    Hasbro 8" Captain America

    Has anyone else seen the 8" movie Captain America figure? it's all plastic with limited articulation like the Iron Man, War Machine and Thor Hasbro released for each movie. I find it odd that Hasbro keeps flirting wtih the 8" scale considering they release 10" figures from these movies also. I may pick one up, could be could for custom parts if nothing else.

    I've seen them everywhere... Walmart, Target, TRU. You should be able to locate a bunch in any of those stores.

      I just got one as part of my anniversary gift. I really like it, despite the limited articulation. The biggest draw-back is the unremoveable shield.
      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.

            I got one for free from the makers of the movie just for being a projectionist! (I was a little surprised to say the least) They sent them out as thank you's for helping make the movie a success. I wasn't planning on opening him.

                There's lots of Cap Movie Toys I just love ..., This just isn't 1 of them. To me the Figure is Horrible ..., I don't understand the appeal. 8inches ? Make your own ..., I bet it's better.

                I bought a handful of the 3&3/4inchers ..., and the Hot Toys figure I got on PreOrder.
                ... The Original Knight ..., Often Imitated, However Never Duplicated. The 1st Knight in Customs.


                always trading for Hot Toys Figures .

                  I want it for custom parts possibly. It just seems weird that Hasbro keeps putting out these movie figures in the 8" scale, almost as though they are testing the waters a little, or just teasing us. I mean they have 10" versions of these movie figures, why bother making figures that are 2" smaller?

                    I would think you'll start finding these marked down. I would check Targets because they typically move product fast once they start marking it down. And not all Targets mark down the same things. It will always vary.
