Big Captain Action news

[warlock664]

Do you recall if the variant Captain America costume had a shadow painted on his mask? Or was it just blue like the standard costume set?

Nope, the mask looks just like the standard. I actually bought the Captain America set, but not the Thor set (I believe the only difference in the Thor set is the bearded head, which comes with the Deluxe set anyway).

The differences I can see with the new Captain America set are:

-the shield has an outer blue stripe, then white, then red, then white, then the inner blue circle with star
-the belt is red instead of black
-the stripes around the midriff are thinner, so there are more of them

I wanted to post a pic, but I haven't been able to log onto photobucket to host my shots.

I stopped at the local TRU today and saw they had the Arctic CA and the variant Thor & Captain America sets (bearded Thor and Cap with blue-stripe shield). So, anyone looking for these, check your local stores.
I swear, my TRU is so odd with distribution: earlier this year, before Easter, we got the standard Captain America and Spider-Man costume sets, but we never got the standard Captain Action figures to put them on (I know, I check in a couple of times a week, plus I know one of the managers). How many parents must have been pi$$ed when they realized the costume set was worthless without a figure? They still have several of the Cap & Spidey sets.
They got the standard Dr Evil figure in a few weeks ago, but they still haven't received the standard Thor and Loki costume sets. Today, I stopped in looking for them and found the Arctic CA and the variant Thor & Cap sets. Since I still needed a couple of basic figures, I picked up 2 of the Arctic CAs for my Deluxe Thor set (on order) and Hawkeye. I also picked up the variant Captain America set, just because Cap is awesome! And I picked up a Dr Evil last week for my Deluxe Loki set. I still haven't decided if the different shade of yellow used on the standard Loki vs the deluxe is enough to make me pick up the standard, if my TRU ever gets it (the variation was first reported here: http://megomuseum.com/community/show...ction-Loki-set ).

Wow! I would have thought the deluxe exclusive would have been the hypnotic eye since that is the vintage bit that everyone would be after for the spre parts.

Perhaps there will be some sculpy brain customs coming up in the CA universe.

Mine has the loose knee issue too.

The TRU Dr. Evil comes with all the same basic stuff that a regular original Dr. Evil would have came with, so I assume that was the logic there...

But I'm with you TCM. It should have came with one other brain. Maybe one that's different than the ones in the Deluxe pack.

I had my buddy grab me a Dr. Evil from Toys 'R Us yesterday. He is a very cool figure, but I was VERY disappointing that the non-deluxe version doesn't include the extra brains. The other extras don't bother me, but this is a major feature of the figure, and a feature I think is extremely cool, but now I am stuck with just one brain. He also had extremely loose knees.
