just want to make sure so i don't violate it.
And is it just Kit that is singled out, or any sellers of heads that might not be genuine?

 

[Hydeous]

Well the rule is everyone in general. Just that we usually let it slide but this thing with Kit just blow up a few days ago on fb and osr, that I don't think we should allow sales of his stuffs or links to be sold here.

Just Kit? Kit sources her stuff from the same people that HP and all the other sellers do. She does not make the copies herself.
If this is that argument from FB about the guy accusing Kit herself about copying that Joker head, then surely we should lump in every seller swho carries that particular piece? Or is Kit singled out because she had posted it on FB and got atttacked by the mob?
I know Kit and have dealt with her a lot, and all she is doing is selling product sourced from where they all get their heads.
Right or wrong, someone that the guy who made the Joker head sold it to, gave the piece to someone who made copies. That person was not Kit(Kit has a sculptor who makes some unique heads for her, and also sources the backdoor bootlegs from the HT factory like the other sellers, but has no part in moulding herself.
Just FYI.

Yep, they sent my shields & helmets together. USPS shows it left San Fran on Tuesday. So I am hoping Friday/Saturday, too.

Tracking says that my shield is out for delivery today! Will post pics tonight.

 

[jedijim3002]

I paid for mine June 19th. Still haven't received it. Should I be concerned?

 

[adello25]

Got home from work late tonight so didn't't have time to really futz around with it but got my onesixthkit shield. Took a couple quick pics next to the Avengers Cap shield (my GA Cap comes tomorrow).

Shield has nice weight to it; 3.35oz vs .75oz for Avengers shield

Nice! What are those, around $30? I know I looked at their website but don't remember. Seems like a great alternative for those with flaking paint who don't have the skills to fix it. I'd strip my flaking shield and make it into an all silver one.

There are some grey areas here no doubt.

I will discuss this with Dave and the team and let you guys know

Anyone who frequents DC section should know Im no HT fanboy, but that piece by Kit's quality looks very poor and the straps etc looks really bad. Personally, I wouldnt want anything of that nature to be mixed with my HT/EB stuffs.

Front looks fine to me, would be an easy substitute if my shield crapped out.

Straps never get seen so that wouldn't bother me.

Agreed, it would look okay on its own but next to Hot Toy's it doesn't. From the back it looks especially bad... not that it would be seen but like you said I wouldn't want to mix.

Exactly how I feel. Who cares what the back looks like.

 

[guy66657]

Just add some Tamiya spray on the finish and hopefully it'll be great looking....unless it only works for plastics. XD

Back then it was a preorder.
Its only really hitting the streets right now, so you should have it shortly.
