That is an amazing looking statue!

I don't like the look of the uniform. I'd like a statue of Cap with the look from 75 years ago. Not a modern one. But that's just me.

^More people are familiar with the movie uniforms now, so it probably makes more sense to go that way.

They should put it on the US Capital dome

Mentioning Simon and Kirby on the statue shouldn't even be an issue. Their names belong on it.

I'm so going to that event!!!!!!!! I was born and raised in Brooklyn and always had nerd pride that Steve Rogers lived in Brooklyn....sounds like a perfect day to see the statue dedicated and take my daughter down to my stomping grounds!

Yeah, I was just saying that during the road trip to Chris. It sounds like it would have been fun.

It will be interesting to see where the statue eventually ends up permanently after Prospect Park and Bed, Bath, Beyond this year.
