        looks good,but I think its just the retro cap head repainted.the clear shield is kind of nifty if anyone is thinking of doing a reb brown 70s tv cap.

          Finally!! I had to call and order over the phone. The guy I talked to was super cool and the hold music was super cool! The song I heard was "Chiron Beta Prime", which I'm sure nobody here, but me, has ever heard. True to their 'geek' name, for sure. So, I can't wait to get them!!

            Received my ThinkGeek Cap in the mail and he's pretty awesome. The 40's cap head is a new sculpt with the same cap outfit and flap boots, the super soldier outfit with the clear shield is my favorite part of this set.

              My set was waiting for me when I got home - pretty cool variant! Especially like the Super Soldier outfit and translucent shield.
              "It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."

                  Not familiar with clear shield other than 70s TV Reb Brown Cap had as mentioned. Also looks like 90s energy shield Cap temporarily had when he lost his original disc shield.

                  Now we need Reb Brown Cap Set with his motorcycle helmet and visor, clear shield and 2 different Cap costumes from pilot and 2nd 70s Cap TV Movies!

                  Lou Ferigno/ Bill Bixby Incredible Hulk and Nicholas Hammond Spider- Man 70s TV sets as well!

                      this set is rather nice ,terribly expensive ,still on the fence about it ,but i am sure ill get one .would have been cooler if he had a removible
                      cowl ,would like to have seen the 40s cap with red hands and cuffs done like green arrow except it red .#2000 sets ,thats far more then Daredevil for
                      a variant which was #1500

                        hey how can they do a nice star on the super soldier and still have that crappy star application on the 40s one .another missed opportunity fix.

                          Yeah, a removable cowl for the 1940's version would have been great, and yeah, the star again hanging on by a thread (literally) is lame.

                          One other thing - the Steve Rogers Super-Soldier costume is really tight, likely due to the "leather" shoulder straps. Maybe you can see the star is kinda stretched out; it's stretched pretty bad in the back, too. I tried it on an S-Type body and then a Zica body, before finally trying it on an FTC body. The FTC body worked best, or least-worst, anyway.

                            It seems really strange that they made a new set and didn't fix the star. Cap's head looks like they just repainted the classic one .

                                Easy pass. The single stitched dangle star, tight outfit, just reaffirms my avoidance of characters that have already been produced.
                                The shields are neat and the headsculpts are good, just not enough there for the price.
