Easy is a big word. I'm not the best "customizer" but I was able to do it. I just used an Excto knife. Heated the head and cut it out.
Mine is actually for sale here on the boards.

So I see, will you be taking anymore pics of it? It would be good to see a full shot of the figure.

No problem man, all good, don't want you to go out of your way.

Oh I didn't care about that, just want to see him on his own but the full figure.
Well as long as it isn't too much of a hassle for you.

I know everyone in the U.S. (Well not everyone) is eagerly awaiting AoU Cap but since I've had mine a few days after it was released in HK I decided to take advantage of the low prices of Stealth Cap and Steve. It's a bit over the top, but then again, so am I but I own 2-2 packs and 2 single packs. So that means I have 4 Stealth Caps and 2 Steve Rodgers.
After making a quick modification to "beef up" skinny little Avengers 1 Cap by wrapping the chest area with some cotton bandaging. I did this in a cris-cross pattern around the chest and decided to remove the fat suit from Stealth Cap and then do the same thing I did with Avengers 1 Cap. As you'll see in the picture, I was able to bulk up both A1 Cap and Stealth Cap while also retaining some bulk and much more articulation.
I also decided to take one of the Steves and give him a "make over", lol. I was aiming for the outfit he was wearing after almost getting blown up inside Zola and his fight with Bucky. This isn't a kitbash (I am doing a WWII one soon though) but a complete change of clothes, boots and shield.
Sorry for the long explanation but I'd really like to hear your thoughts please! By the way, I know he wasn't wearing a leather jacket during that scene but I just liked the look. Oh yeah and the Stealth Cap on the left is untouched.

Great pics. And the Steve figure looks good. Was he wearing a purple shirt in the movie?

The shirt is dark blue. Post processing just made it have a purpleish look but I can assure you that it is indeed 100% blue.
WOW...why is this set now 30% off????
To screw everyone who bought it. And because everyone abandoned it for the AOU version.
That is why you really screw them by getting all the Caps!!!

Probably because of the lack of bulk in the chest and shoulders. And the lack of articulation.

Awesome tip, thx! Just bought my 3rd set, lol! In my book, one can never have too many Caps or Iron Men!

If you're on a budget! Sorry to say but I've already received 2 of 4 AoU Caps.

I can't decide if I should pick up the two pack from Sideshow since I received the promo code for 30% off or if I should get the Age of Ultron version. I like the newer suit slightly more but this set is a better value with that promo.
