Summary
The Modern Captain America figure offers a distinct, military-inspired take on the character with a fabric uniform featuring larger diamond-patterned chain mail and a more realistic, metallic shield. It includes extensive articulation with over 32 points, two detailed head sculpts, an array of hands, magnetic attachments for the shield and harness, and multiple accessories like grenades and a knife, enhancing both playability and display options. The figure's blend of detailed sculpting, functional magnets, and a balanced modern design differentiates it within the line, appealing especially to collectors who favor a more tactical aesthetic over the classic spandex look.

Reviews & Info
Pros
- Over 32 points of articulation, including double-jointed elbows and knees, torso crunch, and neck tilt
- Two hyper-realistic portraits (helmeted and unmasked Steve Rogers) with detailed head sculpts and excellent facial expressions
- 1:12 scale fabric uniform with special silk screening and intricate sculpted costume accents (belt, gloves, harness, boots)
- Metallic, shiny, and well-painted modern shield with magnetic attachments for arm and back harness
- Extensive accessories including multiple interchangeable hands (pointing, thumbs up, saluting, holding, posing, shield throwing, fists), knife with boot sheath, grenade set with clip-on belt attachment, interchangeable pouch and canteen
- Display base with adjustable posing post and removable peg
- Detailed paint applications on gloves, boots, grenades, and accessories
- Articulated gauntlets with magnetic attachments for shield
- Ankle joints allow some pivot and rocking; boot swivel enabled by magnet but limited toe pivot
- Modern Captain America’s baggier, more military-style pants facilitate better articulation and posing
- Secure packaging with deluxe fifth panel window box and protective acetate slipcover
Cons
- Some chain mail pieces appear loose and prone to detaching
- Minor paint imperfections on shield (small nicks) and head sculpts (small dots on nose/flesh tone)
- Ankle pivot is limited and may require “physical therapy” to loosen
- Magnetic attachments for shield and gauntlets are weaker than desired, can be easily knocked off
- Shield size is somewhat small compared to scale
- Knife sheath fit is tight; swapping belt pouch and canteen may cause stability issues
- Some stitching on uniform is uneven and may fray over time
- Slightly higher price point ($80) compared to other One:12 figures may be a consideration
