there is a post buried in here about that.

They will pull right out of the forearms. You can use a bit of hot water or a concentrated hair dryer blast to soften up the forearm plastic to make it a bit easier.

Personally, I like vintage CA bodies for vintage CA costumes and the Playing Mantis bodies for the modern stuff, but that is just me. Plus, I don't really worry about breaking a wrist pin or a finger on the PM hands.

Thanks rche!

I tried to put the Captain America uniform on Captain Action and am frustrated and disappointed with the results.

The suit is too tight, the belt is too short-won't stay closed, I was able to get one glove to snap on, can't get the other one to snap on, the mask does not fit right, can't get it to go down far enough, looks like he has a double chin, the velcro won't stay closed.

I have not even bothered to try anything with the shield.
Its a big disappointment and a shame.

The Captain America uniform LOOKS nice, as does the mask-but it does not fit Captain Action.
To me the Ideal and Playing Mantis CA figures were better.
I probably won't bother getting the Thor set as the mask probably won't fit right.

I took off the mask and tried again-not easy but got it on right this time!
Finally got the other glove on.
Belt is too tight-can only get it on the first notch.
But I have to say this
He does look good!

Don't know if anyone posted this yet, but Cotswold Collectibles is posting on Facebook that Round 2 is coming out with a Rocketeer set.

EDIT: A story link is here, but Cotswold took their original story down for some reason.

EDIT (Part Two): I sent Cotswold a message on FB about it, and they said they had to take it down, since it hadn't been cleared for a press release yet.

If I only buy one set, this would be it. Great character. I'm looking forward to seeing what else they do.
