Yeah, the majority of Truetype bodies are connected that way, though the joints are usually tighter on figures that aren't given alternate forearms.

I guess I must've loosened it up a lot when messing around with this guy. At least I'm glad to know it's somewhat reconnected and not just loose and held up by the fabric/uniform. Thanks!

I became tired of the little blue gym shorts he's wearing and (taking my inspiration from the Allied Charge on Hydra PF) gave him some proper pants.
I may dye them a darker blue in the future.
Okay, color me intrigued. Is it possible to switch over the gloves/gauntlets and boots from The First Avenger Figure to this one as well?

Definitely an improvement, but if you could dye those pants to make them a darker blue to match the top.....

Anyone tried the Steve Rogers Head (from the Cap Stike + Steve set) on this figure?
Really want to see how it would look...

It will be a bit too big. I have some coming this week. I'll post pics. But it will not be pretty...

Nice! You got the customs or the official HT ones?
Yeah, i remember seeing the HT SR head on a TFA Cap and it looked oversized. Even on GA Cap with bulk removed it looked kinda big, which is why I'm keeping my GA Cap stock. The TFA figures didn't really have as much padding as the new ones, or if it did, it was in the wrong places, like his belly...
I have ten of the custom ones on the way. But it's the same head as the HT one. Just with a slightly different paint job.

Did you clean out the eBay stock, Barry? There are like no more left there upon search!
Lol. Not sure. I just emailed kit for them.
You better remove that link. No-one is allowed to link to Kits site. Any links get removed by Mods for some reason.

Copy that.
No worries. I am not sure the exact problem. But i have posted a few links and had them removed. So i just stopped posting links and PM them instead.
Kit posted a few pics on FB of a custom done with the Steve head that sold me on it. So my plan is to replace all the Rescue sculpts on my unmasked Cap figures.
Here are the pics of the custom head that sold me on it:

Amazing! Even the paint job looks almost exactly like HT, at least when not super up close I imagine.
Looks good enough for me.
Plus, a couple of my Cap figures are on bodies that will require the neck removed on the headsculpt, so i didn't want to do that to a $100 HT head.
Well, my ten Steve Rogers bootleg sculpts arrived today. To be honest, on the SSM, it doesn't look as bad as i had first feared. A small amount of fettling would need to be done to the shoulder area to raise it up to meet with the neck if you were going to display the figure like this on a regular basis(A couple of simple pads inserted on either side of the neck to raise the shoulders).
And even if, in the pics below, the head looks too large, in person, with the human eye, it looks great.
It *looks* big on Avengers Cap...
But it would appear to be a lens issue, so see the next pic after this one.
Bad lighting, but notice that from a distance, the lens issue shows to be misleading.
And SSM with a bit of shoulder padding(Hastily thrown in there):
And on my custom Super Soldier figure:
A comparison with the rescue sculpt shows the face and head are the exact same size *except* for the larger hair sculpt. I had them side by side and with the exception of the fact that the rescue sculpt has flattened hair, they are very similar sculpts.

Dude, you should send all of those pics to the people who sell that head.

Well, i'd only send the pics to Kit!
Good idea though. I will take clean pics in my detolf and send them tomorrow.

I would think that would really help them sell more heads.
Good thinking.
I am photo bombing the Cap threads right now, lol.
All are figure specific.
Here are the SSM ones:

Is the suit easy to remove? Does it require any cutting or is it a simply undress? I think my arm is broken, I jammed it back into the slot (I assumed it was similar to the Tony Stark body where you can remove the forearm at the elbow joint) but it still feels loose, as the figure took a fall recently by accident. Was gonna get a new muscular body it was easy to take off and put back on but I remember reading about the star being screwed onto the chest or something like that.
