Hot Toys MMS243 - 1/6th scale Captain America & Steve Rogers

[WhoaItsJBot]

Anyone know if the unmasked Steve Rogers head sculpt from The Avengers Cap figure will fit on the ball socket for either the Stealth Figure or the Civilian figure?

I want to display both figures unmasked. The head sculpts for the 2 pack have fixed necks while Steve Rogers head from Avengers Cap is on jointed neck. I don't know if the ball joints on the two new figures are the same size as one on the Avengers Cap.

I don't want to pay $120+ for an unmasked head from the HK sellers that have parted out the WS 2 pack set, if I don't need to.

Just wait until it arrives in the US, it'll be parted out on loose parts sites for half the price. I reckon $70 on Monkey Depot.

So what do you guys think? Late December/ Early January for Sideshow to receive the 2 pack?

 

[bonestockbrz]

My guess is mid December.

 

[ApeManRyan]

I was thinking the same thing.

 

[chandrill]

If its mid December we should be receiving the 2 week notice within the next few Days.

 

[WhoaItsJBot]

Everyone should just expect January. Otherwise there will be disappointment yet again every day of December when people keep "calling it".

 

[LipSmack]

Yeah some may come December but a lot of you are just going to be disappointed and stuck waiting...

yeah it will fit, might not look right though, theres ways of adjusting

As long as I get my Cap, I don't care when he ships.

Unless this gets the speedy Winter Soldier turnaround, I wouldn't expect this for another five or so weeks.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Looking forward to it.

Completely forgot I had this preordered from BBTS. Glad I checked! Hopefully I'm ready to pay this thing when they receive them.

 

[WhoaItsJBot]

That's why I like flex pay on SSC, lol. When there's no firm date it's easy to get surprised.

Anyone want to sell me a golden age cap shield? I can't even find them on eBay...

 

[skizzoid]

I hope you get BW and WS soon those are great figures, oh a Cap-heavy collection, I know what you mean... when this set arrives I'll officialy have more Cap figures than Iron Man figures... how crazy is that?

Just this set, and the actual Winter Soldier should arrvie soon. I thought about getting Falcon but I don't like him that much. Will you get Falcon?

Thanks, I hope to pick them up soon too! More Cap than Iron Man? That's... awesome! Which other Cap figures do you have? Iron Man is easy to get carried away with (and it's even movie accurate to have a Hall of Armor). I briefly had the Midas before returning it (I kinda regret being so picky about a couple flaws), thought about the Python and Mark 42, and now I'm waiting for the Mark 3 diecast. Until then, the Mechanic is working just fine for me.

I also thought about Falcon, but it's not a figure I really want. The wings look cool, but it just takes up too much space. And without the wings, it's not a very interesting figure (to me).

Yeah I definitely agree. Normally when they have a NRD and no exclusive item I'll preorder from BBTS. This one got away from me.

My set arrives from HK tomorrow already. Can't believe it got here that quick. I'll try to post some cell pics after work tomorrow night. One more thing to be thankful for this Thanksgiving!

I have another belt and harness coming too that I'm going to add to my Golden Age Cap. He wore it for the scene when he was giving his "freedom" speech at the Triskelion, but then it disappeared in the next scene. I just think it'll look bad arse on GA.

Awesome, congrats! Looking forward to seeing some in-hand pics of the figures.

The harness appearing then disappearing for that one scene always bothered me. It looks really nice, and I'm not really sure why it showed up at all (wasn't it part of the Stealth suit that got taken?... and he certainly wasn't wearing it in the woods). My theory is that Marvel wanted us to think that speech in the trailer was when he wore the Stealth outfit, and when it came to putting the movie together, it just happened to be the best take out of all of them (including those without the harness). Otherwise, someone working on continuity should've picked that up.

I should have waited for the bootleg. Would have saved me a crap ton of cash. Looks amazing for a knockoff, IMO.
