This is still my favourite suit, but damn it looks crap in comparison to AOU version.

Would pick up a MOS body if i could as that seems to make a massive improvement

Here's a comparision of a moded suit (original body) with MOS side by side. I doubt if you can fit the MOS body - the arm piece is very tight.
If you can make the original cap body drop the shoulders, he's got good proportions and looks similar to AOU cap. Though I had to partially damage the suit to get this (so I wouldn't recommend it to anyone), I am happy with the way he looks now.

Thanks for the info buddy, thats a wicked pic by the way.
Cap is looking awesome! was it literally just sorting the shoulders out?

That was achieved by the fat suit removal + dropping the shoulders + chest padding with a pair of plastic spoon heads and some cotton .
For lowering the shoulders, I had to cut the rubber like blue suit inside to get those to drop - but I don't recommend it. In certain poses like this and anything where the arm is raised, I can hide the damage. But if I drop the arm completely, the gap in the shoulder shows up.

Rightio, Thank you for your advice, Initially I was put off picking this up, but thanks to you and other members on this thread you have showed me how it can be made to look fab, So I will pick it up sometime soon and try to achieve something like yours!

They just padded the suit differently, pretty quick and easy fix.
...
Yeah but the suit on the proto was on a bigger body, whereas the suit on the AOU is on the same body but they padded it to make certain areas bugle out like the chest. The AOU version still lacks muscle definition around the shoulders and torso it is all padding that is making the torso have a V shape look.
...

I did a bit of research on this some time back. Pics below are from ebay postings. It is the way they have stitched the arm piece to the blue rubbery shirt inside that makes a big difference. The one on AOU has enough space to allow the shoulder to be lowered. But the one on TWS one is like wearing a shirt that is too tight

Hmmmmm.... thats interesting
It certainly seems like the AOU suit is more structured around the neck ans shoulder area, it looks rigid, where as TWS one looks loose and baggy, either way the tailoring on that part of the suit is only a small improvement. I think most of the improved articulation comes from the modifications of the undersuit, but I'm guessing

Thanks for the pics but I think there is more to it than that. For instance, if you look at the bottom pic on the left there appears to be padding in the chest area, it is grey in color( inside the area of the red square I drew). Whereas, the WS shirt on the left has no padding at all in that area and is completely flat.




This grey padding in that area is why his chest sticks out, maybe it is possible to pad the the WS shirt by using the same AOU padding to get the same effect.

The one on AOU has enough space to allow the shoulder to be lowered. But the one on TWS one is like wearing a shirt that is too tight

Well it's good they fixed that part up.

It sucks that they'll probably never go back to this figure but I really can't help but keep getting reminded of HT dropping the ball on his costume, especially when I had him next to my AoU Cap. I had to move him somewhere else

Yeah apart from the head sculpt, it just looks like two different people, one big guy and one average sized guy. It does suck that they will not make a 2.0 version, since they did with TDK figures.

Yeah but I heard you can't zip the vest up. Is that true?

 

[spiderbo]

No but between the Belt, pants and shoulder harness it doesn't move.

So even though the vest can't be zipped up, the belt and Harness prevent it from moving?

Yes sir. Or at least it has with mine.

What did you use to cut off the neck? Was it easy?
