    I made my own green card Palitoy Captain America

    I looked and looked for him to finally appear somewhere. I couldn't find him.
    So I went back to old comic covers, and tried to find something that looked like the shoulder-line from the angle of his neck on the back of the Palitoy package.
    I tweaked and tweaked him off and on over a while, and looked at every detail of online pics online of the Palitoy cards.
    Until someone who owns him finally shares a pic, I thought this one'd fit right in as a second-to-none missing piece to the collections.
    Hope you like.

    The front is glossy finish & the back is satin finish. The card is punched but the peg hole us still intact. The bubble is repro. We know he only came with gloves in Mexico, but I thought "Why not?" and gave him oven mitts anyway. The gloves are from a type1 glove template. They each have thin red material interiors and thin vinyl-like exteriors (so they are pliable), and I airbrushed them in bright matte red.

        I knew someone here had to make this figure. Saw it on line the other night.
        Looks really cool - and a great idea for a custom. looks just like palitoy would have made it, if they made it.

        Well done
