I received my shipping notice from Simply Toys. Cap should be here on Friday! I think I am going to be hitting the trifecta this Friday as Cap, PCS He-Man and Sideshow's Superman PF are all scheduled to arrive. 
Of course I will be opening Cap first.

Just got mine delivered this morning I'm not going to post a bunch of pictures as my camera sucks and other people have posted some high quality ones already, but I will give a small review...
The box that Capt. comes in is high quality, the Styrofoam inside is cut to hold the various pieces perfectly, there is no movement. I love the straps far improvement over the standard shipping tape most companies use to secure the bottom and top half of the box. I was really surprised at how heavy this statue is, it's defiantly a solid piece, I think this also helps with reducing any chance of breakage during shipping as this statue is not fragile at all. The paint application is near perfect for a hand painted statue, I did notice a few minor hiccups though.
As you see above there was a very small chip on the glove, in the picture it looks like glare but trust me it's chip, it's extremely small and you can only notice it if you put your face literally right up against the statue. the camera is zoomed in on it so it looks bigger then it really is.
The second issue I saw was the silver paint was a bit sloppy on the belt buckle. you can see where it overlaps a little bit over the blue pants and little bit of the black belt.
Again these are really minor issues and only noticeable if you look really close. Everything else on the statue was perfect, so overall I'm extremely happy with this statue. But I wanted to be honest with my review so that's why I mentioned those two small items.
The Accessories are really nice but given all the stuff their giving you with Black Widow I feel they might of added 1 or more extras, maybe like the right hand holding a WW2 gun or his left hand holding two fingers out like he's pointing the way for the attack instead of the closed fist we got.. again a very minor gripe.
Score:
Shipping Box: 10/10
Paint Application: 9.8/10
Sculpt: 10/10
Statue Quality (feel of the statue): 10/10
Extra Accessories: 9/10
I guess the real question most people in North America want to know is if this statue is worth 2 Sideshow 1:4 scale PF's? If your a collector who prizes quality and rareness above everything else then I would say yes it's worth 2 of Sideshows PF's, but if your an average Joe collector who doesn't take a magnifying glass to your statues to examine the heck out of them and doesn't care about rareness or prefers Mix Media, then the answer is probably no.
Bought it from Speculative Fiction https://www.specfictionshop.com/

Congrats Dan your Cap looks amazing. My item is out for delivery and I'm waiting patiently. 
BTW for any considering who to order from, I just received this from Secretcompass.
Greetings XM enthusiasts!. After some initial confusion regarding XM's first piece shipping (Captain America) regarding dropshipping, exchange rates, ect. we have a no hassle solution to getting these pieces delivered to our customers. Hulk, Black Widow, and Iron Man Mark XLII are listed at $769.95 + shipping and the shipping will be calculated as though the item was leaving our shop in Colorado, which will be around $30 - $40 to most US addresses and around $100-$140 to most international addresses. Please keep in mind the figures will still dropship from Singapore and will still cost Secret Compass $200-$300 to do so but we will absorb the added costs of shipping into what we make on each statue. This is a significant loss of revenue for us but we aim to earn your continued business and bring on NEW business in the global market for XM figures. In addition, we do guarantee everything we sell against damages/defects/loss/theft at no extra cost to any customer. We look forward to doing business with you.

Great honest review and write up. Glad to see it came out beautifully as well. How would you rank it among the other 1:4 scale Caps that have been released and are to come?
