When I see for the first time the Red Skull statue by Bowen, I fond of this interpretation.
But I can't buy all the proders I like, and my desicion is to buy only the 12-inch Action Figures.
But an idea came into my mind : Why not take a 12-inch figure and do a Custom (You can see it in : http://universmarvel.com/forum/index.php/topic,8227.0.html).

But I can't create a Red Skull Custom without his most famous adversary :
Captain America

I don't wish to use a classic version like the 12-inch Rotocast by Toybiz :

... or another interpretation like the Captain Action 12-inch Collection

... or the fan's products

I have some 12-inch Figures frome the WWII, but only fiction people (Indiana & Henry Jones [Relic Hunter and Custom], Nazi Kroenen by Sideshow, Rocketeer by Medicom), and I wish to have a rack with the WWII topic.
It was the first reason to draw aside the modern version of the Cap.

Another reason is that I hope to have a very impressive version, really realist ... in one word : the Ultimate version of Captain America like in the comic-book Ultimates#1.
This version exists in the collection Marvel Select :

After a research of the materials and military clothing by Dragon or BBI, and modifications of the jacket (color, star), the trousers (color, pockets) and helmet (color, symbols), and creation of the shield and the mask, you can now see the it :

That is awsome. Did you use the ML Icons Steve Rogers head for him?

No, I didn't have it in hand (I'm living in France and it's not distributed at this time).
I chosen to use the Spike's Sideshow Figure.

Excellent job! Hey even the blue fabric has some implied stripes in it. Good choice of Cap too, I also prefer the WW2 MS look.

You could make a mint if you sold these, I know I'd definitely buy one. Excellent craftsmanship!
