Congrats on a wonderful acquisition Chapter 2099; I like the BD version far more than I thought I would based on your pictures. My favorite part is the gouges/scratches in it. Seals the deal I am all in for a classic KA shield from AoU or CW... If I have my way it will be the one that comes on...

I haven't ordered anything yet bro but encouraged by your posts about the further licensing. I will be after a clean KA shield in the classic color scheme. Something akin to that blue stripe mount would be ideal. I am going to pass on the TWS one in the hopes that the AoU or CW ones have a...

The one seen here.

Thanks for that; want a solid source for King Arts stuff as BBTS has been uncharacteristically unreliable on KA stuff and my local source has disappeared:(

I love that new wall mount version as well. By rights the AoU shields should be a lighter color than the TWS ones which is appealing to me. It also makes a better companion piece for my Avengers eFX as it is from the same film series as opposed to the Cap one (not that they aren't all...

Having said all that, and I should probably post this in the KA and EFX threads as well before moving on from the topic for good, these will not be last shields out there. This is just the beginning as the demand is now tangible for all the companies out there, with and without licenses. The...

You forgot Lager is unlicensed knockoff :lol All kidding aside the 3 shields all have their pro's and con's; and the reality is that all 3 look spectacular in their own way. The EFX in its screen accuracy and how well it photographs as a result, the KA for its idealized look and display options...

What did they quote you? I thought they were cheaper than KA by $100-200 (granted without a display option). The price, without having a license, does bug me a bit as well. That being said if I was buying a shield purely on how it looks this one is hands down my favourite now that Chris Fields...

The KA does look fantastic as a standalone Cap shield. If you are not worried about accuracy/lineage it is the way to go. In regards to the straps, it sounds like you will only be carrying it for a day to get it signed by Stan the Man and I highly doubt the straps would break over the course of...

I guess we have differing opinions on the prevalence of the curve, I view it as a positive. I will say this; if the KA turned out as it appeared in the solicitations, it would have been the perfect piece to my eyes as well.

I think that your debate that the shield is flat because your TV is flat is far more laughable than the suggestion that I put forth that the curve in the shield, while not only 110% screen accurate and determined from the molds that made the ones Chris Evans carried, would be curved because the...

I don't know how the prominent curve on the EFX can be anything but a positive as: A) it is screen accurate B) it totally makes sense if being used to diffuse the energy of force and projectiles while concealing a body. I love the look of the King Arts shield, and its display options. It is...

Beautifully said and a very fair assessment of both. For me it was being able to answer "absolutely; it was made in concert with the same guys who made the ones Chris Evans carried on film" and direct a bunch of complete non-geeks to the story within the EFX COA and be genuinely impressed was...

If the total $$$$ amount can bring down the cost to us all as a bulk buy I would be down for a Cap shield

1. It is from the Winter Solider (both the red and silver will be darker as a result before the BD) 2. I got my Avengers shield 10-11 months after pre-order. In fairness to EFX, that is faster than the lest two Sideshow statues I ordered. Additionally the significant delay was because they...
