    The packing was indeed 100 times better than Spidy

    I dont know if it was Just my set but the Retro Cap box was NOT stuck to the side of the Display box... No sticky residue AT ALL!!!

    You still have to cut the perforrated edges to get to the accessories but the clothing is easily accessable... and with the plactic Clothing hangers no Holes

        New Cap all Dressed up and Ready to go

        Pulling the New Cap outfit off the plastic was a bit difficult because of how snug it is.
        the Fit on the Typs S body is Snug... But looks Good!

        Capt Rogers Suit came off the plastic with ease... careful to remove the Tie first... yes it is adjustable.
        and fits nicely on the Body

        Because of the Plastics that Hold the extra outfits in place its a little crowded if you want to display them back in the box but it will work for those of you who want to keep it all in there... if not they will fit even better.
        Mine are displayed with the Plastic clothing attachments in there

          Yes the stars are stiched to the outfits, you can Glue or you can choose not to... IMO not a deal breaker... both stars are made of very good quality material.

          The Retro cap shield has the Sticker creases but once again so did the Original Cap and He is a little high in the box... again not a deal breaker for me...

          IMO Just as good If not Better than the Spiderman set 2 for 2 for me

          I hope this helps.... and according to my comic guy Wolverine on May 22 fingers crossed.

              The painted heads have the same custom look Picard and Pike had. The suits are neat. Love the retro army look.
