Got mine off the shelf for few pics with some art I recently got a frame for. I still think this Cap is the best released...so far.

Nice artwork. Who's it by?

Nice artwork. Who's it by?

His name is Rob Duenas. He's had a few kickstarters to sell prints and stuff. You search for Sketchcraft and you'll find him.

I got Cap this week (from a fellow member here), and it does look pretty awesome in person. I kept going back and forth between getting this and the Golden Age version (which I had preordered just in case), but in the end, I like the First Avenger version more (love all those straps), even if it has a plastic shield that flakes.

Out of the box, the arms were stiff, and the elbows wouldn't bend, so I thought I'd try to take the jacket off and see what was going on (before I broke an elbow by mistake). And then the zipper came off the back of the jacket. I tried to find advice in this thread, and most everyone with that problem gave up trying to fix it, so I was pretty worried I had broken it within minutes of opening it. Two hours of fiddling later, I managed to get the zipper back on like it was; and I never want to try to take that jacket off again (unless it's to swap in a body with better articulation).

Next up, I want to tinker with the belt a bit, maybe tighten it up and/or pass it through the belt loops so it doesn't sag so much. And then there's the shield, which I will probably spray coat (although the cheapo metal shield is very tempting). All the tinkering aside, I'm very glad I finally picked this up. It really is my favorite version of Cap.

Edit: Thought I'd add a picture of my current pose; sorry for the poor lighting/picture quality.

Nice.
Aren't those HT zips the most fiddly things, lol.

They certainly are!

I took hokietwo's advise and padded out the boots. I'm much happier with them now! Also switched back to the avengers head.

This is much better than Golden age version.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Agreed guys - this is still THE best HT Cap!

Btw.. that above head sculpt looks like Ben Affleck something fierce.

 

[cadaver202]

It's just the avengers cap head. Probably just the bad photo and lighting making it look like that.

I might just put my Avengers Rogers head on the TFA and put that weird SSM head back on it. Looks nice.

Watched this last night on my projector and I think the film gets better with each time you watch you. Kinda mad looking an Cap now tho lol

Nice pies and congrats

You should invest in the Tamiya semi-gloss spray to preserve that nice flake-less a shield you have. I think that the original shield has much nicer straps than the eBay KO.

Im still stoked I have this version and not that decroded-piece-o'CRAP! From the "Gold Age" America.

Trying to see if the Avengers sculpt looks good on TFA...and the Rescue sculpt on SSM.

The TFA looks good. That Star spangly man is a hot mess! That body is just goofy.

The rescues sculpt looks dopey to me. The matted hair on that head causes it to be tough to photograph as well. It has a good face from certain angles but the hair makes it look right out of the Andy Griffith show in others.
