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

[Perceptor]

I don't know if its popped up in the golden age or this thread before, but just a word of caution regarding the shield. The straps can be pretty fragile so careful when putting them on his arm. Both my golden age and 2pk blue shield had a strap come loose.

Yup it happened to my GA Cap. I superglued the strap back on and no issues since. Also watch for the triangle pieces coming off too. Again superglue fixed that for me. Thanks to username for helping fix HT flaws lol

Damn, they REALLY shrunk the shoulders on this thing, his head is comically oversized for that body now, that is a bummer.

Just got the figures, I like the way the strike suit looks. The suit feels very restrictive, cant move his arms at all without worrying something is gonna rip or tear. The steve rogers figure is awesome though.

Still think I prefer GA Cap. But that also might be because I have him.

I have him too but I think I will like this figure more. We will see how this ends up and if its better than the STRIKE cap come final product

finally got mine. Wow, I cant believe how horribly restricted the movment was initially. I ended up removing the fatsuit, and bulking up the midsection and crotch to fill in the pants. Pretty happy with the result

when the figure arrive, it was very disappointing..... T__T pretty much like a statue. The arm does NOT bend nor able to raise up......, I had to do some major modification.
- reshape the inner fat suit
- reshape the inner dark suit that connect to both arm sleeves
- loosen the sleeves from the inner arms (cant believe HT glued it together)
(sorry, no WIP picture, it was not easy to remove the suit again.....)

Benefit
- arms able to raise now
- abs are more flat and able to recreate the abs crease
- more potability

Looks great. How did you reshape the undersuit with the arms attached?

 

[TonyMeis]

I took the sleeves off, cut half of the white fat suit, and half of the blue inner suit.

Sounds good. Which half of the inner suit did you cut? Like, did you chop off the bottom?

Can the final UNmodded product do this in any shape form or fashion and look natural?

 

[chilipep66]

no way man, the unmodded ones arms pretty much cant move forward, up, down, inwards, or outwards. They just sit there in this super awkward 45 degree angle..
