[peterparkernypd]

Pics as promised:

Damm, this shield is a beauty! I could kill for it!

Any chance you make one of those by comission?

 

[bransen2099]

I would wait and see how Avengers AOU Cap turns out, and then decide

Or get both I'm getting both

 

[The Rage]

So what are the physical issues with this figure that everyone is disappointed about?

It seems the most appropriate and common answer to that question would be..... too many
The actual answer would be 49, after I get TWS Black Widow and Heartbreaker next week

Jeez I just realized I will be adding 5 Guardians + Thanos, 11 confirmed figures from AOU, 2 more on the 'to-get' list, DOFP Wolverine, Deadpool, Marty, Briareos MKIII + MKIII Construct, Striker, Arkham Batman, 2 predators, whatever TF exclusives come out this year and about 6 Star Wars figures

oh and Baby Groot 1/4

That puts my 10 to shame lol. 12 whenever the Cap 2-pack comes in.

How do you display them all?

Which will all remain NISB.

haha
They are easy to display in there shippers .... I prefer to keep them in mint condition so I keep the majority of them in storage
I will however be opening and displaying my Age of Ultron Collection after I'm done with the line, thats gonna be exciting

Yeah, but lately I have been opening the box to check them(based on a recommendation I got here) so they are not sealed, but I tape the brown shipper back up

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Probably a good idea to open them up and give them the eyeball test at least once, what with QC concerns and all.

agreed
Has anyone seen a full Captain America:Winter Soldier figure lineup yet?

What's so funny?

 

[hunterelf]

i split the pack with a frd and got my steve rogers yesterday, overall i'm quite impressed, the likeness is pretty good and i'm surprised the shield is actually made of metal!
my concern is that the metal shield is gonna wear the arm joint over time and weaken the joint, probably gonna just leave it in neutral position after i'm done with the photo shootings.

one thing i didn't like is the neck joint keeps creeping over the neck collar, kinda lame IMO, shoulda gone with double jointed necks.

 

[Edub]

If anyone is looking to split the 2 pack with me and save some money I'm looking for the Stealth Suit Cap. Don't really care about civilian Steve

 

[Medusoid]

I have a feeling we'll eventually see some discounts on this set since the next Cap is about to be put up for order. I'm gonna wait it out.

I tried a new pose today, something a little different to test out the articulation. No modding was done to this figure. It's really not that bad with a bit of patience and futzing.

I think it should be obvious by just looking at these comparison pics.

Proto




Product



The body is tiny, the shoulders look incredibly flat, he just isn't muscular, whereas the prototype had a broad torso and broad shoulders. IMO This is the worst disappointment (body wise) since the MMS71 fat TDK Batman. Hot Toys either makes bodies too big or too skinny.

Congrats on pulling off this pose, trust me the last thing you want to do is mod that rubber suit to try and pull off poses. :
