Considering picking this up while its still a good price on ebay. Is the body swap to an advanced TT necessary because of height?

no. articulation. honestly its not necessary. i did mine for the hell of it.

In the customs thread there´s a guy who make a stunning Army Uniform Captain America. I think he got the CIAN HS, and it look pretty same equal as the picture.

I think it´s good enough, I´ll give it a try.

Its got plastic rivet/studs that perforate the fabric

So it's like a ear ring stud? Is glue also holding it in place?

The articulation really isn't as bad as people make it out to be. Its a bit restricted but if you work with it you shouldnt have too much of a problem.

I'm more concerned about the height actually than the articulation.

 

[altairezio]

Did you buy one? If the product looks like it does in the picture i'll probably get one. Hoping to hear feedback first on someone who has one.

Nope, not yet. Think I'll get one only after Hot Toys The Avengers Captain America is out. Though the sellers of the head sculpt seem to be constantly adding different photos of the product. No idea why they used it on.... why don't you guys see for yourself.

The later batch comes with taller foot pegs. It should be fine

Cap on a TT Advance was a must for me. Way more arm articulation. These poses are close to impossible with the original body.

Enjoy.

what is your plan ?

Yes, some buyers of the early batch ones could ask for taller pegs at toy hunter. I believe they fix this issue for the SS batch, so you guys in the US should be fine.

i also got the taller pegs

I want to have just a helmet prop so he can hold it. Maybe put some brown leather looking pads on the inside for detail. I'll get either the avengers reveal head or the Rescue head if it's decent to put on my TFA.

It's pretty easy to make taller foot pegs if you need some. I just took a regular pair and cut them in to middle of the post. Then I drilled a 1/16 hole from the inside and cut a metal post the same size as Caps. All you have to do then is put the post in the peg halves and make sure they are the same height.

I used lawn market flag posts form Lowes for the posts. Very strong.

 

[jedijim3002]

I'm attempting to make a post capcicle Rogers. Here's what I have so far.

Removing the helmet has become a lot more complicated than I first expected. I pretty much ruined it trying to get it off. It's really glued on well. You literally have to pry the helmet away from the back of the head where it's slotted in and away from the face where it's heavily glued.

maybe you should have used some heat to make the glue softer,before destroing it....
