    There has never been a comic correct Captain America

    Every version of this figure is Flawed, Missing Ears, Missing wings, Horrible Heads (FC), can anyone find a character that has been done so many times over that has gotten the Shaft more than poor old Cap?

    Mego- 8" No white sleeves, no flounced boots, no gloves
    12" needed red hands, and a head that looked less like the watcher.
    Secret wars, No ears, and lack of a proper shield
    CAH no stripes and a silver star?
    The list goes on and on.

    Not being a big comic fan or astute observer, I didn't even realize the Mego version was incorrect until I joined the Museum.

          I always felt the star on the chest was way too big. Stripes way too small. Not in love with the "Angry Yelling 90's Face".


          Hasbro's was much better.

            I think the Hasbro Signature Series is pretty close as well, probably my favorite.

                  And what's with the long face on the Hasbro one? Looks like he needs Prozac

                    Look at the star on the FC chest, it was NEVER drawn that big, and he has a Oblong head.

                      The utility belt kills it for me.

                        Mine too, but the one red stripe in the middle looks terrible. The closest to perfection.

                          You have to go custom to get an accurate cap

                              Cap has got so many little details and then the killer combination of having an accessory, toymakers always seem to shave off a detail (or paint application) or three on the final product.

                              That's why there are so many perfect Hulk toys, toy makers love him, he doesn't even need a shirt or shoes.
