Someone posted this on Facebook and I think it shows off the likeness really well...

I?ve finally found a pose I?m going with


Sent from a point in space and time.

That head is small The shoulder being wider contributes to it but the head is definitely smaller than previous iterations, wider shoulders or not. You can tell just by looking at the jaw area.

 

[a-dev]

Are there any easy fixes for the Traps issue on the older figures?

 

[BrooklynWolf X]

Guys, the size of the head is accurate...

 

[GaryPool]

You guys need to relax. The heads arent getting smaller. The shoulders are just a little too wide

This pic looks great.

 

[jonathan719]

Does anyone have a pic of masked head next to unmasked head to compare size please ?

 

[jye4ever]

Maybe they are just preparing us for the jawless pinhead Anthony Mackey as Falcon Cap

Head looks small to me here... quite small.

There’s a factor here to consider. When you look at almost all our heroes they use a superhero proportion of 9 heads for the artwork. When it comes to costuming, often, you can see that Chris Evans is tall but he’s no Schwarzenegger. In a couple of scenes we have seen him really pumped up with few items of clothing on. But mainly it will be padded suits and wide shoulders that enhance that effect. When it comes to HT figures in general and cap in particular, I see the same posts regarding the end result of the figure in that he doesn’t look muscular enough. There are two solutions to that. Either use larger bodies that will start to make Cap seem out of scale with other figures or, slightly reduce the size of the head.
I’m only playing devils advocate here, but I am loving that “9 heads” proportion in the pics posted in the last few pages.
His body really looks massive and gives a real sense of him still being that awesome super soldier.

The modifications I plan to make are thinning out the chest piece putting everything on a more narrow shoulder body. Then custom cutting the jaxon headsculpt to fit the helmet. Here is a quick mock up of before and after

I was thinking similar, I look forward to seeing if that works!

Damn HT what the hell

I can definitely say that smaller headsculpt looks jarring compared to all the others.
In watching some reviews, it appears that the new Steve Rogers sculpt is the normal size
of previous sculpts... any comparison shots of that?

 

[RulerOfAsgard]

The new sculpt is small. But the shoulders are bulkier on the figure. Ultimately the good far outweighs the bad on this figure so I'll pick him up.

 

[Dino_Ranger_White]

Perhaps if enough people complain Hot Toys will issue a properly sized head sculpt and an apology letter.

Oh, wait... Too soon?

Haha, don't get me started on the 85. Not just the headsculpt. New set of traps, shoulders, properly scaled legs, etc

 

[Zariguella]

that is really a small head. the comparison makes it look even smaller.

I also think that as a result of the higher collar he has a JL Superman long neck situation going on. Either that or the head isn't fully seated in that photo. Compare where the bottom of his chin is vs. that of the IW version - it's way too high.

 

[Dino_Ranger_White]

Good news is that the other helmeted Cap sculpts (Civil War, Age of Ultron, Stealth Cap) are readily
available and have the neck attached, so just popping one of those on this body would solve the issue...
no worries about the neck not matching the skin tone of the face.

I was perfectly happy with the old helmeted sculpt, so it is not really a downgrade.

 

[davejames]

Yeah the helmeted head does look a bit undersized now, but with a more dynamic pose will hopefully not be as obvious. And the likeness on the other head is so good I'll probably be displaying it more with that one anyway.

Damn HT what the hell

with how people are acting, you'd think thats what we are actually getting.
