      I've had this theory: the name of the line is Famous Covers and they used Avengers #4 for Cap. On that cover Cap is leaning forward so his star is bigger and his stripes are forshortened. I've often wondered if they took that artwork literallly when they made his suit. Hence the screaming mouth, giant star and tiny stripes.
      Better late than never.....

        I've liked Mego's Caps, changing out the hands for red Spidey ones helps.

        Mego was always cutting corners if they could...Adding gauntlets or cuffed boots as a running change would have been great, but *gasp* they had to pay for a shield as Palitoy points out.

        For the 8" version, it's that terrible deco that sabotages the sculpt...

        And MegoSpidey's Cap is the best custom of him I've seen...
        WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

          Interesting Theory! I always assumed it was a "nineties" thing, but I guess that was the cover they were basing him on.
