New Hot Toys Captain America USO/Rescue version?

The bomber jacket and helmet should easily go over the USO suit.

It's not as simple as that, you've got at least one more HS, two if you want an unmasked portrait, different gloves, belts and bandolier, combat trousers, then knee length gaiters/chaps then new boots. I wouldn't want to be putting those gaiters on and off over the USO uniform. In fact the only pieces this would have in common as a figure would be the USO top and the shield. Makes sense that it'd be two different figures. Plus, as Howard says, likely to be greater demand for the WWII outfit.

And yes HT are in this to make money, that's how companies survive. I don't think making separate USO/rescue mission Cap's is an unreasonable move.

Yeah, sounds like WWII ("Rescue") version will be a standard release and the USO/Golden Age suit version will likely be one of the Summer convention exclusives.

I'll get both.

Sounds good to me!
I'm up for a Rescue Version, the other one not so much.

The USO version on its own wouldn't make a very good figure, would look way to cheesy

If they go with a screen accurate USO version it would be awful. I think they intentionally made it look goofy so the soldier suit would look better. If they did an 'optimized' headsculpt with the mask, it will sell much better.
The rescue version is awesome but I wonder if it will be battle damaged or new looking since the other two are both pristine.

I would gladly buy a DX of this figure too.

Don't count on it, it looks like there next few dx will be robocop, rocky and more star wars, which imo would be much more deserving then this version of cap which is essential his "becoming captain america" attire, the equivalent of Peters wrestling suit in spiderman 1.

Robocop would be a waste of a dx.. He wears a mask over his face, PERS would be useless

Been in this thread so many times and I still dont know what the USO stands for, title should be changed to Golden Age/Rescue version

Personally I'm more interested in the rescue version as I feel the Avengers versions caters for those wanting the classic Captain America look but the initial idea of doing a 2 in 1 would of been awesome, shame Hot Toys have decided against that

Well take comfort it that we will not have to spend $300 just to get the one figure most people want.

Ukelele Society of Omaha

Still a waste of a DX! ... Cap would suit much better as a DX.. Won't happen but would make much more sense... Or a tony stark, with suit, raciing suit, and black sabath t shirt and jeans.... Aww wishful thinking

Yes and YES!
Not to get OT but the Tony would be freaking awesome! Then I'd like a Pepper in the short shorts to go with him please.

At the end of the day, that is an alternate look of the character and I'd imagine few would display him like that unless they had more then one or if it were a full battle damage version, I'd have the same issue with an unmasked Spiderman sculpt getting pers or an Ironman/Tony Stark.

Every single pleeb who voted for a Gwyneth Paltrow Pepper Potts figure over a USO Cap should absolutely be banished off this planet.

Absolutely!

So, what are we looking at here for release dates/avenues? I take it the USO "comic" costume is going to a convention exclusive, does that mean SDCC? Then the Rescue costume is a standard release, so Q4 or early 2013 Q1? I'm really looking forward to that Chris Evans HS on the Rescue version. I hope the extra time on it means it will come out extremely accurate.

I suspect either Golden Age or Resuce version will be one of the SDCC exclusives, whichever of the two misses out I doubt will ever see the light of day unfortunately. Personally I think Rescue version will be the Toy Fair exclusive

That's a shame. I really hope that if we only get one version we get the Rescue version. I'd like both preferably. When do Hot Toys usually unveil there SDCC exclusives?

Revealed. Comic con exclusive, check sideshows Facebook thingy:

If its the two in one shown/teased before with the Golden age costume aswell/underneath i'll be getting this, if not they can keep it

Damn it, they better make the USO version too (if it doesn't come with this one).
