Reviews & Info
Pros
- Classic 1:12 scale fabric uniform with simulated duralumin scale armor and detailed sculpted accents
- Vibrantly colored neo-classic costume with well-realized chain mail and attached star for depth
- Exclusive shield-shaped metal tin packaging featuring a lenticular Vita-Ray Chamber image of Steve Rogers’ transformation
- Over 32 points of articulation including improved elbow and hip joints, butterfly joint with good range, and solid head movement
- Extensive accessory set including two head sculpts (masked with physical wings and unmasked), multiple character hands (saluting, thumbs up, pointing), shield with magnetic attachments and harness, knife with boot sheath, grenades, interchangeable belt pouch and canteen, and display base with posing post
- Hands painted with nice washes and sculpted details on gloves, boots, and belt accessories
- Magnetic gauntlets and shield hold system with stable single grip handle
Cons
- Shield magnet weaker than some other figures, requiring use of handle for secure poses
- Minor paint issue on alternate head sculpt (small dot on nose) and some paint missing on hair sculpt
- Ankle joint is tight and has limited pivot, less than optimal for dynamic posing
- Grenades are very small and lack secure storage on figure, prone to falling and easy to lose
- Slight risk of damaging delicate mesh parts on the uniform when posing
- Higher price point due to exclusivity and packaging without significant figure upgrades over standard release
