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

[WhoaItsJBot]

Right I know the head sculpt for the AoU Cap is the same as this one with a slightly different paint job, but something I can't decide on (and this may be a stupid question) from looking through this thread is does this one have Rogers eye line looking towards the left like on the AoU prototype?

I don't have Rogers in hand yet but I'm pretty sure he's looking forward. To the left is unique to the AoU sculpt

So even with the dock slow down other things are getting through, but this 2 pack was released before Starboost and Igor....how did they get ahead of the 2 pack?

The container with these could be buried under others and taking longer to get to.

I need to go back and look at Hyatt's mod.

I will save you the trouble.

Here it is.

The only mod I heard about for this fig is removing the fat suit.

Speaking of the fat suit, I have found away to prevent it from distorting the shape of the torso. I will post pics later.

My DX12 has a custom cape, painted eyes on the HT Headsculpt in the lower part of the mask it is flesh colored instead of black, and a custom faceplate i ordered.

For MOS there is the cape mod for Tony's cape, and the mod to move the S shield closer to the collar of the suit. Both involved more skill than I think I have, so I stayed away from them.

Wow I didn't know they were moving the shield as well as the collar, like you I don't think I have the skill to do that either.

I got mine from Kit. She posted the following images on her facebook page and that's what prompted me to get a pile of them.

Not bad considering it is less than $30 as it looks pretty identical to Hot Toys one.

Despite adding bubblewrap on the chest, the chest doesnt look much bigger.. But i cant add more as the zip wldnt close...

So i think of removing the fat suit at the abdomen area only.. Wil it help to make the chest look bigger n create a v shape body?

Yeah. I think I gotta pick up a couple. Running out of rescue uniform sculpts.

Removing the fat suit on the lower torso (lower ab area) will make the chest look bigger and will create a subtle V shape but it will not create that perfect V shape the proto has unfortunately.

Anyway here is a pic I took of it when I did it.

Oh you can't have that.

I think its just a moderate improvement, although its an improvement nonetheless.....

Yeah I would agree with that, the body is just too skinny and the abs on the lower torso don't have the right shape to make a huge improvement like the Reeve body has.

 

[bransen2099]

Agreed it is an improvement, but one not worth opening this guy up and modding. Great mods tho but imo it's ok, the tailoring on the suit still detracts

Yes if I had the figure I would be OK with it, just stick the Shield in his hand and cover up the chest area

Yes I know which is why I came up with this mod.





Now the fat suit doesn't distort the shape of the torso and the suit will fit tightly now. However, the V shape will be even less apparent since the waist still has the padding which makes the ab area the same size. This just makes the torso have a natural shape instead of being straight like ruler. It may also make the chest protrude out more, since the rubber band is pushing the lower ab area in.

 

[WhoaItsJBot]

How does that look with the suit on, Darkavatar?

Also, anyone that's cut the abs out of the fat suit, can you post pics of where exactly you cut? I'm thinking of doing it and want it to look as good as possible.

I put the suit on earlier today, it wasn't great it just looked like a normal torso now. Can't remember if the chest protruded though. I will have to put the suit on again. Will post pics later.

Does this help?

No no not the fat suit, the actual stealth suit. It doesn't contour to the body like the actual suit

How are you guys getting the Stealth Suit completely off the figure? I thought there was no way to remove it without damaging the costume?

good question hehe.....

So you cut out the space from under the pecs to the waist, is that it?

I was under the impression the suit had snaps and zippers, which is the only reason I'd do the mod. I didn't want to cut or sew anything.

I have that same problem, lol.

On ClipperKing;s mod vid, he says the shirt part does not fully come off. He said he tried and there was no way to get it off, so you had to cut the fat suit off. If it can come off. do you guys think that the Man of Steel body would work? He is pretty big.
