This definitely shows you don't always need Far Out Bases to have an Amazing Statue.
Simple & elegant yet still has so much presence.

"Another recent acquisition from XM. It can't be bad if it's Cap and this is no exception. Simple, but well executed statue. Love the swap out and the portraits. My favorite is the classic Cap. Well done XM and thank you once again!"

XM includes so many switch out parts, I really wish they would've included a change out right arm... I like a lot of aspects of this statue but the salute is silly and makes the pose boring IMO
 
sorry to bump an old thread, just got this guy, BY FAR my favorite capt america of all time, the pose is so epic. The classic sideshow version just got bumped sorry ss!

But i can't decide whether to display the classic winged head or the modern head.

In the comics, does capt ever appear with the classic winged head AND the round shield? or does the winged head only go with the triangle shield?

I know i definitely want the round shield not classic triangle shield.

Agree with you. I saw a pic of SS Cap A and XM side by side. The XM has better paint, face sculpt and body muscle proportion as well.

He appeared with the wings forever. It's actually only a recent thing for them not to be that style.
 
This Cap is impressive, I broke down and ordered one yesterday. I've wanted a Captain America for my collection and this looks like the way to go.
It's nice but I believe the first XM is more dynamic for sure. Portraits on the new XM are amazing. I have a custom for my original and with the flag and change outs I'm just biased toward the original. I would take either XM to the SS PF Santa clause. When put side by side the SS is blocky and fat looking in pajamas. And I really like SS but take statues one at a time in opinion. Not a fan boy. Congrats on the XM.

"3 epic pieces. The actual height of these 3 from head to toe:

SS OG 18.5 inches
XM 1st Cap almost 19 inches
XM 2nd Cap 20 inches

That means the new XM Captain America will be 6’8” with wearing boots of the human size."

Great collection! I think the OG takes it but barely. I have it with the custom head which adds another element.
 
Really shows how the SSC statue is in a class all by itself.
Yeh the worst class. How can people pretend that the SS is dominant. Let's see crippled hand pose, chapped lips, porcelain like glossy portrait, bloated sculpt, and pajamas for suit. Nothing remotely like comic original cap. The original XM does have portrait issues but the screaming custom is great. The new XM honorary is fantastic. It kills me how people still pretend like the sideshow Santa claus is superior. No way an objective standard could say that.
 
For me, XM's original Cap is definitely better than their 2nd Cap. The 1st Cap is more dynamic ...and the legs on the 2nd Cap has skinny legs compared to its torso. Just my preference of course.
