    U.S. Agent

    Just an early morning Kit bash of US Agent

    Finally finished this guy up. I could not find his head, but came across it as I was unpacking some more boxes.

    How he was made:
    I believe the head is from castaway toys.
    The suit is from Brian Leitner - he made this for me about a year ago - Thanks BL
    The Body is doc mego non swivel as well as the boots

    The shields are made by me - he has been seen with them in both styles - So I just made them both.
    They are made from automotive vinyl stickers that I put over pin back covers (you can get these at michaels for like 4/5 per bag for like 2 bucks)
    and the box is from Toyroom - Thanks Anthony

    Hope you like it
    Enjoy

        yes Lee he also has wings on the head in some comics and without them in others - I went with out to give him a different look than Captain America

        Ok for the shield: They have button kits at Michaels - they come 4/5 to a bag for like 2/3 bucks.
        It comes with both the fronts and the backs.
        I use the backs even though they have a indent in them where the metal pin goes as they are a pinch larger. Just remove the metal pin

        I have these auto motive vinyl stickers made from a friend of mine. I use a blow dryer to heat them up. I put them on real slow trying to get out all the tiny air bubbles as I go. You always wind up with a few of them no matter what - but they might not even show up in the pictures. I than hot glue a strap on the back of the shield and BAM you have a shield. The stickers cost me 8.00 a pop. he also makes reg. cap shields as well which I have posted in the past. If you even need one let me know and I will get him to make it for you.

        if you need more info just pm me or well talk more on the bi-weekly call

                    nice figure, and great work on the shields. I don't remember him ever being wingless, tho.
