1/6 Custom Captain America figure - Comic Book Version

Decided to give it's own thread, so that I can post more pictures. It's pretty much the Same as the one in the "Show your custom Marvel" thread but more and better pics. (Different camera) Oh, and a different shield.

JEEBUS CHRIST!!!! That's awesome!!!

Repped

Ok, what's the build recipe?

Why can't these damn companies just see that there is a huge 1:6 niche going completely unaddressed. Good high quality comic based figures...both DC & Marvel. In the age of "Spli-censing", you'd think some company would be all over this.

Nice work! Great interpretation of Cap!

Is that a Sideshow Batman figure body?

Thanks.

The build recipe is:

Head by Tony Mei, painted by galactiboy
Sideshow Superman body with slightly modded ankles
Tony Mei suit (the striped undershirt got damaged, so I used the Hot Toys CA Rescue version shirt)
The boots and gloves are from the HT CA Star Spangled Man version
The belt is generic I got from Toy Anxiety
The pouches are from the Sideshow Deadpool
The shield I believe is a Captain Action CA shield with modded straps and Dulcoated to remove the shine.

That's very well done. One of the best comic-style figures I've seen.

I'm surprised Sideshow hasn't started a line of figures in this style! They did with DC characters.

If SS produced a line with the classic style costumes(instead of their own interpretations) like this fig and kept it under $200 I can see it being very popular

I keep wishing Hot Toys will wake and realize the huge market for comic figures .... Sideshow was supposed to do it but they are clearly not up to the job.

Sideshow is just glutton for punishment.

Is The comic version DeadPool the only figure in the line currently?

They also have Punisher and the upcoming Wolverine (Jan 2017) and Daredevil (July - Sep 2017)

I need some quick cash to fund other projects so I decided to sell it. It is up in the commerce section.

I hope Sideshow follows this figure exactly

*won't happen though*

Nice job! I'm still waiting on the Captain America head from Tony Mei!

That is just a PERFECT representation of Comic CAPTAIN AMERICA.

Beautiful Job.

Thanks guys, really appreciated.

That is an awesome looking Cap! I know in the other thread you posted him with the metal shield because of the darker red, but the comic shield looks great with him too. Hard to decide which is better, but I like the comic one I guess, only for the completed look. Great job though!
