Summary
Classic Red Skull stands out for its minimalist 1941 costume design, iconic accessories like the Cosmic Cube and flamethrower, and an exceptional packaging that evokes period-appropriate Nazi propaganda art. Its New York Comic-Con exclusive release broke the typical year-long pre-order cycle, delivering the figure swiftly and with unexpected quality and articulation. This figure serves as a definitive Captain America adversary within the line, balancing historical homage with collector appeal.
Pros
- Based on Red Skull’s original 1941 appearance, offering a classic, minimalist aesthetic.
- Comes with unique accessories including a flamethrower, Cosmic Cube, and a Luger-style gun.
- Packaging features an evocative, propaganda-inspired artwork enhancing presentation and collector appeal.
- Released as a New York Comic-Con exclusive with a relatively short wait time between pre-order and release.
- Articulated sufficiently to serve as a dynamic opponent for Captain America figures.
- Minimalist costume design allows for better articulation compared to the standard release’s trench coat.

- Some minor issues with ankle articulation reported in the One:12 Collective line, possibly present here.
